    I’ve never heard of Sprout. Sounds good! I was at fraiche last night. :) Yum!!

    Our favorite sushi restaurant is in Santa Clara. It is called Sushi O’Sushi. They have lots of really creative delicious rolls.

    Good luck with everything! I went to my favorite sushi place last week and I think I’m going to pick up a sushi pack from Safeway one day for lunch this week. Also…I may be going to cheesecake factory this week as well so I’ll keep you posted! It’s between that and California Pizza Kitchen which I also love for this one amazing salad they have…

    That looks like a great plan!! I also love the brown bread at Cheesecake Factory – we always have to ask for more :) Never tried that salad, may have to give it a go next time. Good luck!

    Looks like a plan, Stan.

    I’m such a dork, I might just beat myself up and take my own lunch money.

    I can’t stand getting in food ruts! But ya know what, it happens to all of us! I think it’s a good thing when you have to say you are gonna try to eat out a little bit more. with most people it’s the other way around:)

    Looks like a great plan! I need to get to Fraiche (I’m in SF so it’s a bit of a trek just for frozen yogurt) because there’s nowhere in City to get soy frozen yogurt and I am seriously craving some!
