Grubbing @ the Grub Shack

Last week was a rough week..both Jeff and I were sick...luckily it was on separate days...but, it wiped me out the rest of the week (Wed nite to Friday)!

Since we are both feeling better, we pet our plans to go watch some friends at the CYS tournament...the little kids were playing. Afterwards, we bummed around Oakridge Mall and then headed to an early dinner.

A friend told me about Grub Shack, on Santa Clara and I think Third, near SJSU. It is a tiny place, not suitable for the a ninja team...but they said they are expanding during the day.

I had the GS Special, because I couldn't chose...but, I have boys who can help me eat the food, so all is good. The garlic shrimp was good, Kahn
Au pig had a good flavor and the Mac was homemade...quite yummy.


Jeff had the Cukui Tacos..yes, that is an egg on each taco...he liked it...


Jordan had the Loco Moco. He said the hamburger patty was really good, but, he would rather have brown gravy...


Can you believe Neil ate all three of his sliders and all but a few fries? I think the kid must be having another growth spurt...he loved his Kahlua Sliders!

Happy Early Valentine's Day!

I really need to clean off my work table in my craft room. I found these crystal hearts.

So, while I watch Downton Abbey...I love this show...I decided to put together some Valentine Day earrings! Lucky for me I always have a nice supply of chain, heart chain of course, and earring findings! Purple and pink crystals are also in my supply drawer!

After SEVEN years...

...Jordan is completing his orthodontic treatments! Yeah! To thank Dr Chun and her staff, I made them all scarves...



Unfortunately, Ellen moved away...but we are sending her the red scarf. Without Ellen, Jordan would never have survived making the molds. As it was it took FOUR times!

His last appointment isn't until April, but, I wanted to get them done...they are bagged and just waiting for tags!

Megatron BBQ

So...Jeff's 2013 project...MEGATRON BBQ....sigh, with a name like that I want some good sound effects...but, I guess I will settle for some BBQ, as long as the smoke ring is nice and tasty!

Here are some pictures from today's trial run. We had to cook it today since we are going to Salinas for the Super Bowl...

Neil's 2nd project

Originally, Neil had two projects due on the same day...his Egyptian mask...and his earthquake safe house...both were pretty much done when he found out that he his house was postponed to the following week.



The assignment was to build a house using only toothpicks, and clay. It must be able to withstand an "earthquake".



For lack of a model, Nori II is modeling my new scarf I finished...it is similar to the Sashay scarves, except this "yarn lace" is shorter...it is sparkly but not as soft...

Neil's 1 of 2 projects

Neil has two projects due on Thursday....over the weekend he finished his first project...an Egyptian mask. During class they took turns making the mask...then they were tasked to complete the headdress at home.

Jeff helped him spray paint the mask and cardboard....and he did the rest...cool!

Anyone want a hotdog?

Just to prove we are crazy...Jordan's team has 3 byes...last week, this week and the league has a bye Super Bowl Sunday....so, what do we do? Go see some friends' games...

I think it was Jeff's excuse to eat at this place called Paulie's Franks and Fries...it is across the street from Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose...in a new shopping center called The Plant. I should say HUGE shopping center!

Here is a picture of the BASKET of chili, cheese and bacon fries....it was huge...and about 2 inches deep of fries...




Jeff, Jordan and I had the Pinoy Puppy...fried rice and a sunny side egg...




Nami had the Hipster Dog



Ed came late, but he was happy with his Chicago dog



Happy boys! BTW, Koshi had TWO hotdogs!


Jeff found something for Po to try...the Joey Chestnut dog...a "massive two-foot hot dog"
