Wow! I'm jealous of all the great food, especially the Chic Fil A :).

Horray for Ivanhoe's with friends!
Have you gotten any comments about their extensive menu that you "borrowed"?

Man, I looks like all we eat in the USA is junk food!! ha! But that looks delish! I miss Ivanhoe's for sure! And I might need to get your mom's recipe for coffee cake and Jen's cheesy salsa recipe! They are both excellent cooks, and that looks yummy!

As an American living in the Australia, I miss many of the things you posted here. Kraft Mac & Cheese just isn't the same here! :(

I am glad that you guys share my passion for food. Yes i over indulged, but it was well worth it and the exercise to follow!

Wow... I can't believe how ubiquitous junk food is in the USA. Do they ever cook anything, or buy anything that isn't processed, packaged and branded?
