We Try Every Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory

Ohhhhhh Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake... it's so amazing, I have a really difficult time trying anything else. BUT Tiramisu, Lemon Raspberry Cream and Key Lime are going on the list for the future!

Epic kudos to you guys.

The Brunch Dish: Gozleme at Sip Sak

Had dinner here last night - it was fantastic! The Adana Kebab was excellent.

United States of Pizza: Michigan

Bell's Pizza in East Lansing? Sorry, but yuuuck. Silver Beach Pizza in St. Joseph is my favorite place to go. Unfortunately, the Slice review doesn't do it justice, IMO - with their nontraditional sauce and cheese, margherita pizza is not the way to go! But you can't go wrong almost any other way...the garlic greek is hugely popular and equally delicious.

how many Thanksgivings are you having?

Had three already and one more on the books. One with about 30 friends last Sunday afternoon, with family and friends Sunday night and a feast at work. Last will be on Thanksgiving, and just with my immediate family where we're vacationing.

Feels to me like Thanksgiving is already over!

In St. Joseph Michigan, a Taste of Chicago's South Side at Silver Beach Pizza

I've definitely found the margherita the least desirable of the specialty pizzas I've tried, so I'm not surprised with your disappointment. I don't think it should even be called that, given their cheese blend, but that's just me :)

But that crust... different, but so good.

Poll: Where Are You Eating Thanksgiving?

Disney World!

Not exactly sure where, but made reservations at The Wave at the Contemporary Resort, Plaza Restaurant at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Going to be a game-time decision based on when we arrive and whether or not they have a [good] Thanksgiving menu.

So much baking in my house that the stand mixer is a very big deal, but the immersion blender is probably the best multi-tasker.

Not ready to part with cold-brewed iced coffee. I don't know what I'm going to do when it really cools off.

Breakfast Cereal Marshmallows: Yea or Nay?

Never, ever liked 'em, even when I was little. Still ate them though - just needed to have the right marshmallow-to-oat ratio in each spoonful.
