Last night Ben and I headed to Downtown Disney to meet up with my fam.downtown disney

It was Matt’s birthday and he chose to have his birthday dinner at Rainforest café (I think it’s the 4th year in a row now!). rainforest cafe

Unfortunately, that place was PACKED and there was a problem with getting seated that resulted in a longer wait than was quoted. We messed around in the store for a long time waiting and waiting and waiting.IMG_3438 (600x800)IMG_3440 (800x600)

Fortunately, the manager realized the error and sent two HUGE appetizer plates for us to share when we finally got a table! The service completely made up for the error Smile Apparently we can be bought with mozzarella sticks – any takers?appetizer plate

Ben and I sat across from the birthday boy and his friend. It made for some less than stellar pictures, but fun conversation.Eleven year olds have a lot of opinions on black holes, aliens and airplanes! I learned a lot!me and ben

Michael and Heather joined in the fun Smile My brother’s ‘stache isn’t this creeptastic in person. Swear.IMG_3457 (800x600)

Ben wanted in on the creeper pic too I guess…IMG_3458 (800x600)

I ordered the macadamia nut crusted tilapia with coconut shrimp. I’m not a big fan of shrimp so I shared those with Ben. But the tilapia was AMAZING.macadamia nut tilapia

I also jacked some of Ben’s fajitas. They were adequate, but we didn’t expect much considering the place.IMG_3461 (800x600)

When someone orders a Volcano cake the waiters bring it out screaming, “VOLCANOOOOOO!!!!” The entire time we were eating Matt stopped what he was doing hoping it was his volcano when it came out of the kitchen. Who am I kidding? So did I.rainforest cafe volcano cake

Finally his birthday volcano arrived!  I ate it. Not all of it, but I put a BIG dent. Trust. Everyone else (besides me and Matt) was too full from their dinner to help us attack it. Party poopers. More for me.volcano cake

I got home way past my bed time and had to force myself out of bed for boot camp. I headed home for French Toast after Smile IMG_3493 (600x800)

  3. Long-time reader, first-timer commenter! LOVE myself a good chocolate chip cookie, or maybe a few. Even if they are not that great, I tend to keep ‘sampling’.

  10. I love all cookies but my favorites are white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies or chocolate chip cookies….but they must be soft/gooey! Crunchy cookies are blasphemous.

  12. Happy Birthday to Matt! His birthday dinner looked like fun. I’m a simple oatmeal raisin girl…oh who am I kidding I just saw white chocolate macadamia in the comments. Those are to die for!

  21. That cookie company is adorable! As far as my favorite cookie, it’s between oatmeal raisin, coffee toffee bars (family recipe…mmmmm) and my grandmother’s “gramma cookies” which are chocolate chip walnut oatmeal. Who can really pick one favorite cookie type?!

  31. Looks like you all had a great time. I think it is so awesome that you’re so close to your little brother despite the age difference. My brother is 6.5 years older and I feel we never got to know each other until we got much older.

    And Choatmeal Toffee sounds like a winner!

  41. If I can only pick one cookie, I guess I’d go with oatmeal coconut chocolate chip lemon date raisin pumpkin pecan cranberry almond sugar-coated sugar cookies.

  50. ahhh lucky i miss disneyland.. we use to go every year but haven’t the last few…. and my fav cookie is peanut butter.. but also choco chip so i think i would want to try to combine the two!!

  56. Cookies are kind of my thing, so it’s hard to pick just one favorite. If you’re going to make me pick, I’d probably have to go with plain, old chocolate chip.

  70. Anything with chocolate! I think my most favorite have to be monster cookies though – oats, butterscotch chips, mms, sometimes even pretzels – so good!

    Reply

  71. I’m in love with this idea! I might make some jars of my own for my friends 🙂 I love ANY cookie with an oatmeal base, and add a few milk chocolate chips and mac nuts and I’m in heaven!

    Reply

  72. The classic chocolate chip cookie wins me over time and time again. Any cookie will do so long as there are no raisins in it.

  94. I’m not good at making my own, (I fail at Mongolian BBQ every time) so I would have someone else do it for me. I like mint and chocolate or peanut butter/chocolate combos.

  99. Lofthouse cookies- apparently one can be bought by mozzarella sticks or storebought cookies! 🙂

    My real and true favorite though is a monster cookie my mother-in-law makes only at Christmas- hershey’s bar chunks, chocolate chips, nuts, oats… lots of butter and brown sugar… we calculated one year: each cookie is 350 calories… with a glass of milk it’s our favorite holiday lunch! 🙂

  102. Just call me the cookie monster! I have met very few cookies I don’t like but there are some from a local bakery that get sent to our work on occasion that have chocolate chunks and caramel in them and they are out of this world!

  104. I love the Rainforest Cafe. I’ve visited the one in San Francisco and I felt in love. I feel like such a kid when I go there. Wait, I always feel like a kid at heart. 🙂 My favorite cookie is peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal, with toffee bits if I’m feeling crazy.

  114. Call me boring but there is nothing better than a soft chewy chocolate chipped cookie! I make mine with dark brown sugar to keep them extra chewy!! Yum!

    Okay, and I am now officially jealous after seeing these Mason Jar Cookie Company goodies for the umpteenth time today. They all look and sound SOOO good!

    Favorite cookie? I have no idea how in the world to choose. I’ll have to go with my Heath Bar Crunch cookies. You can never go wrong with Heath bars, right? 🙂
