Holiday Double Play Blog Candy

 

Hey, you came back!! :-)  I wanted to do something to kick off this holiday weekend!!  I plan on doing some crafting but we had planned to be away for the weekend which did not work out.  No worries, I have plenty to do here, but since I am going to be home I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to put Double Play up again.  That and a whole afternoon of watching Hoarders last Sunday have catapulted me into some purging action in the studio and hopefully a small course correction in my habits.  As I’ve been reorganizing it’s amazing how many of the same things I tend to buy.  Your gain!!  Well everything in the blog candy is new, I just had too many.   I just added the Spellbinders and the bonus EK Success punch to make it a nice prize. 

So if this is your first time playing double play, here’s how it works.  The above blog candy is up for grabs.  You can leave a comment on my blog, on this post, once a day until the end of the candy on Monday night at 11:00pm (CST), May 31st.  In your comment tell me, if someone’s treating you to your favorite dinner out, where do you want to go?  Once the candy ends, I’ll have random.org pick a number that I’ll match to a comment number and that’s the winner.  (By the way, please don’t put a web address in the text of your comment, not even the spelled out ones – it gets dumped into the spam bin and I get so many that I rarely pick through them.)  The winner has 48 hours to reach out to me through my contact page which can be accessed on the top menu portion of my blog.  All I need is for the winner to tell me they want the prize and give me a mailing address to send it to.

 

Bonus winning ;-)


Punch is Large – roughly size of hand

Punched out area is 2.25" wide and 1.5" tall

Keep reading to see how to win this too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s where the "double" part comes in. I’ll have a "Word of the Day" that will be posted in the box below two times per day for the duration of the blog candy.  The morning word will go up right after 12 o’clock midnight (CST), then it will be erased and a new word put in its place right after 12 o’clock noon (CST).  Pop in quick to visit this main blog candy post and write the word down.  (Don’t put the words in your comment!!)  Collect the words this week, there will be a total of 8 and if your name is picked for the blog candy and you can give me the 8 words when you claim your candy – you get the punch too.  If the blog candy winner doesn’t have all the words to win the bonus punch, the next name I draw will have a chance.   I’ll keep drawing until we have a winner.   Better grab the words and keep them to yourself just in case!!   The last time I did this the main blog candy winner did not win the punch.  Yay, there were two winners.

  

WORD OF THE DAY
here
This is the last word.

 

Have a great holiday weekend with friends and family.  Please be sure to take a moment to say a prayer in remembrance of those who have died in our nation’s service.  Above all if you are traveling, be safe my friends!!

    Hi, Becca! Happy Memorial Day weekend. I’ll be staying home with hubby this weekend too, but may get to have a friend whose plans cancelled come by one day to craft with me! ;~)
    If I were going out to be treated to dinner, I’d LOVE to go to Outback Steakhouse and I’d really enjoy a frozen Margarita with my filet and veggies! Hope you get to have a nice dinner out this weekend!ReplyCancel

  • NancyMay 28, 2010 - 12:13 am

    Thanks, Becca, for the chance to win these goodies.You are sooooo generous.
    I have multiple food allergies so I prefer to eat at home-It is safer that way!ReplyCancel

  • Susan GMay 28, 2010 - 12:19 am

    Staying home is always better on holiday weekends as far as I’m concerned. Much safer! We rarely go out to eat so anywhere is a treat. For my birthday this month we went to a local place called the Fish City Grill. The food was good and we’ll go back. We have so many new restaurants in our area that we are trying them one at a time.ReplyCancel

  • CarolMay 28, 2010 - 12:20 am

    Hi Becca! I recently became a Follower after seeing your amazing projects! How generous of you to offer the blog candy!

    If I were being treated out to dinner, I would be happy to go wherever that person desired. If I were asked to pick a place, I would choose either Outback Steakhouse or The Olive Garden (and that unlimited salad!!!).

    Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! God bless!ReplyCancel

  • ShirleyMay 28, 2010 - 12:20 am

    Sorry your plans did not work out. Maybe another weekend soon, it will.
    I would want to go to Texas Road house if someone were taking me out to eat. The food there is always yummy. Thanks for sharing your stash.ReplyCancel

    Becca…I look forward to your blog each day just to see your creations, the blog candy is such an added bonus! I look forward to ‘family’ gatherings. We have a variety of places we choose, I love the ‘Olive Garden’. But, I love trying new places also. Have a wonder, safe and blessed holiday!ReplyCancel

  • LuAnn in AZ.May 28, 2010 - 12:25 am

    I go out to a wonderful local restaurant called Crackers with my girlfriends every few months. All of our birthdays come on a quarterly basis and it’s a great excuse to get together with old friends.Crackers serves many homemade soups and desserts. We hardly ever get dessert ’cause we fill up on the great food. Have a really great weekend Becca and thanks for your generosity. We are so blessed to be Americans and so glad for those whose sacrifice has brought us our continued freedom. God bless America… and those who serve in our military!ReplyCancel

  • LorettaMay 28, 2010 - 12:26 am

    Thanks for the chance to win. I would love to go to Olive Garden sometime. I live in a remote area.ReplyCancel

  • KarenMay 28, 2010 - 12:27 am

    Becca…If someone is taking me out to eat, I want to go somewhere I can get a good filet and a glass or two of chardonnay. Hopefully, the restaurant isn’t too loud so we can enjoy the conversation.ReplyCancel

  • ColoradoMay 28, 2010 - 12:28 am

    Hi Becca! Our favorite restaurant is up in Denver and it’s called Claim Jumper. (They are a chain out of California) They have such great food, but what really made them my husband’s and my favorite restaurant is because they have the absolute best chocolate cake we’ve ever found in a restaurant. We are chocoholics and they have a gigantic 6 layer cake that is out of this world. We always get a piece to bring home and it is so big and rich and wonderful that the one slice makes 6 servings… so it lasts us for 3 days!ReplyCancel

  • CindyMay 28, 2010 - 12:31 am

    Hi Becca – I’m so easy when it comes to eating out; for me it more about the company than the food. But if I had to choose, I guess I’d say Turtle Bay (it’s Fresh Mex). I always get the same thing – one salmon and one steak taco. No sides. Just the taco – real tacos, fresh salsa, cabbage, corn tortillas. YUMMY. I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Being an Army Brat, this is a very special holiday weekend, and I’m always happy when people acknowledge it for what it is. Thanks!ReplyCancel

  • LindaMay 28, 2010 - 12:34 am

    Becca — May you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

    I love to go to the Melting Pot restaurant — it is so yummy. I love all the courses, but dessert is just fantastic — dipping pieces of cheesecake, fruit, and other goodies into chocolate. It’s heaven!!

    I associate going to the Melting Pot with my daughter, as she and her husband have taken us there on several occasions. They took us there to announce their engagement. Daughter now lives in Taiwan (her hubby transferred there for work), so lots of nice memories associated with this restaurant.ReplyCancel

  • LizetteMay 28, 2010 - 12:34 am

    Hi Becca
    Thank you for another fabulous blog candy. I am sure someone will be extremely happy to win!
    We have a German restaurant here in United Arab Emirates and they serve PORK! Being a Muslim country, pork is not that freely available. I love going there and that is my favourite restaurant it is called The Brauhaus, it is located in a hotel. It was soooo funny when they dicovered “swine flue”, all pork products were stopped in the UAE and this restaurant was forced to close for a while. Thank goodness it is open again.
    Hugs LizetteReplyCancel

  • KaiaMay 28, 2010 - 12:36 am

    One of my favorite places to eat when I’m visiting in the US is Mongolian barbeque. It’s really nice to be able to set up your own meal, and even their desserts are awesome. So I’d love to go there for dinner :)ReplyCancel

  • Amanda de JMay 28, 2010 - 12:37 am

    Hi Becca, I missed the last candy you had – boo-hoo! Thanks for a second chance.
    When we are in the city we go to Ocean Basket for the yummiest seafood you can imagine.
    Have a wonderful long weekend. Can’t wait to see all that you are going to be creating.

Keep up the fantastic work Becca – your designs are really inspiring.

    Take care all

  • Bonnie RabonMay 28, 2010 - 12:46 am

    Becca, I just want to say thank you for being so kind and giving. Now for the restaurant, well this may sound funny, but its a local cafeteria. They serve the best Veal Parmesan. I craved it when I was pregnant, lol. Its not fancy, but mighty tasty, hehehe.ReplyCancel

  • FreidaMay 28, 2010 - 12:47 am

    Oh Becca, your generosity is never-ending! Thanks so much for another fabulous giveaway! When I go out to dinner, I always love the food and atmosphere at our Park Heights! In fact, we celebrated my son’s high school graduation there tonight! How wonderful it was to be with family and friends for such a special occasion.ReplyCancel

  • Debi MillerMay 28, 2010 - 12:48 am

    I plan on visiting my mother’s, both sets of grandparents and my girlfriends mother’s graves on Monday. Before that I am doing my own housekeeping and getting ready for surgery on Thursday to have a new titanium disc put in my neck. This is a new procedure and I sure hope it goes well. It’s my second neck surgery and I’m looking forward to having a great reduction in pain. I hope my husband will make some great BBQ, but we’ve had such rainy cold weather lately it may not be a good idea. Although, it may also make us feel a little more like spring. We can only hope! I’m glad I have another chance for such awesome blog candy. Thanks Becca…have a terrific weekend with your hubby.ReplyCancel

    I wish I could collect the words, but my daughter is getting married this weekend, and I plan to collapse when the festivities are done! But, if someone were taking me out for dinner, I would choose either Red Robin or Basil (a local, I believe, Italian restaurant). But as long as the company is good, I would go practically anywhere.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, and thanks again for sharing your talent and these great gifts with us.
    As for a dinner out, right now, I’d love to go anywhere my sweet daughter wanted to go. She just had 4 wisdom teeth cut out, so, bless her heart, she can’t eat much right now. She loves Chicken and Dumplings from Cracker Barrel, so her dad and I will take her there as soon as she feels up to being “seen in public” with her swelled cheeks! Once she’s fully recovered, we’ll take her out for her favorite steak!

    I hope you and your family have a great holiday weekend!

    Hi Becca, I prefer to cook at home. However, we have a restaurant/bakery here called “Bakers Square” and they make the best pies I have ever tasted. I would love it if my dinner companion brought a ” Chocolate French Silk ” pie from “Bakers Square” for dessert . I can almost taste it as I type this LOLReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, I can’t believe you are giving away more blog candy! I love a nice Italian restaurant. However any restaurant will do because we live in country South Australia where there are only hotels (pubs) nearby and they all do the same meals – schnitzel, steak etc.ReplyCancel

  • RosemaryMay 28, 2010 - 1:41 am

    Thank you so much for another opportunity at some great blog candy!! What an awesome prize!! I love to go to Carrabas Italian in Tulsa, OK. I love the Marsala Steak and most of their chicken dishes. The creme brûlée is one of the best my husband and I have ever had. We love the service there and the owners have always been fabulous. I don’t live in Tulsa anymore, but when we go there to visit family we usually eat there at least once before heading home.ReplyCancel

    Hello! I am not going to tell you about eating out, but how people in Norway and the rest of Europe is “eating in” this weekend. Tomorrow, Saturday 29th is the big music happening in Europe! We arrange Melody Grand Prix/Eurvision Song Contest.
    Last year we won!!! and we are of course the hosts of this event tomorrow. (Oslo, Norway)
    Almost all young people are planning parties, and have bought champagne and planned good food, and gold dresses etc. is a big deal these days.
    And it is fun that people come together and celebrate this music contest, eat and drink, sing karaoke, and have a good time together with the European artists on the TV screen.ReplyCancel

  • Linda S. in NEMay 28, 2010 - 2:45 am

    My favorite restaurant is a local one here in Omaha called Farm House Cafe. They have a dish with grilled Roma tomatoes, served with a delicious sauce, and then arranged in a bowl of handmade, fried, yes, I did say fried, tortillias. The food is yummy, but what is so unique is that the restaurant is actually connected to one of the best and biggest craft stores in the area. Nothing better than having a full tummy and then shopping in the scrapbook section. Life is Good!! And, Thanks to all the Military personnel who keep it that way!! Linda S. in NEReplyCancel

    Enjoy your nice long weekend with all the comforts of home! :o) It’s actually not always a bad thing to be out of the crazy traffic and know where you are when you wake up!

    Which brings me to the answer to your question…I like having dinner at home. I know it’s not fancy and yes I have to cook it myself, but I have food allergies and knowing first, that what I eat isn’t going to make me have a reaction is a good thing, and second, who else is going to prepare food for me and my family with as much care and love as I would. I love cooking and seeing peoples faces when I set a plate of food down in front of them!
    So if they want to treat me to a dinner out, come into my kitchen and pull up a stool! BTW, if you ever travel to my hometown, you’re welcome to come join us too! :D

    Thanks for sharing!!! :o)ReplyCancel

    I am in awe every time I look at your work. You are truly one of the most talented people I know of.
    If I were being treated to dinner out, I would like to go to a small family owned hamburger shop- Melvin’s. They have a very limited menu – burgers or hot dogs. And they are wonderful!!!!! The prices are great and everyone that works there is friendly. What more could you ask for?

    Enjoy your weekend.ReplyCancel

  • michelleMay 28, 2010 - 5:51 am

    hi becca…
    youve got me thinking..
    a fave place to eat out is usually a place that has wonderful fresh seafood/shellfish…mainly because i dont make this at home..(my daughter is allergic..and my fiance isnt a huge fan of seafood.)…I’m always happy having scallops…clams..shrimp.. lobster… calamari etc…
    living on an island surrounded by an ocean and bay makes it easy to find great seafood places!ReplyCancel

  • Vicki SopcakMay 28, 2010 - 5:57 am

    My favorite restaurant would be The Cheescake Factory because they have a good variety of foods on their menu. If you can’t find something you like there, then you are just way too picky!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win.ReplyCancel

  • Lisa MillerMay 28, 2010 - 5:58 am

    I love a place called the Food Shack. The food is fantastic, mostly fish, seafood & stuff. It is expensive enough though that we can only go on special occasions like birthdays & anniversaries.

    PS. I love your blog!ReplyCancel

  • CathyMay 28, 2010 - 6:02 am

    This weekend is my wedding anniversary, so we always go to dinner for that. Our favorite place called Felix’s just closed down (we are bummed), so I think we’ll go to a place called Stumpknockers.ReplyCancel

  • HeatherMay 28, 2010 - 6:03 am

    I totally enjoy a dinner out to Red Lobster. Maine lobster tail is my ultimate treat! Happy Memorial Day weekend … my DH is active Army so we will be celebrating him as well as all the military fallen, retired and still serving :)ReplyCancel

  • JudieMay 28, 2010 - 6:03 am

    I LOVE that show Hoarders. It inspires me to purge my unneeded stuff because I tend to not like to throw anything away. I’m at just the ‘packrat’ stage as they say.

    The first restaurant on my list that I’d eat out at would probably be Red Lobster. I do love seafood.

    Good luck to everyone!ReplyCancel

  • StephanieMay 28, 2010 - 6:13 am

    If I could go anywhere, I think I would like to do something outside the box. My choice would be the French Laundry on the West Coast. Apparently, their food is fantastic and is somewhere we would never go on our own. Have a great holiday and thanks for the chance to win goodies.ReplyCancel

  • NolaMay 28, 2010 - 6:26 am

    Well, our weekend is starting out with a bang. We aren’t going anywhere special for the weekend, but we have something going on everyday (and then some). My husband and I just enjoy eating. (I guess you could say we are on the seefood diet – We see food and we eat it! – but we do diet in between weekends it seems.)

    Friday night is starting out with friends coming over for hamburgers and polish lobster (marinated chicken) on the grill. Should be a nice evening out on the patio as the weather seems to be cooperating.

    Enjoy your holiday and thanks for the blog candy opportunity.ReplyCancel

  • LindaMay 28, 2010 - 6:27 am

    We go out so seldom, it is always a treat. The last time we went out we went to Mimi’s. They have just the right size- not too much. And the deserts are to die for. The food and atmosphere is always great. Plus we went with friends that we don’t get to see often.ReplyCancel

  • PollyMay 28, 2010 - 6:29 am

    I would love to be treated to a meal at The Jolly Pumpkin on Peninsula Dr., in Traverse City, MI. They have wonderful Artisan Pizza and incredible homemade chips. We found a new wine there – Late Harvest Riesling – delightful Michigan wine. Eating there would mean that we are visiting Traverse City – one of our favorite cities to experience.ReplyCancel

    Your work is beautiful and you have a very nice website!

    Hmm, dinner. Well, last night my daughter was having dinner at a friend’s house so my husband & I went to an Australian-themed grill (really a diner) and had gyros. Nothing fancy but I didn’t have to worry about what to make, so I was happy!ReplyCancel

  • Trudy OliverMay 28, 2010 - 6:56 am

    Any place I can get good food and not have to cook is fine with me. And if someone else is paying that is even better. I have several places I like to eat depending on what type of food I want to eat. Longhorn Steakhouse is the place for a good steak and we just got a gift card for our Anniversary. Love the Olive Garden Soup and Salad lunches and got a gift card for there too. Life is good.ReplyCancel

  • Cindy MMay 28, 2010 - 6:57 am

    Have a wonderful Memorial weekend, and may the Lord bless all of those serving in the armed services.ReplyCancel

  • Joyce MMay 28, 2010 - 7:05 am

    When my husband, son and I go out for a special dinner, we go to a local steakhouse/supper club kind of place. It’s like a hidden treasure. Most times, if a restaurant is good, it is packed with people. For some reason this place is generally pretty empty. The food is awesome, the service is excellant, makes us feel special to have the place to ourselves, without feeling rushed.ReplyCancel

My daughter and hubby and granddaughter will come in Sunday or Monday for a picnic, but that’s about it. Most of my friends have taken off on trips, so it’s just hubby and me.

  • Kelly MassmanMay 28, 2010 - 7:19 am

    Well, I’m going to try really hard to get all of the words this time! :-)

    as our family grew and matured we would let each person pick where they wanted to go for birthday dinner. we were once a quarter so it wasn’t too long before we went to somewhere. of cource when the kids were young it was chucky cheese and places like that. my personal favorite is the melting pot. it is a fondue restaurant. my father-in-law use to joke that they got out easy ’cause you do all the coooking yourself. they have some delicious food there. even if you have to cook it yourself.ReplyCancel

  • DallaMay 28, 2010 - 7:37 am

    You are so generous. The prizes are fantastic! you do add fun too!
    i don’t have a favorite special place right now, because my favorite place closed down! Boo-hoo – that’s the life of a restaurant though!

    Becca, this sounds like fun…so I want to play. My favorite place to eat out is a wonderful seafood place! We live in Maine so seafood and fish is my very favorite!! Very generous blog candy. I would love to be the recipient of your overbuying! Have a great weekend.ReplyCancel

  • TeresaMay 28, 2010 - 8:55 am

    This candy looks pretty yummy!!! I think my favorite place to eat is a local mexican restaurant “Mi Casita”. Since I eat there at least twice a week it had best be a fav. If I go all out it would be “Sho Guns”. Have a great holiday.ReplyCancel

  • RubyMay 28, 2010 - 8:57 am

    My favorite place (one) is PF Chang (chinese). I just hope that we can go, the one we usually go to is always so busy. Tks for the chance to win the blog candy. Love your blog, I look forward to seeing you latest creations.ReplyCancel

    Happy Memorial Day Weekend Becca,

    I always look forward to your blog candy, more so beacuse you get us thinking about interesting things. I always like to read some of the responses as I scroll down to enter mine.
    My all time favorite resaurant that I love to be taken to is Bartalotta’s Lake Park Bistro. This resaurant overlooks Lake Michigan and I alway ask for a table by the windows. Not only is the food really good it comes with a wonderful view of the lake. I go there every year on my birthday.ReplyCancel

  • mary lukemanMay 28, 2010 - 8:58 am

    Thanks for another try at blog candy. One of my favorite places to eat out is Mc Gregor’s Tea Room in Pictou—- a45 minute drive away. The food is so great.

  • Ann i.May 28, 2010 - 8:59 am

    If someone asked me out for dinner and it was anywhere, I’d say any restaurant as long as it was in my favorite town up in Central California. I’d even be happy McD’s as long as it was there.. Our hope is to retire there one day.. Thanks for the chance to win such great candy!ReplyCancel

  • Kelly SasMay 28, 2010 - 9:09 am

    Enjoy your weekend with time to do what you would like. I know you want to know about my favorite place to be taken out to dinner, but I have to tell you about my plans for the weekend because I am so excited! Our oldest daughter lives on the other side of the country. Her husband was unemployed for over a year due to his company closing up this office. He got a job 5 weeks ago but had to move back to our state. So, our daughter is flying here and then her and her husband are coming to our lake house for the weekend!!! I am so happy and excited that they will be together and that they wanted to be with us! If you were taking me out I enjoy going to a little place in our home town for frog legs. They make the best frog legs – very little breading – and just the right seasoning so that you can enjoy the meat. Thanks for letting me share my excitement for the weekend!ReplyCancel

    Hey Becca! Thank you for purging your craft room, cause someone gets the benefits!
    I have a saying-any meal is good, if I do not have to cook it!! So, eating out is one oof my favorite things to do. I like to go to a local place called Canton Wok. They make the best lemon chicken and white sticky rice. They give you so much, that I eat the leftovers for 2 other meals. Have a good day :& weekend!ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Thank you for your generosity and beautiful work. I found your blog thru Beate’s Fresh & Fun. Now I’m slowly browsing through your archives and admiring all of your creations. I love to eat anywhere outside of my own kitchen. But I don’t do so frequently because I do like to cook. So a special dinner for me and my husband would be OUTSIDE the kitchen and OUT in the dining room with him doing the cooking!ReplyCancel

  • Pam SpradlinMay 28, 2010 - 9:24 am

    I am one very lucky girl…I have a husband, who after 31 years of marriage, decided that he wanted to learn to cook. Shortly after that, he completely took over the kitchen. I am happy to say that I have not stepped foot in a grocery store in 3 years. The best part…He even does the dishes and cleans up the kitchen. So when we go out, it is usually to a place that he picks so he can have the change of pace one needs when they do all the cooking and usually that is someplace that serves a steak.
    Love your blog candy…sure do appreciate that you are doing this for your readers.ReplyCancel

  • Arlene SMay 28, 2010 - 9:25 am

    If I were to be treated to dinner,well during these financial difficult times, I’d want to go to this great hamburger place in town. I can’t think of the name of it right now, but I just love a great hamburger. Of course steak & lobster is always great, but just not practical for me today.ReplyCancel

  • Becky BowmanMay 28, 2010 - 10:30 am

    PF Changs has my number today, especially the one in Hawaii, the open air atmosphere, is awesome. However, I’m on the mainlamd and happen to have PF Changs close by. I would start with the “crispy green beans” – oh yumm. Then would have “wok-charred beef” and “orange peel chicken”, with a side of brown rice. Oh my mouth is watering. or if it is a late afternoon, we would stick to the starter menu.

    Have a great & safe HolidayReplyCancel

  • MarcieMay 28, 2010 - 10:32 am

    Becca,
    Have a long time friend staying with us through the holidays and have been eating out off and on all week. This is a bad weekend to be out and about here in San Diego, CA, so we will be grilling steaks for the holiday right here in our backyard. We will have the entire family along with several extended family members over. It will be a real relaxing weekend with the family close at home. Sorry your plans were a bust. Hope you have a great weekend anyway. I will definitely be checking in to gather my words and see what else you have in store for us. Love these things. Just fun to play along.

    Hi Grace. I’ll be off all weekend too, but then I have to work on Memorial Day! Have a great weekend! If I could go anywhere for dinner it would be G & M restaurant in Maryland. I live just over the PA border and I work in MD, but G & M makes the best crab cakes (my favorite)!ReplyCancel

    I am not big on eating out and much prefer having a get together with friends and oysters roasting on the grill!! If I do go out, take me anywhere that has wonderful sushi with lots of Wasabi sauce!! I can eat Wasabi straight out of the bottle!! I put it on everything at home!

    Hi Becca, my sister-in-law is coming to visit. We plan to cook out, golf, and just chill – hoping the pool is warm enough (I live in Michigan and we just opened the pool this past Monday). So, if I were going out to eat, I would love to go to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. But, this weekend, we are grilling – which means hubby will be doing the cooking – yahoo!

    Have a wonderful Memorial Holiday to you and yours!ReplyCancel

  • Heather xMay 28, 2010 - 10:46 am

    If I was being treated to dinner out, I would love to go to a posh resturant where you get serenaded..It would feel like a romantic night out with hubby, we have never had the money to go out to a resturant. Our idea of a treat we can afford is Macdonalds lol.

    I know that you are probably a lot more organized than you say you are.
    I believe the style of a person’s cards reflects their personality and a lot about them. So… I am betting that you are very neat. At any rate I just had to say that. Now, if you saw my spot I craft in…
    Well, there are a lot of things I enjoy, and one of them being, after a day of chores and/or crafting I love going out for a nice dinner. One of my favorite restaurants is Garden Fresh–not a chain as my family and I are vegetarians. The food from this restaurant is not only vegetarian but vegan too. It is unbelievable what they can do with mushrooms!
    My other favorite would be a good Mexican restaurant or Indian or Japanese or Chinese or Thai or Vietnamese. I do tend to ramble.
    Sorry about your plans being nixed;sounds like you take things in stride though. We aren’t traveling either and (I just gotta say this) my baby is graduating from middle school today,so no travel plans.
    Hope your weekend is memorable.

    Your Blog Candy, could sure light up my life since the weather isn’t.

    I love Spellbinders and the frames are on my list!! :-)

    I love food, all kinds, so today I’d pick Mexican. Probably a small family resturant up here called, “Amy’s.” Not a very Spanish sounding name, but Oh, the food is glorious!!

    I proposed to my hubby because he’s such a great cook but western NC is one of the best in the country for BBQ. So, if HE wants a meal out, we go to 12 Bones which is the first place President Obama went when he arrived here for a short weekend vacation. I go to the location that used to be a gas station and the line always goes out the front door…it’s worth it!ReplyCancel

    Okay, favorite meal out is a very hard one because my hubby is such ana amazing cook that we rarely eat out. However, he refuses to learn how to make Sushi so it is a meal we CAN eat out. Yup, Sushi every time I get a choice :D Even better is we have lots of fabulous sushi places around Vancouver. When our Japanese clients come over for business they wanted to go eat Sushi here because it is better and cheaper than theirs in Japan. Okay, now I want some California Rolls!!!ReplyCancel

    We have a big NASCAR race in town ths weekend and the traffic is awful so we will be staying home. If we were going out, I would like to go to Kabuto…a Japanese hibache grill. The food there is wonderful and we love to watch the chef dazzle us with all the tricks.
    Hubby did surprise me and took me out to IHOP this morning. I love the Swedish Crepes with lingenberry butter. The best treat of all was that my son and dil came along with us and spent the morning with us. I so enjoy spending time with my kiddos!

    Oh my, favorite place to go for a treat is Red Robin. I don’t eat hamburgers and french fries any more since changing my diet 3 almost 4 years ago. So my treat is once every 4-5 months to go to Red Robin and have a juice burger and their awesome fries !!!!!

    Here is a special quote on this eve of Memorial Day weekend I found on the internet from Lee Greenwood,

    “And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.
    And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.”

    Dear Becca, how sweet you are to give us all this great help and goodies too! Hope your hubby continues to do well in recovering from his surgery. My 89-year-old Mom had both her eyes done last year and she did great! So have full faith that your experience will turn out well. And thank you for the heads up on the Just Right catalog. I’ve ordered two! As to my favorite place to eat, when we are down at the beach (Newport, OR) I like to go to a small place called Local Ocean for seafood. Probably should not have told as it is a just a tiny place with only about a dozen tables or so. But all the seafood come froms local fishermen and you can buy fresh there to take home and cook too. My heart goes out to those fishermen in Louisiana and all who value the wildlife there!ReplyCancel

  • CanadianScrapper43May 28, 2010 - 1:21 pm

    What a great give away! I would love to win. I just had surgery a couple days ago, and thought I would lool at the blogs I follow while I lay here. Worst thing about recovery is being bored. Lol! If my dh were to come home and bring food to me, I would want something from Swiss Chatlet! I love there chicken and there barbaque sauce is the best. Yes, that would be good right now! Thanks for the give away. Have a great time with your family this long weekend.ReplyCancel

    Thanks for your beautiful and inspiring blog and the generous giveaway! I have a lot of favorite restaurants, but one of my very favorites would have to be Macaroni Grill! Ha ha, I used to drive by this place all the time and wonder who would EVER want to eat there, something about their name just didn’t appeal to me! Well, jokes on me I LOVE that place and their bread is out of this world good!ReplyCancel

  • GloriaMay 28, 2010 - 2:15 pm

    When we go out locally, I like to go to Red Robin. Usually busy but they have athe best burgers! You can get a petite size for $1 less. It is not about the money, but the amount of food… I can’t eat that much. I usually take the bun off anyway. And that allows more room for their endless plank fries! Our kids give us gift certificates for Mother’s Day, birthdays, and Santa always has one in our stockings! Yum… that and movie tickets… great gifts for old folks. :-)ReplyCancel

  • Janice C. in NYMay 28, 2010 - 2:17 pm

    I admit it…..I love to eat!!! I’ve been told that I’m a darn good cook and could almost rival the best but I love having my meals prepped for me too. So I instinctively crave Italian food….so maybe I can persuade my gang to take me out for some this weekend. What a fun game.ReplyCancel

    My very favorite restaurant is the “Waterfront” which overlooks the Mississippi River in La Crosse, WI. Very pricy but the food is very exquisite and delicious!! My special man takes me there about once a year. We won’t be going over the Memorial Day weekend. I would much rather celebrate with a filet mignon, baked potato and veggies done on the grill. :)

  • Martha NicholsonMay 28, 2010 - 3:37 pm

    Happy Memorial Day. I think it is so wonderful to live in a country that we have the right to say and be anything that we want. I love that we can honor the ones that keep us free and celebrate that we are the freeiest country in this world. And that God has given us the means to make ourselves great. I know it is not poltically correct to so call put God in anthing anymore. But it is might right as a free citizen in this country (USA) to worship God and thank him for everything I have. I never take for granted what he has done for me. Some may not want him as a part of our lives. But that is one freedom that anyone can take from us. God lets us beleive what we wish. No one can control what is in my mind or my heart. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday weekend. I look forward to more of your designs. I’ll be back for more.ReplyCancel

  • BettyMay 28, 2010 - 3:37 pm

  • Martha NicholsonMay 28, 2010 - 3:40 pm

    I forgot to put what we are doing for the holidays. My husband is a pro-wrestler and he is doing benifit shows to make money for 2 charities. The Children Miracle Network and The Shriners Hospital in our local city. He loves doing for the kids. We usually make great money, but it seems to never be enough. So were spending it making money for charity.ReplyCancel

My hubby wasn’t thrilled, but he did all the work. I’m just glad I’m not a hoarder. If I don’t use it, I’ll sell it, even stamping stuff. It keeps me organized.

    Hi Becca,
    We’ll be staying home for the holiday weekend. My husband has to work, so we have to be home. There’s plenty to do around here, so that’s ok. If I were going out for dinner, Panera Bread is always a favorite place. I love their you pick two deal, and usually pick a soup and a salad. I will try to collect the words, but I’m afraid I’ve already missed the first one. I am not able to get on the internet early in the day because of my job, so I only get on once a day after work. That usually cuts me out of the chance for these double play candies, because I don’t get the AM word.ReplyCancel

    Hello Becca,

    Thanks again for another chance at winning more great prizes but more importantly how is hubby coming along after his op and how are you keeping?

    I don’t dine out too often and living in Australia I don’t suppose you would be familiar with our restaurants but when the occassion arises I do like to go to a fish restaurant called Cicerello’s, it has a casual atmosphere with ocean views and you have the choice of eating your fish and chips from a plate or the paper they wrap them in,

    best wishes to you and hubby.

    One of our favorite places is within 2 miles of our house in our little town, the Silver Spur at The Duke (yep, named for John Wayne) Golf Resort. John Wayne’s former ranch is just a few miles south of us here in AZ. We just love the ambience and food there. Normally a quiet place, unless they’re having a men’s golf tournament — LOL!!! They serve my fav salad, the Silver Spur w/chicken, goat cheese, and home made Balsamic Vinagrette dressing — yummm, wish I were there right now!!!

    Becca, the blog candy is amazing, but seriously your creative ideas are a treat in themselves. My favorite place to eat…just ONE? Oh ok….We have a place called the Cypress Inn. It sits right on the river. They serve these yummy little muffins along with yeast rolls. Their specialty is Fried Catfish and for lunch they serve this awsome chicken salad along with a plate of fresh fruit. But what I like most is the desert….Peanut Butter pie YUMMMMMMY! Not only do they have fabulous food but you also get an amazing view to enjoy. My son and his sweet wife took me there for mothers day. Amy my DIL and I couldn’t wait to get to dessert!LOLOL!

You are so very generous, a trait appreciated by everyone, I’m sure. I’d probably select The Crow’s Nest if I knew my host wanted a special place. It’s on the water just inside the jetty going to the Gulf of Mexico and the dining room is upstairs so everyone gets a good view; oh, and the food is excellent. If the invitation was an obligation that I didn’t think they owed, I’d probably suggest Taco Bell, which my DH and I visit fairly regularly.ReplyCancel

    My favorite restaurant is Maneros in Palm City, Florida. They used to be located in West Palm Beach where I lived for 32 years so I was able to eat there a few times a year. They have the best gorgonzola salad in the world along with wonderful steaks, ribs and seafood. Just writing about it makes me hungry. I live in Georgia now so I don’t get to go there very often; but when we go home to Florida you can be sure that is one place we visit even though it is 50 miles from where we visit family.

Thousands of pounds of pork, mutton, chicken and burgoo, (a delicious, thick soup) will be served. So that’s where I’ll eat out. I also work the “country store”. It’s a huge booth with all kinds of hand crafted items. Everything from quilts to handbags, and tons of other cool stuff can be won for a quarter. It’s different every year depending on what’s donated. There are many many more booths with fun things to do, to entertain both the young and old. There are pony and carriage rides and live music, and a talent show for the finale. It’s so much fun to come together, to work and play and make it a success. I’ll see friends there, I haven’t seen in years. It’s a family affair, our home-coming picnic. It’s a big deal for our small town. Doesn’t it sound like fun! Thank you for the chance to win the terrific candy. You’re the BEST! Blessings!ReplyCancel

    I love chinese and there’s a great local place here that we often visit. The food is always great and there’s that comfortable familiarity you get when you’ve been going to a restaurant for a long time.

    Have a great weekend and hope you enjoy yours. We’ll be celebrating my mom and dad’s 60th anniversary!ReplyCancel

  • CarolMay 29, 2010 - 12:45 am

    Happy Saturday to you, Becca! I’ve given your question regarding a restaurant I’d like to go to for dinner and another choice would be a local Thai restaurant called The Lemon Grass. FABULOUS food!!!! And it’s right next to an “artsy” movie theatre–specializing in foreign and non-mainstream movies–so dinner AND a show!!ReplyCancel

  • ChinnuMay 29, 2010 - 12:49 am

    Hello, Becca. I love Tex-Mex food, especially the salsa and chips, – and Pappasitos, Ninfa’s, Los Cucos… are three of my favorite local Tex-Mex restaurant chains….love their fajitas, quesadillas….there’s also Cyclone Anaya’s which has the best spicy salsa and chips.. Yummmm!ReplyCancel

  • EllieMay 29, 2010 - 12:50 am

    Good morning!
    I hope your day is wonderful–you are so kind to do this.
    Another place I love to go is Olive Garden. I always get the chicken parm when I go–it is so yummy. I also really like their salad dressing.ReplyCancel

  • GloriaMay 29, 2010 - 1:19 am

    Another favorite local place for us is Applebees. We can get good food, good service at a reasonable price. And the kids keep sending those gift cretificates to we “elders” can go to the movies and dinner, have a good time, eat good food, and not have to worry about the bill. My favorite here is the Oriental Chicken Salad, yum!ReplyCancel

  • Tanja SMay 29, 2010 - 1:32 am

    Thanks again for this giveaway. You are so generous!

    I love eating at the Inventions Restaurant in the Disneyland Hotel, Disneyland, Paris. I don’t know if you have the equivalent in Florida. The spread is fabulous, and though pricey, it’s an ‘eat all you can’ buffet. The little French rolls are so moreish!

    Feeling hungry now ;o)

    I took flowers to the cemetery and there were flags lining all the drives. They also put smaller flags on all veterans’ graves. It was an awesome sight.

    One of my favorite local restaurants is Lomeli’s Italian restaurant — they have very good food. It is not a large restaurant and most times there is a wait, but it is worth it.ReplyCancel

    Hello Becca,

    the perfect re-inker palette sounds wonderful…now to see if there is anything similar here in Western Australia,

    I’ve been reading some of the responses to the favourite restaurants and all the talk of food is not helping my diet any, they all sound delicious and tempting,

    hope you are having a good weekend

  • ColleenB.May 29, 2010 - 4:31 am

    Favorite Restaurant for breakfast and / or lunch, I would have to say ‘Our Place’. They do close at 3 in the afternoon but they have the best home cooked meals and the service is Fantastic. You have to get there early cause usually after 9AM you will have about a 20 – 30 minute wait to be seated.
    Oh, and they have the best desserts, of which are all homemade as well.
    Thank you again Becca for such a wonderful giveaway on this holiday weekend.

    I used to like Olive Garden for an Italian restaurant, but when they took my favorite dish off their menu and then on top of that stopped serving their chocolate lasagna for dessert, I was finished with them. But, we found an even better Italian restaurant… even though it’s a chain restaurant, it just has a feel to me of a little independent, privately owned restaurant and the food is so much better than any other Italian restaurant I’ve tried. I love their lasagna or a dish they call “skilletini” (sp?) which, as it’s name suggests is served in a big iron skillet. But, of course, they have to have a great dessert to be a favorite of mine and they do… an Italian Chocloate Cake that is unlike any other restaurant chocolate cake I’ve ever had. So, that’s one place I might choose if someone is taking me to dinner.ReplyCancel

  • NolaMay 29, 2010 - 4:59 am

    well, today it’s off to downtown Chicago for the Soldier Field 10 mile run to cheer on our daughter. So food for the day will probably be hot dogs or hamburgers at the concession stands there.

    Afav of mine is Meers in Lawton, Ok. From the outside it looks like a dump, just corrugated tin. Inside isn’t any better. All the tables have something under a leg to level them, and nothing matches. But the food! Hamburgers as large as a pie tin, fries that fill another tin. An order of ribs is the whole rack. For desert, a large bowl of homemade icecream. I’m on my way now.ReplyCancel

    Great idea for the reinkers. I agree out of site out of mind.
    I hope your DH is back to great health and healed.

    I think if someone were to take me out to eat I think it would be great to be with all my family (we are so spread out – different states) but to get together for a great BBQ, play games, visit, laugh and just enjoy the get together. That would be the perfect place for someone to take me.ReplyCancel

    I was smiling as I was reading some of the comments last night. Seems Olive Garden is a very popular place to eat. Given a choice, I”d say my husband would pick Olive Garden at least 8 out of 10 times. We both battle the “bulge”, so always get their unlimited soup, salad & breadsticks, but rarely a second helping of anything. It’s consistently good no matter which Olive Garden we go to. Always neat, clean, great service and reasonable price!ReplyCancel

  • CathyMay 29, 2010 - 10:49 am

    Since I am a widow, I would prefer to be asked over for dinner instead of going out. I eat out often since it is just easier than cooking for one. If they prefer to eat out I am very flexible and would agree to go where ever the group would like to go. We have several local restaurants the would be fine also. They are good food, located within a short distance and very reasonably priced. I am easy to get along with no matter what you have heard. ; )ReplyCancel

    Since this is a holiday weekend, “The Hole in Wall BBQ” is a wonderful for it’s bbq meats, the ribs – oh – well lets say I don’t share, they have a rub that is to die for. The ribs are not a goey mess, however they do have an assortment of sauces to add your own goey experience… oh the cornbread is always moist and ready for that honeybutter… the coleslaw is just right, not too much dressing..

    Hi Becca
    Thank you for another fabulous blog candy. I am sure someone will be extremely happy to win!
    We have a German restaurant here in United Arab Emirates and they serve PORK! Being a Muslim country, pork is not that freely available. I love going there and that is my favourite restaurant it is called The Brauhaus, it is located in a hotel. It was soooo funny when they dicovered “swine flue”, all pork products were stopped in the UAE and this restaurant was forced to close for a while. Thank goodness it is open again.

    Hello – computer down this morning – no word!! Blah!!

    A meal that I would enjoy being treated to would be one from a little restaurant in Emma, IN. It’s a typical Amish settlement – probably has about 75 – 100 residents. There is an OLD general store that someone has refurbished – old style – and has created a eating place. Specials every night (except Sunday) and Wednesday is Swiss Steak special with homemade bread and, of course, real mashed potatoes and corn…..just the typical Amish food – and so yummy!ReplyCancel

    I love the chicken oriental salad served at – Applebee’s or Chili’s – I’m sorry, I cannot keep the two separated as to which serves what. In our location they are side-by-side and my memory is not as it should be. Actually, I think both serve this salad but I prefer one over the other; just don’t go often enough to know which is which. In my mind their menus and restaurant layout do not differentiate them from each other…maybe I should send their CEOs a letter. lol My entry today is a blatant attempt for another chance to win the blog candy…the icing on top of all the goodies you present on a daily basis.

    One of my favorite restaurants closed this past year. It was the Alpine Garden Grill, setup at a greenhouse, with a beautiful garden and fountain.

    Our town doesn’t have any nice bike trails so my husband and I took a short road trip this morning to a town about 30 miles away where there are some nice trails. We rode (just guessing since we don’t have a pedometer) probably about 15-20 miles. That’s a lot for me since I haven’t ridden in probably 3 years. Anyway, we did one of my favorite things for lunch. We packed a few sandwiches and had a picnic on the edge of the river. We were very hungry after our ride, so anything would have tasted good and the company couldn’t have been any better. ;) It doesn’t have to cost a lot to be wonderful!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, hope you and hubby are enjoying your holiday! It is still raining hard here in Portland, OR. Course, our really dry season (yes, we have one) doesn’t start until the middle of July so rain this weekend is no surprise. When we want to go out to a really special place, with friends or family, we go to McGrath’s Fish House. They have other things than seafood so this is a good compromise and the prices are reasonable. It is usually very crowded and they, of course, serve fresh, caught in ocean off the Pacific Northwest, seafood. We also use the Seafood guide put out by many zoos and aquariums around the country for good and bad choices of seafood. Sadly, some are being over harvested or grown in “farms ” where the condicions are not palatable to the American tummy. If anyone is interested in such a guide, they should check with a zoo or aquarium website. I know Monterey Bay as a downloadable list; the Oregon Zoo too I think. There, I got in my pitch for conservation. I feel so upset about what is happening down in Louisana! Pray that Obama will keep his promise to help those folks and all those animals!ReplyCancel

    In our small town there is an amazing restaurant called Ty’s and Tails. It is very small and they only open certain nights and you usually need a reservation. The food is prepared when you order and is not like anything you would get at a regular restaurant. The maple glazed salmon is one of the best fish dinners ever and although they are well known for their sticky date pudding, nothing on the dessert menu will ever disappoint!ReplyCancel

My absolute favorite place that we go to for our anniversary is in Portland, Or at Saylor’s Steak house.

    Taking 3 kids out for dinner is a real challenge so we often get take-out. We will get chinese from Quality Foods here on Vancouver Island, BC. We get enough for dinner and there is usually lots left over for lunch the next day. There is no MSG and all made fresh on site. It costs a lot less than all of us going out and I don’t have to cook at all.

    Hi Becca,
    Hope you are having a great day! I forget the name of the restaurant but it was such fun and the food was good. It is in Florida and you must walk out this long pier to get there. It is in the gulf of Mexico. The pelicans come and roost on the roof. There is a pier around it and the pelicans are friendly enough to touch. That would be a great place to have a meal.

Most places on the wharf have it, but their’s is really tasty.

    Hi Becca, Hope you and your loved ones are enjoying your holiday weekend. I like to stay home on big holidays like this one. I’d rather not fight the crowds. Eating out is good though, so I don’t have to cook. We have a nice restaurant not far away called The Briarpatch. It serves a great steak. And I won’t have to clean up either. Thanks for the chance to win your neat gifts. Stay well and safe. Blessings!ReplyCancel

    Mexican food would be another favorite for our family!!!ReplyCancel

  • Jean McGeeMay 29, 2010 - 10:16 pm

    Hello again Becca!
    I have written about 2 of my favorite local restaurants but then thought–“if I could go anywhere-why not pick a couple of my hometown favorites?” So here goes: Pepe’s Pizza in New Haven Ct is the first. It has been serving “tomato pies” since the 1930’s. The only item on the menu is pizza and you can have it just about any way you like. The oven is coal fired and big enough to fit more than 30 lg pies at a time. The family brought them here from Italy when they imigrated and they are a tourist attraction all on their own. The doors open at 4 every day and a line starts forming outside around 3. The line is constant for several hours. If you are ever in CT you won’t want to miss it.ReplyCancel

  • PatMay 30, 2010 - 1:10 am

    For steaks, we usually go to either Hoffbrau or the Outback Steakhouse.ReplyCancel

  • LindaMay 30, 2010 - 1:30 am

    Hi Becca — A fun place I get to go to about once a year for brunch is The Reef in Long Beach — located very close to the Queen Mary. My daughter has taken me there several times for my birthday. Since my birthday is right before Christmas, the restaurant is always beautifully decorated. My daughter gets reservations with the same waiter each time — Augie. He only works on Sundays and sitting in his section is like getting a show along with your meal. We always have a wonderful time.ReplyCancel

  • CherylMay 30, 2010 - 2:24 am

    Morning Becca. I also love the food at Olive Garden. I have always loved pasta and fresh bread. Hugs and thanks again. CherylReplyCancel

  • GloriaMay 30, 2010 - 3:00 am

    Hi Becca, we went to another of our favorite places today… inexpensive, willing to split a meal, customize, etc. Ours is in a mall, it is Noodles&Co. Our favorite is the buttered noodles (oh, those callories!) with a grilled chicken breast. We split the noodles, got 2 different breast (Hubby’s was with parmazon cheese, mine was plain) and refillable drinks. Hope everyone is having a safe and sane holiday. Don’t forget the reason for this special day…. to honor those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.ReplyCancel

  • SusanMay 30, 2010 - 3:06 am

    Hello Becca,

    Hi Becca – our tradition for Father’s Day is to go for brunch at the Pier W – a local restaurant in Lakewood Oh (near Cleveland). The building juts out over Lake Erie offering a lovely view of downtown Cleveland and the Sunday regattas. The food is delicious – roast beef, salmon, Belgium waffles, and more – yummy! Lovely view, delicious food, my darling family – I’m looking forward to it!

    Wow, I’m running out of places to eat…………………..I think the Olive Garden is a good choice. The salad, soup and bread special is always a good choice. It’s all you can eat and there are lots of soups to choose from. Also, they are always introducing new items so it’s fun to try those too.

    Thanks Becca for your great hints and tips. The new “Girl” card is adorable. Perfect for a new baby as well. Ejoy the day……………..

  • Lisa SturgillMay 30, 2010 - 8:48 am

    Wow Becca,

    DELISH Blog candy!!! I have not been on the past week due to Graduation activities with my Daughter, we are so proud of her. I am also honoring my Son this weekend as he is serving in the AF. He may not be overseas, but is guarding “items” that are very important. I am so proud of him as well. I am blessed with 3 wonderful children, although they are all adults now, my oldest very happy in a relationship, and working.

    I think my favorite meal would have to be here at home, when my Hubby breaks out the BBQ pulled pork. He has perfected his rub and has a smoker, but to be honest, I love watching him “take” care of his boston butts, sometimes through out the night. I make the coleslaw, and we usually invite friends of ours, our Daughter, or family. It is always a great time, and everyone who has eaten his pulled pork always ask for more!

    I will give you a favorite restaurant, it is a local one here in Augusta called Fujiyamas, but we go for lunch and I get the Bento Box, Hubby gets the steak and shrimp hibachi, while my Daughter is the Sushi Chick! Sometimes we will order or favorite sushi roll which is called a “spyder roll” which is filled with a yummy fried soft shelled crab and some sort of sauce. The also have a ginger house dressing that is completely addictive.

    Have a very happy Memorial day weekend!!!! No surprise Husband is grilling, except Turkey burgers, and corn on the cob. I’m on Potato salad duty, which in the South, most people mash the potatoes!

    Crafty Hugs!

    Such a sweet little Tilda card today, just darling! It would seem I have a lot of “favorite” places to eat, because I keep thinking of more places. When we get to Milwaukee, WI we often go to a little restaurant near the university campus. It’s called Oakland Gyros, and as you can tell by the name, it’s specialty is gyros. They serve lots of other tasty Greek foods, but the gyros are sooo good. There is so much meat on them, that I always have to order an extra pita bread and take half the meat home for another meal. It’s great food, not outrageously priced, so it is a hit with the college kids too. They also serve a raspberry lemonade that really quenches your thirst. Makes me wish we were headed to Milwaukee this weekend!ReplyCancel

I look at all the stuff that you make every day and get inspired to come up with something of my own, as i don’t like to copy since it will either disapoint me that it wasnt like yours and since i want to be unique in my card making as well. so , keep up the great work !ReplyCancel

    Another fav place for us to eat is Elephant Bar — love their Spicy Thai High Chicken Salad — yummy!!! Was treated to one for my recent birthday luncheon by our dear friends. Great food & good friends = perfect day!!!ReplyCancel

    Our neighbors we trade back forth over the year having each other for dinner, the summer time is the favorite, you get to eat outside without wearing tons of clothing. But my favorite meal is the BBQ Salmon that is freshly caught. We soak a cedar board the day before and the filet the salmon and then apply a rub of lemon pepper seasoning and brown sugar, the corn on the cob wrapped in foil with buterr, lime juice and clintro, the rest of the vegies will be cut into large pieces and then grilled in a basket. Dessert will be an almond pound cake with fresh friut of the season. The backyard is the bestest place to eat… with friends – bring your own drink, maybe a shanty or diet coke with a twist of lemon.ReplyCancel

    That is just the cutest Tilda, Becca! What gorgeous work you do! Speaking of gorgeous, DH and I went to Hawaii for our 35th anniversary in 2008. We went for breakfast at a golf course on Maui, and we ate on the terrace overlooking the golf course, and the bay where the whales come to play in the warm waters. The whole thing was incredibly unforgettable, and I’ve been wanting to go back there ever since. Besides the scenery and the surroundings, the Eggs Benedict with fresh mushrooms and brie were outstanding!ReplyCancel

    Becca, I absolutely love the idea about the ink holder. It is so awesome. Seems to me, I am not totally sure but don’t reinkers act alot like watercolors in that if you just add water to them they rehydrate. So if they do dry out, just add water? Anyway, love the Girl Thing. Daugher is expecting our first grandchild in July and I can’t wait. Can imagine using this for a bunch of different girly things.

    When we feel like down home BBQ we head over to “Johnnie D’s.”

    You walk in and feel like you have been transported to the Louisianna Bayou. The BBQ is fantastic and the cornbread, greens, and fried pickles are mouth watering. The prices are good, the amount of food is generous and the staff are welcoming and friendly.

    The free peaunts while you wait are adictive as well.

I have a Cricut expression, cuttlebug and all the other goodies and thought I had everything that I could ever want…until I saw your beautiful cards and projects! You are very gifted and I inspire to achieve your level of creativity.

    Now, this blog candy is all new to me. I have never left comments or replies on any website before, until now.

Missed 6 which we will maybe do tomorrow or maybe when the weather is better because it is supposed to rain here in Portland, OR tomorrow. None of them are vetarans, which this holiday is really about.

    Gee, Becca, I’m running out of favorites. So I guess I’ll have to give you a non-favorite. Olive Garden. The only thing I can eat there is the salad and bread sticks (yummy!). Everything else makes me sick, really. For some reason their food just doesn’t sit well on my tummy. However, it is one of my son’s family’s favorites so sometimes I have to go and just order the salad and breadsticks. The staff get really obnoxious about it sometimes and don’t want to bring me a plate for the big salad bowl course. But if I am paying for it separaetely, I don’t understand why I should not be able to eat with the rest of the family! Guess that makes it a double unfavorite. :-)ReplyCancel

  • LindaMay 31, 2010 - 2:14 am

    Happy Memorial Day!

    Another fun restaurant is Back Home in Lahaina. They even have live entertainment on certain nights — a band playing Hawaiian music, with diners joining in and doing the hula. Obviously the dancers are not beginners — they know how to hula.
    I usually get their teriyaki chicken sandwich and hubby likes the char sui chicken fried rice. We both get the Hawaiian ice tea and share a piece of haupia cheesecake for dessert. Yummers!!ReplyCancel

    It’s funny when my Mother was alive she would always ask what was for dinner and when I told her she would always say that was her favourite, I seem to recollect everything edible was my Mothers favourite…you don’r get any prizes for guessing who I take after,

    take care

    Hi Becca,
    Have had a wonderful weekend so far. Lot’s of family around. Usually stay real close to home throught the holiday, but we did venture out this year because we had a very dear friend who is visiting from Arizona this year. He has terminal cancer but is quite the trooper. We took him to San Juan Capistrano and had dinner with my 85 yr old Mother-in-law at a local cafe there. Great visit and very good food. We will BBQ tonight with the entire family, and then we are meeting up with more friends the following morning for breakfast at a place called the Bread Basket in Alpine. Hope you and hubby have had a safe & wonderful weekend.

    Hi Becca. I don’t eat out very often. I would have to say the Outback Steakhouse has the best steak I have ever eaten. I used to live near Concord, Massachusetts. There were many small homey places to eat. I like the places that are run by families. The family bakeries are wonderful there too. The area I live in now, Central Florida, has only large restaurant chains. I really miss the family type atmosphere of the northern pubs and inns. I watch Guy Fieri and envy the way he travels all around and goes to all kinds of different places on the road. I have never been to New York, but it looks like they have wonderful bakeries and places to eat.
    Hugs. CherylReplyCancel

    One of my favorite restaurants that we only ate at once (on our Honeymoon) was in Maui….the Tommy Bahama Restaurant was AWESOME. I think they also have one in Naples Florida.ReplyCancel

  • christiMay 31, 2010 - 5:50 am

    mastori’s restaurant in/near bordentowne nj. is an awsome place to eat. the best part of the meal are their homemade breads. my two favorites are the cinnamon swirl and the cheese bread. i am a carb lover from way back. they sell the bread to go too, so when i know someone is going to be in that area i ask them to pick up a loaf for me. i haven’t lived there in 20+ years but just thinking about it makes me hungry. thanks for the chance to win blog candy.ReplyCancel

  • SallyMay 31, 2010 - 6:23 am

    Hi Becca, thanks for your Amazing website and great ideas! I try to check it out every day. I like eating at both Logan’s and O’Charley’s, but most of all at home. My husband is a really terrific chef.ReplyCancel

  • Magi DuncanMay 31, 2010 - 6:40 am

    Good morning, Becca! Beautiful card posted yesterday! Had to check in before we leave for the parade this morning! Another favorite spot to dine out (especially when I am on track with healthy choices) is Outback. They will work with me on grilling my steak without extras, as well as my mushrooms and onions!ReplyCancel

  • NancyMay 31, 2010 - 6:44 am

    Good morning. Did you see the concert on TV last night honoring our veterans? It was wonderful. (I cried through much of it; that’s a good barometer of excellence, right?) Anyway, remembering so many that sacrificed so much this day.
    Dinner out? Pappadeaux’s is a choice I would make. Our son took me there for a Mother’s Day brunch. Yum.ReplyCancel

  • RufusMay 31, 2010 - 6:44 am

    A good steak dinner is always nice. I like the Outback and I have to admit that I’m also fond of their WallbyDarned drink! Hope that you’ve had a good weekend. God Bless the USA and her Armed Forces, past, present and future.

    One of our favorite restaurants just closed up after being in Smyrna DE for over 70 years. It was called Wayside Inn and the food and atmosphere was so nice! It was a favorite for a romantic dinner for an anniversary or birthday. But the days for the small business entrepreneur seems to be quickly disappearing. Thanks again for some wonderful blog candy and I really enjoy your cards!ReplyCancel

  • BarbaranneMay 31, 2010 - 6:49 am

    What a pretty pink card you posted yesterday! I love that flower border and the pretty bows.

    For my 1 comment for the final day 4…I love chinese food. My favorite has to be beef lo mein. I normally order take out but wouldn’t mind going out to eat at a local restaurant.

    Thanks Becca for the great blog candy giveaways and your excellent blog! I’m still going back through your blog day by day from the very beginning, so far i’m in sept of 2008. :)

    Again, Good luck to everyone!ReplyCancel

  • Paula KayMay 31, 2010 - 7:30 am

    Hi Becca, this is the final day, and I can hardly wait to see who wins. My favorite place to eat is at home. It is always better to have a home-cooked meal than to eat out. That’s my vote! But it is nice to go out and not have to cook occasionally. We like Cracker Barrel when we travel – love to shop and see all their goodies!ReplyCancel

    This is the first time I have ever done something like this but it sure has been fun.

    Today, we are doing one of my favorite things of all. We are getting together with a small group of friends for a cookout. Mostly, we will just sit around togeter and chat. We will probably eat too much but when you re with close friends the calories don’t count right? Have a happy day! Ellie WernerReplyCancel

    Good Morning Becca,

    Happy Memorial Day. Let us never forget those who gave their lives so we may enjoy the freedom we have today. We take so much for granted and fail to remember we didn’t come by this easily.

    This time instead of a resturant I think a picnic in a park would be a favorite place to go. Surrounded by family, singing birds, a babbling brook and children’s laughter, a PBJ would be a feast!!

    Thanks for all you do Becca, to enrich our crafting experience..

    God Bless,

  • Becky EMay 31, 2010 - 8:57 am

  • Val WMay 31, 2010 - 9:00 am

    Happy Memorial Day! I’m sitting here thinking about what this day is all about, and feeling so thankful to all who’ve served our country.
    I didn’t want to forget to stop and tell of another favorite place to eat. When we want Italian food, we like to go to a place called Ala Roma. The serve so many delicious Italian dishes: pastas, paninis, calzones, in addition to the best thin crust pizza we’ve come across. Their salads are so big that my husband and I now order just one and split it. As more and more people discover this place, I can see that it won’t be long before they’ll need to expand.
    Have a wonderful day!ReplyCancel

    Hello Again!
    Happy Memorial Day. We had such a wonderful service yesterday to honor the men and women who have given their lives so that we can enjoy our freedom — and, prayed for our troops and their families.
    Actually enjoyed lunch out on Saturday w/ some dear friends from church. We ate at Cracker Barrell, and I so liked browsing through their store while waiting for our table. What a fun place!ReplyCancel

  • Marge R.May 31, 2010 - 9:02 am

    I think for this holiday it’s most fitting to eat bbq in our own back yard with the red, white & blue American flag flowing in the breeze to remind us how special our freedom truly is and remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep it so. Thanks Becca for helping make our Memorial Day weekend more fun and thanks to all those unsung heros and their families around the world who give up so much so that we can be free to live in this great country!

    There’s always that special place from your childhood that sticks in your mind and mine is from my freshman year in highschool. I remember Roake’s Hot Dogs. A place out of the 50’s along the side of the road where you parked and walked up to the window and ordered. They were slow (this was not a fast food joint) but of, they were good! Homemade chili for the dogs was the best!ReplyCancel

My fav dish is Eggplant Parmesan – they get the eggplant so crispy yet done on the inside. Along with the angel hair pasta and their signature Marinara sauce, they serve a bottomless salad bowl and garlic breadsticks. Add a glass of vino and – – – – I’m out the door!!!!!ReplyCancel

  • Becky BowmanMay 31, 2010 - 10:26 am

    Thinking of the past years, when the weather has been dry (Pacific Northwest) and we’ve had a first real big BBQ of season, we usually have grilled pizza, it is an all day event. (I sent my husband and a friend to cooking class to learn how to make it for the friends birthday present – they were the only two males in the class) My husband is dough boy and he makes the dough up early in the day to raise and then they chopped the veggies, and grilled the assorted meats. Usually we have people bring their favorite topping to grill and then I supply the fresh mozzeralla and or goat cheese, then you get to design your own pizza once the dough has been turned, we end up making way too many pizza’s and they are yummy, with sides of Greek Salad (this was included in the class), fresh fruit salad and we have wonderful time.

    Thanks Becca letting us share our favorite food haunts and bring back memories of sharing time with friends and family while eating….. blog candy looks yummie!ReplyCancel

  • Michelle H.May 31, 2010 - 10:27 am

    Whenever we travel, I like to find a ‘non-chain’ pizza joint. I find these are usually quaint little places with wonderful pizzas that have been able to compete and stay in business against the giants in the industry. Also, we like to find some of the places which have been featured on the program “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” when we can find them. Such good places to eat!ReplyCancel

    Hmmm… last day for a favorite restaurant… I can’t believe I’m having trouble coming up with a 4th one. I’d really love to say that I’d enjoy a wonderful meal in a dark, romantic restaurant… but since I have a degenerative retinal disease and at this point besides being legally blind in the daylight, I’m pretty much totally night blind, so in dimly lit places I just don’t see much of anything… so unfortunately I can’t do the dark restaurant thing and enjoy it. So, I guess for my last pick I’ll just pick something simple like Chili’s. They’ve really re-done their menu in the past year, I think. I was never really impressed with them until trying their ribs a few months back. We’ve gone back a few times since then and every dish I’ve tried has really been great food. So, for a nice reasonably priced meal these days, one place I’d choose would be Chili’s.ReplyCancel

  • Pam SpradlinMay 31, 2010 - 1:08 pm

    Ron’s hamburgers…it is the one place in OKC that needs to serve cholestrol medicine with the meal that you order. Everything on the menu is absolutely fabulous…the grease and salt make it all taste so good even if it is bad for you. If we feel lucky, we only eat there twice a year!ReplyCancel

  • Susan NelMay 31, 2010 - 1:15 pm

    Eating out,, even if its at your best friends house is a Blessing, you dont have to do the dishes, and you can visit your friend at the same time and then hope she’s got a dishwasher, heheheReplyCancel

    Hi Becca! I’ve been checking in to get my words each day but almost forgot that I could leave a comment everyday too. So, i hope this is the lucky entry. Another favorite restaurant of mine is Nicholas James in Merrick, NY. It is a neighborhood spot with a chef that could rival some of the best in NYC. Hope you had a great weekend.ReplyCancel

  • PatiMay 31, 2010 - 1:31 pm

    Another of my favorites for places to eat is almost any little Italian restaurant, I can think of 2 particularly, Little Italy and Piccolino’s. I love pasta, and cheese, and some meat, and need some veggies to be more healthy…mmmmmmmmm.

    Speaking of food, what a beautiful day to salute the veterans, say a prayer for those active, and relax with family and friends.ReplyCancel

  • SallyMay 31, 2010 - 1:48 pm

    Hi Becca,
    ahh, another day to think of yummy food…I think today my pick would be a wonderful homemade cearsar salad with fresh garlic crouton and lots of yummy parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top…and maybe a few good slices of freshly cooked chicken breast to make it a great meal!

    Thanks as always for your wonderful blogs and all the inspiration they provide.ReplyCancel

  • Pat JandacekMay 31, 2010 - 3:38 pm

    My last entry before the drawing, and I’ll mention Mama Leone’s and their clams linguine, a favorite dish of mine. I get the entree while George will order the veal parmesan patty appetizer. Naturally he has to sit there and watch me while I finish my dinner, long after he’s finished his! But he’s never seemed to mind and I do let him know how much I enjoy it. lol I want you to know your blog also brings me great enjoyment…quite often my mouth waters when I see your beautiful pieces!ReplyCancel

  • DebbieMay 31, 2010 - 3:42 pm

    Happy Memorial Day! I would pick The Melting Pot as a place to go with a good friend. It’s fun, casual and perfect for visiting and eating! Hoping that the number picked will be one of mine – lol.ReplyCancel

  • CindyMay 31, 2010 - 3:43 pm

    Last entry ~ home – and we’re ready for this afternoon. Dad made his potato salad. Try as I may, mine never turns out like his. And I made my “gourmet” burgers. They’ve been assemble and “chilling” since this morning, soaking in all those wonderful flavors. Now they just need to be cooked. YUM. And, I made enough for leftovers, and these taste even better the next day because all the flavors have melded together beautifully. Happy Memorial Day. I hope everyone took a few minutes out of their day to remember those we’ve lost and those who continue to serve.ReplyCancel

  • Paula KayMay 31, 2010 - 3:50 pm

    Time is nearly up for this blog candy. Sure hope I am a winner. Today is Memorial Day. I ate at Olive Garden with 12 more of my stamping friends for lunch. It was a fun time.ReplyCancel

  • Michelle H.May 31, 2010 - 4:29 pm

    Come to think of it, any place where I don’t have to prepare, cook or clean up is a GREAT place to eat, especially with loved ones. It is hard, however, to beat the Olive Garden’s soup ‘N sandwich special. Their Pasta Fazoule is wonderful!ReplyCancel

  • Shirley BMay 31, 2010 - 5:04 pm

    Tonite is our favorite backyard cookout. Burgers and baked beans. Been a while so it is extra good. Beats the cost of eating out, but…ReplyCancel

  • Jean McGeeMay 31, 2010 - 5:55 pm

    Last day, last chance. Another favorite restaurant is also in our town and that is Ede’s. It has the best bacon wrapped pork loin served with a sweet potato and a nice soup and salad bar. They are even willing to split the order for my husband and I – and there is enough for the two of us. YUM!!!

  • michelleMay 31, 2010 - 7:39 pm

    you have name thinking of another fave place that we like to go to eat..its a small new englad style seafood place…nothing inside has changed since the 40’s…you sit at a counter..on a stool..the decor is in a time warp…theres always a crowd waiting for a stool…max seating…approx 20…run by a dad and 3 sons… the food is to die for….calamari..scallops…shrimp..ipswich clams…soft shell crabs (in season)…everything is so fresh…so good…and absolutely deeee-lish!

    Hi Becca,

    Got one more favorite restaurant hubby and I go to. It’s Mitchell’s Fish Market. I have not gotten anything there that has not been good. I especially like their spinach salad tht has apples and a tangy/sweet sauce. Yum-my.

    If you come to Cincy we can have lunch there.

    Take care. Hope you had a safe and happy Memorial Day.

    Another I can think of is Montana’s – food is good but service lately has been so slow that it’s hard to take the kids there!ReplyCancel

    I hope you’ve had a good Memorial Day! One of my favorite places to eat is MY KITCHEN. My husband and I both enjoy cooking and sharing that time with each other, as well as entertaining guests. He does a lot of the prep work and I “throw it together”. We both test and add the special ingredients that make it special ordered to our tastes. Thanks for your great designs.ReplyCancel

    My hubby and I like to go to Millers Dutch Kitchen. Homemade cooking is the best! But, I really have been craving the French fries and dip at The Distillery in Savanah, GA. They soak them in beer overnight before they deep fry them the next day. (no trace of alcohol taste, though). I am not a big fan of deep fried food, but these are the best!ReplyCancel

    One more place I enjoy eating out is … and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner… is IHOP! I can eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner : ) It’s all good!

    Hi kBecca,

    I told you in my last comment that I would love to be treated to The Keg restaurant for a special dinner however, my husband surprised me last night after work with 2 luscious beef tenderion steaks. Between the two of us we made a delicious supper with lots of fresh veggies. HUM, HUM, HUM!

    Well, it”s back to the grind for most so have a happy Turesday.

    Cheers,
    CathieReplyCancel

  • Patty W.June 1, 2010 - 7:32 am

    Our local Asian restaurant is called The super buffet. Oh, the food there is super. If you go away from there hungry, it’s your own fault. Memorial day is a day for gratitude and reverence, for me to remember all the service men and women who have fought and died around the world so that we can be free. And they still are. Oh I pray for Peace everyday and beg others to do the same. Just last Thursday my 19 year old cousin was injured badly by a road side bomb. They think he will be OK, with much healing time. But another soldier with him lost his legs. Please pray for them and all the soldiers in harms way. Thanks for a chance to win. Blessings!ReplyCancel

  • SusanJune 1, 2010 - 12:11 pm

    Hello Becca,

    reading all these messages here has made me think about the time when I was just a kid and dining out was something only the rich folk could afford, today even the poorest of families manage to squeeze in a take away,

    I can remember the first time my Mam took me to a cafeteria and I had a dinner it was a real treat, and silly as it sounds what was not a favourite meal at home soon became a favourite when dining out simply because it had been served up in a restaurant…in other words everything has become my favourite if someone else has cooked it.

    take care love SusanReplyCancel

    Becca, I just love your website and all the beautiful things you do with Spellbinders. I started buying the medallions because of a card I had seen on your site using the lotus pendant. Your cards really are works of magic and beauty. You definitely are on my top list of blogs to visit as often as I can.
    If I were to be invited out to dinner I would ask for sushi.

    I am a retired critical care nurse of 25 years, had to retire at age 45 because of my own medical problems. I miss it a lot but now I occassionally volunteer at the lovely hospital gift shop.

    I have a small home based business making custom and original handmade greeting cards. Everyone is different so there is no assembly line cards here.

    Thank you for offering this wonderful blog candy. I NEVER win and since I am facing blindness(need urgent surgery) and need urgent tests for a possible C diagnosis I surely could use a pick me up right now…………hugs to you and to the winners on your blog…………dorothy in BC(Canada) by the seaReplyCancel
