It's week 36 in 3rd trimester. Either we are waiting for ordered items to arrive or we are still filtering out what's deemed necessary or otherwise redundant. 

All the baby items bloggers written about make comparison among the items an easy task. If you really take the time to surf and search, then search you shall find. 

Baby is coming, you are excited, I get it, we parents-to-be are infected with 1st born buying craze syndrome. You not only need a big wheeled all terrain stroller that has the baby sits high but you also need a smaller collapsible one so you could steer clear of the traffic, and oh, a stroller that can be carried on board and be stored in the overhead cabinet in a breeze is just so cool. Though I myself had deliberately ignored advices many a times what not to buy, I am here alerting all parents-to-be to think, not twice, but as many times as necessary befor purchase.

We were quite happy when we finally decided VOX from Poland as the bed of choice for Mabel, now that we made the purchase and the bed had set sail, we are not so sure if we need the bed...... In many cases, more info was gathered after the purchase. And that's exactly what happened here. We saw quite a few posts with Moms confessing bed is a waste of money since parents are all too quick to grab baby out of its crib and hold the baby trying to calm away the crying, baby often use crying as a way to be in the same bed as Mom and Dad. 

Don't get me wrong, VOX is quality stuff, bed can be turned into a small padded bench and a study or playtime desk after Mabel outgrows the bed. 

One item we are still struggling with is swaddle. Why do most of the swaddles & burp blankets made outside of the U.S. is beyond me. I understand non-textile items being made in non-developed countries mostly because the production process pollutes the environment and, of course, for the sweat shop. Baby clothing is so much more intimate though, it's something that touches baby's skin and we parents shouldn't accept cutting corners and cheap measures to save a few bucks. Craftsmanship and earth-friendly production process are more important than turnaround time and labor cost. I am just saying.

Speaking of earth-friendliness, after we strolled around for baby items, we thought why not give Herban a go, since we are just a few blocks away. 

早早就想到訪二本，因為幾次光顧好友的Ombré都覺得對面好熱鬧

怎麼可以素食餐酒的這麼嗨！

說是素食但還是有蛋啦，沒蛋早午餐擺盤太單調

如同茶米一位美籍敘利亞客人，信穆斯林，豬、豬油餐點不碰，雖跟店家百般交代，菜上桌有沒有豬油誰吃的出來?

就算沒放豬油，炒上一道菜難道就沒放豬油？殘餘豬油最後客人還不是吃下肚...

除非，找穆斯林友善的 Halal 認證餐廳就萬無一失

茶米最常帶客人去的是延吉巷弄裡的"清真中國牛肉麵館" 

清真館對茶米也是有不少回憶，洛杉磯"清真馬家館"大滷麵是茶米最愛點的

素食者有分吃蛋或者不吃蛋，吃五辛或者不吃五辛

爬文發現茶米屬於彈性素食主義者 flexitarianism，能吃素就吃，但肉也不排斥。

況且，茶米每天一小時運動很需要補充優質蛋白質，又不偏好吃 dietary supplements，那就還是得靠吃肉攝取

這裡實際空間比網路上照片、窗外往內看要來的小

約莫能坐上20-30人，加上戶外30+沒問題 

裝潢挺隨意，拼拼湊湊，綠意盎然

二本2014開幕那時工業風當道，每間裝潢多少帶一些工業

但工業風到後來虛有其名，實則是店家省裝潢的好伎倆

森林系、溫室餐廳是現下新寵兒

接下來想像進化成室內掛鳥籠來個中國客棧風，也是不錯，名符其實鳥語花香

(擷取自店家粉專)

來這用餐講英文的朋友不少，聽到店員跟外國朋友結帳送客英文很流利

既然是崇尚自然的餐廳，擺飾少不了綠葉盆栽，覺得店家可以再多擺一些

植物做裝飾不太會退流行，大不了定期換季前院、室內、後院植物對調一下

植物不是固定裝潢隨時可以挪移，讓客人來可以感覺好像哪裡不太一樣卻又說不上來

(擷取自素食寶寶)

大辣辣開在大街道上店租貴不說，大家還不一定賞臉

別小看Speakeasy這種隱蔽秘境式餐廳，反而這些玩神秘感讓大家趨之若鶩，若隱若現比全露要來的性感

(擷取自素食寶寶)

60-70年代經典現代感傢俱，永遠不退流行

超級起司三明治 Super Cheesy NT320 (附薯條、番茄濃湯)

綜合起司、馬滋瑞拉、費達、蒜香美乃滋、全麥吐司

Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and feta cheeses with garlic aioli, on whole wheat bread

It is indeed very cheesy, in a good way, of course!

很故意，就是要讓人看到爆起司出來，琪姊吃起司補鈣，很棒

麵粉類少吃，看是全麥就點了

琪姊最近一次產檢被診所體重計嚇到，這幾周都很小心吃

有隨時問琪姊餓不餓，不能餓著，餓了就趕緊找吃的，但一有飽足感馬上就要考慮是否停下

所以就先點一客兩人分著吃，果不然，吃完三明治兩人都差不多了

★★★★★ I want it all! 通通都要! 
★★★★ pretty darn good 挺不錯喔 
★★★ sort of like it 過的去囉 
★★ only if I am hungry 除非很餓 
★ won't see you again... 沒有下次... 

總結: ★★★✭☆ 3顆半星

這天沒履行站在Ombré前所說的下次來Herban一定要邊吃邊下酒嗨嗨的

這次就米琪兩位坐板前高腳椅，有開車當然不能點有酒精的

這裡裝潢除了幾張70年代現代感桌椅，其它地方並不太著墨

廚房板前高腳椅看到後面牆上有不少手繪，讓不知講了多少次要重新提筆的茶米多看幾眼

推動素食理念崇高，但沒肉肉的話，光理念不能支持偏高單價，這裡單價稍嫌高了些

下次來應該就是點下酒菜配酒，不過，很難想像，沒海鮮配白酒或肉肉配紅酒，這酒能喝得盡興?

是否能盡興，那就看下次大家有沒有要約這了，說真的，有點難度囉
