Here are some of the yummies we’ve had this week. On a lazy Sunday we tried the new Amanda’s – a healthy alternative to McDonald’s – complete with yummy burgers (patties made of mushroom and walnuts, quite unique and not nutty) and sweet potato fries. Then we went to Tara’s, a strategically-located ice cream joint on ICI-crazed College Ave. Elephant quite liked the selection of non-sweet flavors — Basil, lemongrass, garam masala! Later in the week, while I tried LIMETREE on Irving — roti and Singaporean noodles (maybe try the chili crab next time?) — Elephant gorged himself with a mini quesadilla in San Leandro, for an entirely different reason.

While Hippo scrambles to make some of super secret special chicken wings in time for her friend’s birthday bash, we thought we’d throw up our blog’s first weekly mashup. Ok, ok, so it was supposed to be the Friday mashup, but I’m sick and she’s busy, ok?

Every week (maybe often on Fridays!), we’ll bring you a mashup of the week’s oddities, delicacies, splurges and/or disasters, all in picturesque form. Here goes!

This week seemed full of exhorbitantly-priced goods!
