anaheim garden walk

dude... been down katella near disneyland lately? the anaheim garden walk is growing and growing!

i had dinner at roy's with the girls the other day and i couldn't believe how much stuff has opened up since the last time i was there. when it's all said and done, there will be tons of great places to eat, an IMAX, bowling, a vegas-style club... seriously, who knew?

anyway, if you have the chance to check it out, you should. new stuff is opening every day.

btw, roy's was awesome. i had the duck. it was perfect. check out the full menu HERE. so good!

bottle shock

i like wine, but i'm certainly not a an expert in the field. over the past few years, i've definitely taken more of an interest in learning about wine and the industry. my trip to napa with brooke and naomi helped to educate me (somewhat) about the california wine industry.

a few weeks ago, i went and saw the movie bottle shock with some friends. it's a true story about how the california wine industry made their mark in the world of wine making, by beating out the french in a blind taste test on their home turf, with their own judges. it was smart and funny, and offered a pretty true rendition of history.

i rarely make it out to the movies, but i'm glad i had the chance to see this. it's supposed to be pretty widely distributed, so if you see it at your local theatre, and you're looking for something that is a little deeper than your regular popcorn flick, give it a go.

OINK!

don't forget, the orange international street fair is on this weekend! and just so you don't go at the wrong time and miss out on the gluttony, here are the hours:

Friday, August 29, 2008 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Saturday, August 30, 2008 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Sunday, August 31, 2008 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m

.

i'm sure to gain at least 5 pounds by sunday. time to break out the stretchy pants.
