Lunch in Berkeley -- with Parking?!

We'd been told several times that we should go to Vik's Chaat Corner in Berkeley, but we'd never been able to find it before. With the wonders of the internet, we finally located it (first miracle), and there was a parking lot for it (second miracle), and there were actually free spaces in the parking lot at 12:30pm on a weekday (third, and most amazing miracle). It was a sign. Here is Will showing off his choices for dessert (just the right size for dessert!).
It's housed in a warehouse and frequented by plenty of local business types and students. I was self-conscious about our large brood (unseemly for the Bay Area these days), but there were plenty of other kids. And the nice Indian man who sat next to us was thrilled that our kids were chowing down on the food. He pointed them out to his family "Look at the kids who eat Indian food!" We didn't tell him that they eat most anything put in front of them. Today Sebastian was talking to Joss and he said "Joss, right now you just eat yellow milk, but pretty soon you can eat lots of good food! I eat salad and it makes me big! Now I am a big brother and you are my tiny baby brother." Amen.

That's an adorable photo.

We love Vic's.

My kids do not eat everything placed in front of them by any stretch, but it was a victory last week when Isaac finally found some menu items he would touch at our favorite local Japanese place (sweet and sour chicken appetizer, tempura appetizer, ramen) and last night Henry was really relishing his artichoke -- so we have some food victories mixed in with our heavy reliance on microwaved frozen corn dogs.

love that Will! Salutations from Johannesburg's lovely (and now boring) airport. Been here for 6 hours, boarding for London in another 2...
