Cravings for New Year’s

Mom asked me to make her some tea tonight to help her relax. I told her the water was in the micro and then forgot all about it. Le whoops? Like twenty minutes later, she was like “where’s my tea and chocolate cake?” Uh… We don’t have any cake in the house. :-P She said she was craving a really good gooey chocolate cake, which is surprising given she doesn’t usually like those too much. :-P

Anywho… One conversation led to another. We started planning a little treat for ourselves for New Year’s Eve. She suggested driving to Claim Jumpers to pick up their HUGE chocolate cake to enjoy over the holiday. Mmmm… The funny thing about talking about cravings is you remember other cravings. And we both agreed. We MISSED Persian food.

In Anaheim, we used to go to Hatam’s Restaurant. They’re pricey, but oh so good. And I do mean soooo goooood. Their serving sizes were pretty big too; even I made my meal last for at least two servings. Delicious meat (filet mignon or ground beef strips) with roasted tomato and this white rice with saffron on top…. And then there was the oh-so-tasty appetizer…cucumber yogurt with mint…

Yeah, Mom and I were drooling over the menu tonight, looked it up online. If it’s open, we’re thinking about ditching the cake in favor of the food. We can get our sugar fix anywhere. Heck, we just had a treat with Christmas cookies baked by Debbie and I had my Pizzookie a couple weeks ago! :-P So, yeah… We’re gonna see about treating ourselves… We don’t splurge often…or ever unless you count cheap junk food? Mom even suggested inviting Dad to treat him or see if there’s a local Persian place he might know of…. We’ll see.

Okay, so this celebration might not take place ON New Year’s Eve or the day (cuz the place might be closed), but I’ve got my plans sorted… Hope everyone else has good plans to look forward to. :-D
