Good Day Sacramento, Napa and Ice Cream ...

My week started off with a cooking segment with the Executive Chef from The Meritage Resort and Spa on Good Day Sacramento. He showed and explained how to cook with Brussels Sprouts (too be honest I never really liked them until I started having them cooked correctly) ... since I was healthy for "breakfast" I ended up at Red Robin for a Tower of Onion Rings for dinner (p.s. ... they now have Happy Hour all day throughout the restaurant on weekdays). On Tuesday I drove to The Meritage for a lunch meeting ... flat bread and desserts to share and a calamari sandwich (with a side of Brussels Sprouts) for me. Wednesday I met with a friend from high school for an awesome dinner and a few beers at Kilt Pub. Friday I finished the a busy work week with a few Redbox movies and a Dungeness Crab .... on sale for $3.99 at Raley's (thanks for the tip mom!). If you ever need an excuse to spend an hour or two eating dinner ... buy a crab, not only is it tasty, but it's time consuming. Saturday I went to Bayside and had dessert for dinner at Leatherby's with friends ... Sunday I ran it off ... Monday I headed to Chick-Fil-A to use my 2014 Calendar Card for the first time and had a free chicken tortilla soup with a cookie sundae (good thing I ran again).

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...
