LOL! When my mom comes to visit and we want to go out to eat, it's tough to find a restaurant, because she really doesn't care for most ethnic foods. Walnut Creek, of course, has a lot of really good restaurants, but she wants pretty basic plain stuff. I think we took her out to Hungry Hunter last time she was here. Otherwise, I just cook here at home.
Cooking at home's a good thing these days. Our mignons are marinating, the cherry tomatoes are chilling, and the ciabatta bread is awaiting its fate in the toaster oven this evening.
