Look Ma! No Kids!

Brett and I actually got out on a little spontaneous date for the 9th annual Taste of Walnut Creek event. It was a gorgeous night, and we walked the downtown with my mom and Neil, visiting the participating resteraunts for samples off their menus. I didn't expect it to be so fun! We found a few new favorite spots to visit--an amazing gelateria that would rival any I've been to in Italy , and a cool dive called Tomy Tims that served coconut shrimp, skewered chicken, and mai tais. mmmm. SushiGroove was also very cool, hip atmosphere and yum sushi ... and a killer happy hour with $3 cosmopolitans!

Eating our way through Walnut Creek



The can you see with the gelato is a can of Milo... a drink apparently sold here (I'm so excited!) but I had only found it in Australia previously as a mix, like Nestle Quick. It is a kind of chocolate malt, but I LOVE the way the store displays their gelato, with cool 3 dimensional objects--like a bar of chocolate for chocolate or an actual mango for mango.
