Quisp totally ruled over Quake. Although Cap'n Crunch was my first love. My brother and I sent away for these oddly-shaped Cap'n Crunch bowls. His was red, mine was blue, and nothing in the world could induce me to ever, EVER, eat from that red bowl. Cooties, you know. Li'l brother would typically eat about 4 bowls of cereal a day, without milk. He tried everything on the market, but I don't think he's eaten cereal since college. Reached his quota, I guess!
I love Sam's!!! I've been going there for about 12 years now and never waited that long for service, but I've probably just been lucky because Louis has his hands full doing everything, as Adam noted. Not to mention taking time to tease the kids, chat with the regulars, etc. He runs the place the way he wants it, and doesn't pretend to suck up to customers who can't appreciate his singular charms. But put yourself in his hands and with the right attitude - knowing you'll get authentic personality along with awesome pizza - and you'll come away very, very happy, and looking forward to another visit. As far as their wine and beer selections - nothing special to write about, other than to say "yes, they have wine and beer!"
Mmm, these all sound delicious. I also like to cut chunks of tomatoes and cucumbers into tuna and stuff that into pita as a substitute for the usual tuna sandwich on bread.
Burger porn at its finest, and meant in the nicest possible way. Congrats on a great inaugural post. I'm so craving this burger right now!
I've made pesto with oregano and walnuts along with generous amounts of garlic and think it's just amazing.
Congrats! Here's a story my 12 year-old loves (she loves to hear about when I was pregnant). I had to make a deal with my pregnant tummy (which was kinda repulsed by coffee) and the rest of me (which really needed a little caffeine to wake up). If my tummy let me have a couple of sips every morning without nausea, the rest of me would wake up with such severely truncated caffeine levels. It seemed to work, and I have a great, healthy kid.
Don't get freaked out by unrealistic advice, enjoy cookies, and most of all, enjoy your pregnancy if at all possible. It looms very large (as do you, eventually) while it's happening, but in the scheme of your child's life, it's a mere blip.
And yeah, breastfeeding is great for burning calories!
I forgot all about Apple Jacks! loved em as a kid, but my fave was and is Grape Nuts. hot or cold its rocks ;)
Dude--check out the stash--a royal racing coach, a coloring book, and a nursery rhyme game can all be yours if you just get to the bottom of the boxes fast enough!
i highly recommend picking up a copy of Krazy Kid's Food by Dan Goodsell. it's one of those journal sized Taschen titles and filled with one fantastic image after another.
King Vitaman was great- somehow the name didn't sound like a sugar-bomb cereal so it was on the 'approved' list!
YIKES! King Vitaman looks like the scary Uncle you keep your kids away from.
I used to imagine that King Vitaman and Mother Nature from the Imperial Margarine commercials were involved in a passionate, tempestuous affair.
Oh sweet, sweet Quisp. How I loved thee. Several years back I'd order it online six boxes at a tiem and have it shipped...I wonder if I can still do that.
Kaboom was ALWAYS a fave, as was The King.
You can't beat breakfast with the king.
My three favorite things to eat in/on pita are: #1: cheese, #2: hummus, and #3: pizza (on top of the pita instead of high-calorie pizza dough). I've also substituted it instead of Naan sometimes when I've eaten Indian at home.
Enjoy!

Just moved in nearby and had our first visit to Sam's. It was hilarious. First the waiter asked us what we were doing there and told us they have terrible food. Multiple times he referred to Sam, who he called "Son of Sam", his father-in-law, the stooped old man who shuffled out from the kitchen at the end of our meal. He gave us his life story including how when he was dating his wife she left the country and he dated 11 of her best friends that summer.
He also told us that THE scene in the Godfather was filmed there - but not the part in the bathroom, that was filmed somewhere else.
Go for the stories and the scenery, not for the food. The crust on the pizza was great and salty, but we thought it was a little over-cheesed.
