tried Clover coffee. I'll never be the same


i was going to wait and tell you about The Good Cherry later but i just couldn't wait. Kim and i made won-tons today but instead of having 2 food posts back to back.. i'm starting to look like a food psycho! I am dying to tell you about this new place i found. I got the invite on face book for the Paul Brunett gig at The Good Cherry but didn't get a chance to go. Brian then tells me after talking to someone that went that they roast their own coffee beans and their hot chocolate is real chocolate with chili powder. Just like Chocolat the movie!

This morning Lucy and i stopped in to try a cup. She explained that they have this Clover coffee brewer that is a mix of the french press taste and the vacuum brewer. So i try some of their Sumatra. OH MY GOSH! i can't remember having such a great cup of coffee. I am so impressed. The place was amazing too. this is the picture on their site. there is even a little area with toys, so Lucy was perfectly content while i drank my cupa coffee. if you like coffee you must go and try some. promise me you won't get a to-go cup at least the for the first time. it's totally worth it! i'm already planning how to go out of my way up to forest just to get some more. yum!

Way to start my week



You know you are pregnant when you are dreaming of what you will make for breakfast before you get out of bed! I was thisclose to just going to McDonalds for my favorite bacon, egg & cheese when i remembered we had 2 slices of bread left - that is if brian did't make a PB&J before he left for work. I had one slice of American cheese left which i have recently discovered is the best for making a kickin' grilled cheese. When i was pregnant with Luce i lived on those things!

So i'm dragging my self out of bed already planning on being mad at poor Brian if he used the last of "my" bread. Yea right, like he doesn't pay for every stinking thing i eat!! sheeesh! how does he live with me??!! and taking Lucy in her Pjs to Micky D's for that bagel! It is just nuts how insane i get when i get an idea or craving i've just got to have it! Yesterday i'm craving cream cheese won-tons again. Brian's like, "babe, didn't you just have some yesterday? maybe we should make it an every other day thing.." Bless his ever loving heart he wants a healthy wife and baby so bad! ok- fine! could be worse, he could ground me from my won-tons all together if he wanted. it's his baby too! You know it's bad when the asian girl in yoga class makes you think about your won-tons! sheesh!! "..mm, look at her, wonder if she works at a chinese place around here.. wonder how much their won-tons run.. wonder if she hates them by now.." i know i'm retarded!

As i arrive to the fridge.. ta da! the bread is still there, along with one of his green smoothies for me. I am so thankful for that man and the way he cares for me. Yay i can make my own bacon, egg and cheese. I even made my eggs shaped like my bread. (thought of that in bed) obsessive i know! But it was soo delicious especially after i added some tomato. YUM! Had some of my French coffee, my in-laws brought me, to go with my breakfast. Some water with my tin cup for my vitamins and Juice Plus.

Mean while i'm watching this! i thought this day would never come!! seriously, what a way to start my week.. love this kid!



While i was getting ready for church yesterday, daddy & Lucy were playing a little Harry Potter. love that grin! have a great week!
