We've come up with a new rating system for things in the bay area and around. From the snapping of the seaweed whip, we've decided that 3 "whip-schaaaws" are pretty darn good, but 4 (not yet reached) would be the kind of thing you get on the phone and call home about.
We celebrated the New Year with a visit to the Shoreline Park Sanctuary to watch the sunset with the kids, and aborted trip to Trader Joe's (the lines were just too long), a couple too many desserts from the German bakery next door (crappy), and the very best Singaporian food (www.straitscafepaloalto.com) I've EVER EVER EVER had (got 3 "whip-schaaaws"). That makes two dinners in a row, because last night's Mexican was hands down the best Mexican I've ever had (www.paloaltosol.net, also 3 "whip-schaaaws"). Going to be hard to get skinny here.
One kid is asleep, one is about to be, and we've made it to 12:15 east coast time, and we are not going to get much further ... All tuckered out.One year down, another to go :)
