Meeting....or Eating?

My team had a meeting last Thursday.. it so happened that we were also famished, so my superior suggested that we have a 'dinner' meeting. Good idea! We headed off to Racks in El Pueblo. Actually, we thought of going to Shakey's but changed our minds when we saw Racks ^^

 

 I got the classic pork with mac & cheese... very unhealthy :)

When we got there, few people were dining, some also in a meeting of different kinds; business, reunion or what have you. Luckily, we were able to finish ours before the place got jam packed and noisy.

Cafe Breton

Last Wednesday, I had to do errands with my sister. Before going home, we decided to have dinner in one of our favorite restaurants... Cafe Breton. I like this place not only because of the wonderful crepes, but also because it's a spot where normal mealtimes can extend to long hours of conversation and bonding with friends and family.  The interior is simply warm, pleasant and comfortable. The music complements the mood of the place as well. When we were there..they were playing Christmas ballads, and my sister and I couldn't help but look forward to our holiday celebration.

When I crave for crepes... I hit this place

Deja Vu - one of the best selling desserts... sinful, i know :) On top of the crepes, we also had Breton Mozarella Burger...

 

Dinner's on my sister, coffee should've been mine, but we were too full, so we agreed to leave it for next time.

A World Without Chocolates

Chocolates..Chocolates.. Can you imagine a world without it?

For a girl who’s lived most of her life with what seemed like an endless supply of chocolates, she definitely cannot. A week or two without the stuff is no doubt a torture. Yap! That’s how I felt when my doctor diagnosed me to have an acute gastritis and acute gastrointestinal whatever. One by one, she listed the “NO-NO!” fares for me. Thus, fatty foods, sodas, milk, yadda..yadda..yadda… chocolates……WHAT???!!!!!!!! Yup, I heard it right. No chocolates for a while, at least until we’re sure that I don’t have a gaping hole in my stomach.

I said to myself: I can do it! Better to have a 0%-chocolate in the body than have a slimy tube down my throat.

Guess what.. not a week later, I’m looking for any excuse to get my hands on the sinful stuff. Chocolate drinks?..chocolate flavored chips?.. Candies?..Flat tops? Anything! But the world seemed to conspire against me.. my friends won’t let me near the stuff, all the chocolates in my house found a good hiding place.. and I’m left with my pitiful craving.

What an empty world without chocolates. Truly a tragedy. But hey! Just three more days and my woeful state is over…Yahoo!!! I can go binge, ok, maybe not binge..indulge is a more diplomatic term.. I can go indulge on chocolates again. Can’t wait!!
