What Christmas Cookie Are You?

According to Martha Stewarts' Cookie Quiz...it tells me:

You are undoubtedly Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies.
You're warm, spicy, and multifaceted.

SEC Champs!


Going to the Beach in December...only in Florida

Friday night, we went over to Goo Ma's house for dinner of beef noodle soup (So great! Too bad it wasn't colder out though! Guess I can't complain about the weather though...see below)

After soup, we made a Publix run and stocked up on some haagen daaz. We then headed off to Hoffmans Chocolate Shoppes to check out their garden all lit up for Christmas.

Maybe its because I was younger, but I swore that place had more stuff when I was there before. Dah Jeh Jeh says Hoffmans was hit hard a few years back with one of the hurricanes and that they're rebuilding. I don't know... We walked through it in like 5 minutes. Then we headed inside to look at the chocolate shop. They have a pretty large candy making room, but there was no one there making any chocolate :( We did end up with some candy though. We waited in line and got 2 pieces of candy and instead of having to go to another line to pay, the candy lady let us have our Almond Jitterbug and our Chocolate Covered Apricot for free!

Here is a inflatable Christmas decoration from the garden:



The next morning, we all met up in Lake Worth for breakfast at TooJay's and then headed off to the beach for a morning stroll to walk off our food!

We walked along the beach and cooled off every now and then by walking in the water (it was HOT outside!!!) My mom collected some sea shells...twice! First time, she went to wash them in the ocean and the tide took them all back out to sea before she could fish them back! :(







Dinner with the Parents

We decided to go Pei Wei for dinner one night but on the way there, my mom decides to go to Buca di Beppo instead.

Once we sat down, we saw on the placemat that Buca celebrates your birthday (within 7 days) with cake and a $5 credit off your next visit.

My mom's birthday was 8 days ago...but our waiter let it slide :)

Apparently they make you stand on a chair while everyone in the immediate eating area helps sing to you.


After my mom got serenaded to, we got 2 slices of red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting :)

Christmas Season Beginnings

Thanksgiving's over...and it's on to Christmas! Well, for me...its just more like "It's VACATION time!!!"

I'm in between projects right now and that mean's I've been hanging out in West Palm since Thansgiving spending time with the family.


Picking out a Christmas tree at the Home Depot with Goo Ma and Dah Jeh Jeh.


Goo Ma is an almond cake making machine!


And of course a trip to Goo Ma's has to include food...and more food! (Home made wonton soup for lunch one day...yumm)
