Paul Martin's and Farrell's Ice Cream

A few weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned on Facebook that the Paul Martin's Happy Hour menu included a $12 item. Normally that would be a lot, but when it includes a gourmet hamburger (I picked bacon, there are other options), fries and a beer, it's a good deal ... and was way better than my last hamburger. After feeling slightly guilty for eating that much and not running, I headed to the gym for a quick workout to at least burn off a few of the calories.

Last night was another highlight, I met my parents and a former co-worker at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, which opened last week in Sacramento, for a dinner, which solely consisted of ice cream. The wait for our party of four was about 30 minutes, not bad considering it just opened last week and the fact that it is so popular and the service was truly amazing. The new staff had lots of fun, knew the menu and delivered an excellent customer experience (and entertainment) throughout our visit. My Triple Chocolate Brownie Sundae, complete with Ghirardelli brownie, hot fudge and almonds and three scoops of ice cream (chocolate chip cookie dough, circus cookie and vanilla) was finished in no time ... I was hungry after eating nothing but salads for the previous few days.

Tonight I'm off to my parents house and I'm bringing a couple of my favorite Papa Murphy's deLITE pizzas (Chicken Bacon Artichoke and Heb Chicken Mediterranean).

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

Image
It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room...
