Julip- PF Changs Rocks. :: Double Drool :: I just ate there recently. I LOVE their Cashew Chicken dish with the brown rice. Yummy. Follow that dinner up with some nice hot glazed Krispy Kremes and a Starbucks gingerbread latte, and I'll think I've died and gone straight to heaven.

OMG Jinksy, add PF Changs to the intervention/convention schedule. DH and I are there about every 2 weeks. It was one of our favorite places in San Diego (and also their little counterpart, Pei Wei) and we were so happy to find it just a few miles down the road from us here in VA. Mu shu pork, veg chow fun, and their pan fried veg dumplings are our favorites. Have you tried the banana spring rolls? mmmm....and yes, their brown rice is sooo good, like popcorn. mmmm...KKs and Starbucks gingerbread latte sounds like a match made in heaven. Did you hear that, Bonza? banana.spring.rolls.

OMG. banana.spring.rolls. Are they just totally yummy? I love all of the above menu suggestions! Since, Rosie - I'd be there if it weren't the Sunday before Christmas. So much to do including a party/open house in the afternoon. Thank you so much, but it has to be a raincheck for me.

Bonza - the banana spring rolls are to die for. Have you had them before? I haven't had them too often, because by the time we are done with dinner, there is no room! lol I pulled out the PF Changs menu a little while ago. That cashew chicken dish Jinksy likes is definitely on the next order, whether it be take out or dine in.

I'm here and trying to catch up on the thread, but I can't get past Coco having over $200 worth of Starbucks cards! Ya know, Coco... I'd be happy to accept Starbucks cards as payment because I'm going to spend the money there one way or the other! hee hee

Good lord, Joely - there must be something wrong with these children's parents... I'm sure this all starts at home!

Bonza - I was mortified! I mean I had to POINT THEM OUT! Hello? Can you not smell them? Push each other over to get to them... I mean, in my family, when it's KK involved, anything goes! Oh and Sea- you haven't had a KK donut, until you have had a hot glazed fresh from the oven! There's just no comparison to the ones you can buy KK at Albertsons. (..... the enabling continues!) oh btw...espresso hoodies came in again today! I posted it in the other thread already

Joely - you can never have these parents over - they are just not worth it! How could they not have gotten their children going on KK already? And I so totally agree about having a fresh in-store hot glazed. Sea, get yourself in the door - it is your civic duty! :-)

How could anyone not be completely drawn to a box of fresh hot glazed, just on the smell alone?? We have to drive by KKs just about every day - we have been known to make a wild last minute decision to get in whatever lane necessary when we see that "Hot Donuts Now' sign flashing ... or especially when that scent of fresh donuts wafts in the car about 2 seconds after we drive by. U-Turn! lol. I have to get me some of them Raisin Rum Balls. Talking about enabling the enabler. rofl

I need to order some tarts but not sure what to get since I haven't sampled very many. BUT.. thanks to our bestest enabler I got a fabulous deal on the porcelain cup thingies at Pier1.. $1.00 each to begin with and on sale!! I got eight (remember I have no freezer capability at the moment so I'm just stacking up containers (all of which still have "life" in them) I really should try the infamous BNB.. I don't like bananas but this doesn't mean I won't like the tart and the smell I wonder if she makes date nut bread?

We were thrilled when we first got KK here. People were lined up for miles at the first location. I remember DH bringing home a dozen for my BD one year. Then we got one really close to us - had to drive by it to my kids' school. We were all really excited and did a lot of fund raising w/them for school. I can only take a couple of the glazed ones - they're just too sweet for me and I like sweet, but w/donuts - I like the more plain kind - although the ones w/chocolate and creme in the middle, I make an exception for! Anyway, oddly enough, the KK right near us didn't do well and it CLOSED!! I was so surprised! There is still the original one near DHs work, though and some of the convenience stores sell them. I had one recently which was a different flavor than the glazed and I liked that.

OK. I am in the minority but I don't care for KK- too sweet and too gooey for me. My favorite donuts? Right there in Carlsbad Joely- VG's. The best! Back to work for me... and Sea? Call the electrician!!!!

Sea - woo hoo on stocking up on those ramekins...if it weren't for Joely, I would have completely forgotten that Pier 1 has those cute little white ones! She also mentioned Cost Plus, which I unfortunately do not live near anymore. Sometimes you do not have to wait till the used up wax is frozen to pop it out - if you take a blunt knife, you can sometimes get it to slide out after it hardens, but before having to freeze it. Lately, though, I've just been pouring it right into the lined trash can (usually over a paper towel ... it cools really quickly) then wipe it out right away, so that I can switch out the tart ASAP!

Julip - I like your idea about the silicone cups, but I have not gotten them yet.

Last week I ordered flowers to be delivered to a funeral home for my uncle’s funeral, they were never delivered. Yesterday I ordered same day delivery flowers very early in the morning to be delivered to my niece in Children’s Hospital where she will be spending the next week or two while recovering from a severe Crohn’s Disease flare up, they were delivered late this afternoon. These things happen and it would not have upset me so much except for the attitude of those I talked to regarding the situations, they just didn’t seem to care. Today I ordered a CC robe to be sent to my niece. Joely knew none of this yet she quickly responds to my order letting me know the color I had chosen was not immediately available and gave me the opportunity to change it. And with grace and efficiency during what must be her busiest time of the year the robe is on its way. Thank you Joely!

Bonza - if you can believe it, I have not tried the silicone cups yet either! I have my one set of them, but I am keeping those for actual baking, and one of these days soon, I am going to pick up a set of the brights for the tart ramekins (I have the pastels now). I am now enabling before I am even fully enabled! lol Kids - my deepest sympathy for the recent loss of your uncle, and best wishes for your niece's health - sorry to hear of the mess ups with the flower deliveries. Joely amazes me at how well she multi-tasks and keeps all of us customers happy! She is the best!

Good customer service along with a good product just can't be beat! I had a very good experience just yesterday. Had to call Blue Cross to get a couple claims corrected regarding my biopsy. I talk to the nicest, most helpful woman. I just plain enjoyed talking to her. I believe her when she said she would watch my account to see that things got processed correctly. Far as I'm concerned, my premiums go towards paying her salary.

I've been doing a lot of shopping recently, as we all have, and by far the best experiences of the season have been with Joely. Colord - how refreshing and downright comforting to find that Blue Cross rep. She's an angel.

And BTW - where have all the CC™ pet photos gone? Watching must have wrapped everything and taped the packages shut. So I'll share this afternoon's nap:
