Good Eats in Gilbert
Topic: Cuisine We have found another local favorite in our neck of the desert... Liberty Market. Its a restaurant that used to exist as a grocery-market in "downtown" Gilbert. I was able to snap this pic on my Dare phone as we were walking in this evening. Gotta love a place that has NO wait at 6 pm on weeknight. If you do stop by I highly recommned the triple layer Red Velvet Cake. Good thing Tuesday is a long run day for amy.

Word of the day...
Topic: Cuisine
Here is great recipe I found at foodnetwork for Roasted Red Pepper Dip:
In a food processor chop together- I like this dip with toasted french bread slices or pita chips. It's best served cold.

Elaine's replacement cake
Topic: Cuisine For all those Seinfeld fans.... In the FROGGER episode, Elaine replaced an antique collectible cake from the 1937 wedding of King Edward VIII that she had eaten with an Entenmann's cake. This cake tasted just as I imagined (wonderful!) when she was dancing around in circles in Peterman's office.

Cooking and Stax
Topic: Cuisine Date night Friday night was AWESOME. There were 4 couples, so it was a very nice size group to work with in the kitchen. We learned some new recipes, and already re-created one of the appetizers Saturday evening. Today we headed up to Scottsdale to do a little shopping (I needed shoes and jacket) For lunch we wanted to try a new bistro that just opened...STAX. They do gourmet slider burgers-- but they are much larger than we were expecting. We sampled: beef, ostrich, buffalo, lamb, and turkey- along with onion rings... yummmm. Our faves were the buffalo and lamb. I tried to snag a pic in mid-meal.

Yep, chocolate gum.
Topic: Cuisine I couldn't resist picking this up while in line at Target-- imagine the best of both worlds... chocolate and gum... keep on dreaming, this combo i give a big thumbs down, and insult to injury... it doesn't blow good bubbles!-- Has anyone else tried this, could i have just gotten the factory defect?

Our anniversary, killer gold fish, and jelly rats.
Topic: Cuisine Yesterday was Mr. Mark and my 7 year wedding anniversary. We decided to save the money from the fancy meal, and go shopping instead. We hit J.Crew today and got some great "cold weather" clothes for the fall. I couldn't resist these boxers either, love to lounge around the house on the weekend in COMFY boxers... killer goldfish with little shark fin tied on. (que up the JAWS music please)
Today's shopping adventure started this morning with Sunday breakfast at IKEA-- cant beat that Big Swede Breakfast! We roamed the store and picked up a few things-- one of my unique finds... Jelly RATS.
let's take a closer look at the rats...
only at IKEA! I wonder what people in Sweden think of our gummy worms? lol.

"I loves me some green tea"
Topic: Cuisine Yummmmmmmmm-- green tea is the best! So when I saw these at the cash register while doing my quick run to AJ's grocery on Saturday, I had to pick up a few bags-- let's all say "impulse buy"! They are quite yummy and have a faint spiced peach flavor to compliment the green tea flavor. Here is where you can find them online-
