This was one very thorough and mouthwatering post. I can't help but wonder how many doughnuts were harmed/eaten in the making of this write up. ;-)

That is so crazy that your two experiences were so different. Hopefully they are now consistent with your second one.

I love Fleming's Happy hour. All the apps on the menu are delicious and I definitely agree that the $6 burger is a good deal. I've never had those potato chips before.

I just made these this weekend! Like you I didn't really want to use oreos so instead I made them with Girl Scout thin mints. i was really happy with how they turned out. Not only were they really good, but I think they are less "intense" then some of the other cookie combinations. I didn't really feel like I was eating three cookies, just one delicious one. I didn't use Picky Palate's cookie recipe, but used one of my favorite doughy choc chip cookie recipes instead.

This year I baked Green tea shortbread tree cookies, red velvet shortbread cookies, red velvet chocolate chip cookies, nutella chocolate chip cookies, green tea sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies and spritz cookies

Pike Place Chowder has amazing seafood chowder. I recently went to Seattle for the first time and reviewed a couple of popular touristy places if you are interested http://kirbiecravings.com/outside-of-san-diego/seattle/

I used mine this weekend to mix the dough for my chocolate bread http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2010/09/chocolate-bread.html

I made French Macaron ice cream sandwiches this weekend! Didn't even realize I fit the weekend challenge until now. http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2010/07/macaron-ice-cream-sandwiches-matcha-macarons-with-pistachio-ice-cream.html

This is one of my favorite foods. It isn't always so ugly looking though. Some are wrapped nicely like a burrito. The ones made with purple rice are pretty.

I made some healthy green tea muffins with blueberries and pomegranates. The recipe uses very little sugar or butter. http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2010/01/green-tea-muffins-with-blueberries-and-pomegranates.html
In the past I've also made green tea yogurt cakes http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2009/07/easy-tasty-matcha-green-tea-yogurt-cakes.html and green tea latte http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2009/10/matcha-green-tea-latte.html

I love this recipe, which I also found a few weeks ago. I want to make the leaf shape but I'm still looking for the cookie cutter in those shapes. I definitely plan on serving leaf shaped cookies with a cup of tea once I find those cookie cutters. This recipe was a lot easier to work with compared to other matcha tea shortbread recipes I've found in the past. I made Christmas trees when I tried out the recipe http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2009/12/green-tea-shortbread-trees.html

filet!
