My McDonald's Shamrock Shake Journey: An Emotional Roller Coaster

So last year, I dragged my Australian husband out to get a Shamrock Shake, due to the nostalgia factor for me. I thought he should experience this as a newly minted American citizen. No trouble finding them here in CA. However, the one's we got were somehow strawberry mixed with the tiniest amount of mint. I was so angry. I wrote a letter to the manager of that store and got some free Big Mac coupons. Whoo hoo. (note lack of !).

The biggest memory I have of Shamrock shakes from when I was a kid, was having green bowel movements after drinking them (no joke). I'm sure/hope they are using less toxic dyes now.

I don't have a ___ in my kitchen and I don't want one.

Waffle maker. I know I'd use it once or twice when I first get it and then it would be something I just have to find room to store.

Dinner Tonight: Grandmother's Egg Salad (Sandwich)

Funny what an individual taste issue this is, I just like it simple, with celery and mayo, I feel any kind of onion or shallot adds way too much tang and relish, don't even get me started. Egg salad is such a simple pure food....I need to make my own mayo soon, I've never done it and I just made butter this past weekend, so mayo is next.

New Food Documentary, Food Inc.

I saw it at Toronto. It was depressing and fascinating. It actually made me cry for the future of our country and it's families for many reasons. It did not tackle the obesity problem - that wasn't the objective but it's obviously related. One of the most heartbreaking scenes was watching a low income family try to by vegtables at a supermarket when it's more cost- effcient for them to go to a drive thru and order off the dollar menu.

Fresh & Easy? Not So Simple

I've been to two different ones, Eagle Rock and Van Nuys and the experiences were completly different. Eagle Rock was well-lit and well stocked with few customers. Van Nuys location was dark, crowded and everything seemed to be either on it's expiration date or ready to expire the next day. The bread we bought there was due to expire within a day of buying it, how is anyone going to eat a loaf of bread in one day?

Paula Deen or Serious Eats Trying to Kill Us?

I was too busy eating my ice cream and missed the article about the deep fried bacon. I can't imagine anything better fried + bacon = heaven.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

I tried these last night. They were extremely tasty but because I didn't measure the sweet potato (I just used two medium ones and assumed it was one cup), they came out very flat...not biscuit-like at all but we loved them. They were more like pancakes that you could pick up with your hands :-)

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 23: What's Your Ideal Diet Breakfast?

If that's what you like, who is anyone to tell you not to.
I'm on a homemade smoothie kick lately. Frozen blueberries, banana, non-fat milk and non-fat yogurt. I whip it up in the blender and drink it on the road. It does however lack the salty factor. :-)

Cupcakes in LA

Leda's is unique. Most of their cakes are minature (two bites), except for the kids cupcakes that are regular size - funny right? The flavor of the adult cupcakes are out of this world and often special like key lime and blood orange. The ccakes I've had from the famous Sprinkles were dry and not impressive to me. I think the Leda's cupcakes benefit from being smaller in that they don't dry out and most of them contain a small amount of excellent filling. Biggest negative is their new and extremely ridculously limited operating hours:

Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday
Open for pre-order pick up only
Orders must be placed 24 hrs in advanced
24 cupcake minimum per flavor

Friday and Saturday
Open 10:30 am to 6:00 pm

Sunday and Monday
Closed
