someone might be listening.. somewhere out there.
so i went to liberty's randomly on friday, feb 1st because it was a new month & their flavor calendar wasn't listed on their website (plus i was on the way back from the lib). i knew pumpkin cheesecake, eggnog, and SF banana all had a chance of being in the freezer.
what i did NOT know.. is that vicki (owner) had read my emails & postings on chowhound so vigilantly. so.. perusing the cooler, trying to pick which 2/ 3 i should get, i look @ the board. well, well.. it's BIRTHDAY CAKE.. with that, i drop the pints... and nearly pass out. vicki says 'what's wrong?'.. i mouth 'that's my favorite' .. to which she replies 'are you reann?' ..
anywho. we talk for a while, she is lovely, shows me the menu for the month. feb 1: birthday cake, feb 2: cinnamon roll "for ReAnn" .. verbatim. i am almost crying i'm laughing so hard. what a lovely lady.
i order birthday cake kid size (i am NOT hungry at ALllllllllll), which she gives me for free.
i am so trying to hold it back from jon because i wanted to suprise him w.cinnamon roll on saturday, but we were quite booked up with our plans, so i had to bust out my menu. he freaked, too. quite fun.
we went the next day & got a medium.. again, not hungry.. so brought it home. ate it w.green tea cake in engage-a-versary style.
sunday jon was in WI, so i went to get the leftover pints. ended up with quarts of birthday cake & cinnamon roll. i have spent $13 on worse things.
colassal cafe: feb 2, 2008
it was a solid engage-a-versary pick. next brunch.. the independent? or lucia's..?
apple/brie/walnut pancake - okay.. this was awesome. i might get it again, or at least figure out how to make a yeasty pancake. my only trouble is that i'm not in love with brie nor walnuts. maybe they'll make me a pancake with apples and whatever the heck honey syrup they put on top. yum.
mole/chorizo/egg/bean/potato burrito thingy. the inside of this was awesome. i wanted to love it so much.. thing is, i don't really love red mole sauce. it was good, but i don't love it. i liked the parts w.out mole better. good salsa?!
good coffee.. really, it was nice tasting. they even gave me skim.
randomly sampled: trader joe's wintery blend coffee is good. jamaican blue mtn coffee that "everyone loves" at whole foods.. notsomuch.
