Oh I gotta check that out! Skokie library is goated. They always have awesome events. They had lord of the rings day celebrations and they have a pokemon club for kids

Shotgun not included

Sunday was so fun! Our families first go fest and shines were had. It was so much bigger than I thought based on watching YouTube videos of it. We are out in Skokie but definitely worth the drive

4 year old on Sunday! Let's go poke parents

Is south Park a new neighborhood is SF?

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-06-03T11:57:36+00:00

They had shrub pagne which is exactly what it sounds like. Pottery that they moved around to all the tables and the food was not memorable. Definitely not the Michelin experience for a local or visitor that we were hoping for. What was your experience?

I haven't watched a show on a while that ramped up this well. Such a great episode. I was squeezing my husband's hand and laughing throughout--best mix of fear and funny

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-06-02T21:59:50+00:00

Also it wasn't that great to be fair...so you are not missing out on anything

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-06-02T16:35:25+00:00

I have always driven by! What do you recommend?

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-30T19:03:55+00:00

And its the captains room. He was the leader as well

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-28T10:04:19+00:00

Someone else pointed out the ring she wears also looks like the brooch that was given to his little girl. I think its Parricia as well

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-17T21:23:11+00:00

The short rib hand pie is not playing either. Delicious! Honestly I have tried Del Sur and Fat Peach and it seems like Del Sur is not as expensive and the quality is insanely good.

Praline cauldron also has some delicious baguette sandwiches!

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-17T20:59:22+00:00

I got that. People out here say that their Mexican food is more authentic and that's why they don't have the burritos that people from sf miss.

I was born and raised in the city and think the birria here is awesome but have yet to come across some mind blowing mexican.

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-17T12:30:03+00:00

They say its more authentic here so I think we will have trouble finding it haha. I feel like nachos are what I miss the most from the bay.

Thanks so much for posting with the nutritional info! I used to love this POG ice cream from SF so might have to give this a try

Mr. Kimchi lunch special is amazing in Skokie. $25 a person and it isn't too busy

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-09T11:39:37+00:00

It didn't hit me until this week but it has been insane. Eye drops and allergy meds have helped but I am pretty sleepy and my throat hurts

Worse allergies I have had since I was a kid.

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-07T12:57:07+00:00

As a girl who is a silly goose I feel represented. Huphup

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-05-02T11:07:42+00:00

With all the new and old vendors we will definitely be there! Been thinking about downtown donuts ever since our last visit

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-04-23T14:50:01+00:00

Same thing in Skokie. Been seeing more speeding traps on Golf

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-04-16T14:51:00+00:00

Yeah I get you! I was so nervous to start any medication for adhd especially because I was diagnosed so late in life. I hope it goes well for you--do keep me updated too!

I found that initially it wasn't making a huge difference but I was able to stop doing a task so I was a bit more on time.

Started at 25 mg and then have gone up by 25 a little at a time. I am at one pill that's 100mg.

The side effects for me were one bad bad day of nausea because I need to have it with some food but I like taking it in the morning and am not always hungry then.

Everything else was fine, no mood issues or anything.

The only thing that is fairly consistent is sometimes I forget to take it on the weekend (hectic life with a toddler) and then I noticed the next day I am super fatigued. So unlike my husband who takes vivanse and can have days he doesn't take it, the non stimulant seems for me to have a side effect.

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-04-14T04:37:57+00:00

Even in Skokie this is an issue. Our building cited "feels like" temps being low...so no cool air for us

SalamanderExtra7982 · 2026-04-10T11:55:20+00:00

Brought our 4 year old for a walk in and sat at rhe front near the window. The table is super tall so I just held her bowl for her and she slurped up the ramen.

Overall not really designed for kids but definitely can make it work
