Goofy Photos

I took these photos of Breezy after our ride this morning. He was so funny. He didn't care at all that I put the hat on him. He just kept staring at me laughing at him. The pics still make me laugh even now as I am posting them.


Enjoy.....

Restaurants

My aunt Ellen at http://happywonderer.wordpress.com/ at just tagged me for a dining out meme. I also love to eat out, but that actually means that this will be difficult for me.

Here are the rules:
1. Link to name of person that tagged you.
2. Include state and country you live in.
3. List top 5 favorite local restaurants.
4. Tag 5 other people and let them know they’ve been tagged.
(Also pictures are not required at all.)

I live in Mission Viejo (South Orange County) in California.



1. PF Chang's
This is our favorite spot for go when we are celebrating something. I love the Crispy Honey Chicken!!!


2. Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ
We have just discovered this place and absolutely love it!!! It has a southern rustic feel and has live music on the weekends. Their BBQ is absolutely amazing! The only problem is that they don't take reservations so plan on waiting for at least 30 minutes to be seated.

3. Lakeside Chinese Cuisine
This is a little restaurant near our house that we just love. The food is good and it is always quiet. We never have to wait to be seated and even if it takes a couple minutes we don't even notice since that have a gorgeous fish tank near the entrance. I always get the Egg Flower Soup & Lemon Chicken. Then they have these wonderful Caramelized Apple Bites for dessert.



4. JoJo's Pizza
Dave and I love pizza & this is our favorite place to get it! They also have a great artichoke appetizer.



5. Julienne's
This restaurant is actually an hour away, but it is simply the best place to go for breakfast. And I do mean the BEST! They have a very unique menu and just about everything on it is fantastic. And I don't know what they do to their hot chocolate, but I can't help but moan "mmmmm" while I drink it.

This challenge proved to difficult for me and simply must include at 6th.

6. The Old Spaghetti Factory
This restaurant is very special to Dave and I as we have many wonderful memories and mile stones associated with it. AND I love the food!!! My favorite dish is the Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra. We just don't seem to go there very often because it is in Newport Beach, parking is a pain and there is usually quite a long wait. But, I just can't have a list of favorite restaurants not not include this one.

I will be skipping the last part about tagging other people. But, if anyone reads this and decides to participate, please let me know with a comment.

If you can’t think of anything, skip it. Try to use different answers if the person before you had the same 1st initial. You CAN’T use your name for the boy/girl name question.
