Top 5:

For the week of 3-7-11

5. In-n-Out burgers- I hadnt had the always tasty burgers of in-n-out in some time and it was great. Fries animal style.

4. finding diet big red @ walmart- my love of the soda big red goes back years. Whenever someone would visit Texas they would bring some for us. In the past few years I've seen it more in the bay area. It's harder to find the diet version but I wad lucky enough to get some.

3. borders going out of business sale- went to a random borders and got done cool stuff at a decent discount. The 75% off all holiday items was ESP cool as I got several Christmas CDs that I'm looking forward to hearing.

2. "Nowhere Boy"- this movie, about the life of young John Lennon ( played by kick ass' Aaron Johnson) was really good. An interesting film that held my attention from start to finish.

1. The 7 seas soup I had on Sunday whir visiting my uncle Bobby - shrimp ! Catfish! Scallops ! Crab ! Mussels ! Other sea food I'm forgetting !! All in one friggin delicious soup !! I love soup and I love seafood . And the combo was fastastic !!!!!!

So..that's it.

Top 5:

For the week of 2-28-11:

5. Smokin oakies on friday night- we went to dinner at smokin oakies on Friday and, in addition to some tasty food, there was live music that was pretty good.

4. "Flipped"- this was a Mel pick brought to you by netflix. She had read the book and thought the movie would be fun. I didn't expect much and I ended up thinking it wad great !! A simple story of boy-meets-girl with no stars in it. And I thought it was great. 7.5/10.

3. Boozing at spoontonic on  sat night with Melly , kc, Emilio ( a cameo by Liz leal ) and Zac !! - awesome people, great music and late night drunken video games with the boys !!! Fun fun night !

2. The food at Melanie's aunt Cheryl's house on Monday - fantastic food from some of my favorite chefs. I always leave a family party stuffed and dreaming of leftovers. For days.

1.  hamburger steak from the chick-n-coop - a taste of the neighborhood ( the excelsior district, in case you were wondering. And if you live there you know what I'm talking about !!), a taste of nostalga. I remember being in the 6th grade and my uncle picking me up from school and we would walk to get dinner for my mom and us at the chick-n-coop. And while the sandwiches and rice pudding is great it's the hamburger steak ( with mashers and gravy ) that was always my favorite. And it's still great as ever. 

So, that's it...
