Have you ever made churros at home? They are the most dangerously delicious dessert in existence. Seriously, they will burn you with their hot oil explosions. Satisfied: Churros with Cinnamon Orange Chocolate Sauce and a dire churro warning from Vanilla Garlic.

  • Me: Yeah, I'm just a little proud that I made a 99 cent bag of Crunchy Cheetos last 3 days.
  • Hranilovich: Amazing on the Cheetos.
  • Me: The corn inside makes me feel sort of ill. I prefer the tiny ones with a high surface to interior ratio.

Meat, it’s what’s for breakfast

Joanie’s Cafe on Palo Alto’s California Avenue is my go-to breakfast joint. At most restaurants I prefer to sit at the counter for the best service. At Joanie’s you’ll always have a full cup of coffee no matter where you sit.

The 2-egg breakfast specials include the following choices:

  • Egg Style
  • Fruit, Hash Browns, or Home Fries
  • Bread Type
  • No Meat or Meat Style

The meat option is the only one that costs more, so when my husband orders the two egg, scrambled, fruit, sausage and muffin and I order the two egg, scrambled, wheat toast, the server turns to me and, raises his eyebrows and asks “No meat?” and I respond “No meat,” delighting in his verbal economy.

When I eat at new restaurants (and by new I mean recently opened) I almost never see or hear the sorts of systems that make Joanie’s so well run. I’d love to spend a year immersing myself in a variety of restaurants, seeing how they work, learning their systems, and then become a new sort of usability expert, one that can make restaurants’ websites and systems better.

The pizza delivery company wrote the ingredients on the side of each box. Thanks pizza company, for making so I didn’t accidentally open a box of olive-based disappointment.
