California Pizza Kitchen - Frozen BBQ Chicken Pizza

Taste was fine. But it was a very small pizza. We got this on sale and it was $3 but normally costs double. It says 3 servings but it's not. It wasn't enough at all for two.

Our plants

Here are the pics of our plants on the balcony. Can you guess what these are?

pic 3

pic 4

Pic 1 looks like green onion, right? But it's not. This grows very fast.
Pic 2 & 3 looks like some flower, but it's not.
Pic 4 looks like...no idea.

OK, here's the answer. Pic 1 is garlic, pic 2 & 3 is strawberry, pic 4 is carrots.

Cavi Cucina Italiana - Newhall, CA (CLOSED)

Santa Clarita

Cavi Cucina Italiana restaurant in Newhall, CA. Good Italian food, and good service.
I had this very interesting linguine with grapefruit jus sauce. Pasta was harder than usual (but in a good way), once I start eating, I couldn't stop eating. I was just keep going, going, and going... yeah, it was gooood. My husband had this very unique looking pasta, I know, it looks like a insect, but taste was good. My tiramisu was also interesting, instead of using espresso coffee, this tiramisu uses limoncello liquer. They also have regular tiramisu which uses espresso.

Aunt Jemima - frozen waffles and pancakes

store bought

Aunt Jemima frozen waffles and pancakes. We don't buy this type of food unless it's on sale and it was on sale, and I wanted to try them since I never tried Aunt Jemima frozen products. Yeah, it's my first time Aunt Jemima! I think each box was 75 cents after using coupon. I liked the cinnamon roll pancakes. Each one is very small, but it's ready in 30 secs, and taste is actually good. Waffle was just like other frozen waffles.
