Sunday Brunch
Posted on January 20, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink.
The Orbases visited us this weekend so we wanted to fix them a nice breakfast this morning. Our breakfast consisted of plain and Nutella-filled crescents (the Nutella ones were a big hit with the kiddos), scrambled eggs (Clayton wanted to help so we put him in charge of the eggs), hash browns, bacon strips, and steamed rice (a staple for any Filipino breakfast).
Here’s a closer look at Clayton’s scrambled eggs.
I usually prefer fried eggs to scrambled eggs, but these had great flavor.
Thank you to the Orbases for visiting us this weekend. Brian and I had a lot of fun and hope you did too. Please visit us again soon. We loved having all of you over. The kids were specially entertaining!

Great Harvest Bread Co is Truly Great
Posted on January 20, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Reviews.
Brian and I only had a limited amount of time after my Zumba class and before my waxing appointment so we decided to have lunch at Great Harvest rather than going all the way back home. We split the mile high panini sandwich. Though we hadn’t been there in ages, it’s the sandwich that we usually get there.
I must say, it’s just as good as I remembered. If you’ve never been to Great Harvest, I highly recommend checking it out. They make the best breads here in Wichita, hands down. Their cinnamon burst bread has always been my favorite. They also make deliciously cheesy garlic bread sticks. They give everyone free samples of their freshly baked breads and they also give you a free cookie on your first FourSquare check in. Those of you who have been to Great Harvest know that they have really awesome cookies, so that’s a FourSquare deal that is not to be missed.
If the amazing food isn’t enough to draw you in, then the friendly service should. The fine folks at Great Harvest are simply the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I give this restaurant an A++ because they are just plain super. Go ahead and check it out and tell them Ching sent you. 🙂

Kim’s Delicious Cinnamon Rolls
Posted on January 17, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Our friend Kim made the most delicious cinnamon rolls the other day and shared them with us. Brian and I go to enjoy these cinnamon rolls for a couple of days and I even had one after dinner yesterday. They were so yummy!
Brian and I are supposed to be on a diet, but this was an exception that I was happy to make. We are so blessed to have friends who make yummy foods. Now if I can only get her to make this but with chocolate chips in them. Hmmm…

Culver’s ButterBurgers and Frozen Yogurt
Posted on January 14, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
There was a Culver’s next to our hotel so I just had to try it. I walked over there with Malisa and Jennifer on the last day of class. The rest of the class tried it the day before and they were telling us about the cheese curds that you just had to try. They’re made with cheese from Wisconsin.
Carmen who ate there the day before wasn’t impressed with their butterburgers. She said it the hamburger patties didn’t have much flavor. Heeding her advice, I stayed away from the burgers and ordered chicken strips instead. I substituted my fries for cheese curds, of course. I also had a chocolate shake.
Everything was good, but not out of this world. I think we are spoiled by Freddy’s because they have such delicious burgers and hotdogs and concretes. Culver’s food was just ‘eh. The location is great though. It’s nice to be able to walk to the restaurant. So that’s always a plus. And the people are super friendly so they get an A+ for service. When they found out that we were from out of town and had never tried Culver’s before, they even offered us samples of their frozen yogurt. I couldn’t try it because of my braces, though. But it’s okay because I got a chocolate shake which is probably made from the same stuff anyway.
Give Culver’s a try if you’ve never been. It’s worth at least that.

Romano’s Macaroni Grill
Posted on January 13, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
Several folks from training class decided to go to Romano’s Macaroni Grill for dinner on Wednesday night. It was a nice opportunity to relax and visit with the other students. I learned so much, not just in training, but also from the other students. I learned about Tabata from Jennifer and nightly rituals like drinking a glass of champagne in the evening to celebrate the day and doing 20 push ups before bed.
Here are the obligatory food photos from that evening for your enjoyment.
The food was really good. A couple of people ordered appetizers to share with the table so I got to try the goat cheese stuffed peppadew peppers and Italian nachos. Both were yummy.
I had the chicken scaloppine. It was so good that I was tempted to finished it all. We used to have a Romano’s Macaroni Grill in Wichita, but it closed several years ago. There’s a Barnes & Noble there now. It’s been years since I’d been to the restaurant and I’d forgotten how good the food is. I wish they’d reopen a location in Wichita.
