Last month I had the pleasure of tasting a TimTam, a chocolate covered malted biscuit originally from Australia, which is full of pure amazingness. The perfect crunch of biscuits, the way the chocolate slowly melts… I really want another pack now. Sorry to hype it up so much, I’m just such a big fan of them now!
The only place I know of now of where to find these Australian biscuits year round is the food section at Cost Plus World Market where they come in at $3.99 USD about $1.50 …

Watching the 2010 Winter Olympics definitely got me interested in the niche sport of Curling. I got hooked on it and wanted to try it out myself. Only problem is that I don’t have the brooms, shoes, or rocks, not to mention a curling sheet.

For the newbies to curling, which I would expect it to be most of us, Anaheim …

After exiting the 91-motorway,  you can find yourself in a quaint little courtyard at the Villa del Sol center where a most unusual shop can be found.  Specializing in goods from the land of the Beatles,  Harry Potter, and James Bond, the British Grocer in Downtown Fullerton stocks it’s shelves full of British sweets and necessities.
Upon entering the shop, you’re greeted by shelves of sweets, tea sets, and the owner of the store, an old British lady whose voice made me smile and think of the memories of when I …

The feeling of air going through your hair, the rush of a turbo, and the force of taking a turn – ahh…the sensations that driving a car can give you. Don’t you just love ‘em?
Cars are such a big part of our lives, especially here in Orange County, that I’m really happy that we are a center for anything regarding the automobile – from being HQ to some car companies like Kia and Mazda, and to holding some great weekly events like Cars and Coffee.
Well, we have two more events …

Wall graphics are cool little things aren’t they. They’re like huge post-its except not yellow, not made of paper, and you can’t really write on them. BUT you can peel and stick to your heart’s content just like a super long lasting post-it. Do those sound cool or what? Well of course they do! Who doesn’t want a giant plastic post-it?
Anyways, as you’ve probably guessed by the title of this post that we have another contest and we’re giving away… you guessed it – wall graphics. Two of them to …

Ahh…polaroid photos. Press a button. You’re blind for a split second, then you start flailing your arms everywhere. It’s a process that we’ve seen people do and have done ourselves many times.
Sadly, Polaroid stopped producing their beloved instant cameras in 2007 and will stop producing their instant film this year. (the 600 series is supposedly going to expire today!) There is a chance for you to relive those moments and also the moments of hundreds of others.
