Cute Crazy

I wanted this because it was cute

Cute is the new reason for consuming anything!

Girly

Girly

Yet Yummy


And Sweet


These were good days

Very High

Very High in carb because it bulgar wheat mixed with mashed potato and butter

With one of the most delicious salads because of the dressing

Cute

Irish Creams, hot chocolate, coffees and things
First I love the little cups
I loved the Irish Creams
Loved the froth

Loved the cinnamon on top

Love the cuteness


Loved the company

Sweet stuff

The details


The fun

The laughter

For Lindeman's
Shiraz Cabernet
Came highly recommended

I agree
Now I am fully into red wine.
Have it with friends though :)

Do fun things with it

Home Made

Flory made some bread a while ago
It was yummy
SHe made it in a bread maker.
I may try and make some again....
From Scratch
D and I were talking about the best bread we ever had.
The best bread I ever had was bread that Auntie Ruby made in Tobago in the outdoor clay oven.
O

Goodness

I have never tasted such fluffy, flaky goodness, again in my life.
No sense in trying to recreate it either.
I don't think I have the patience.
Maybe one day soon, when I can stand to know there is bread rising for an hour, punch it down and let it rise again before cutting and baking
Maybe one day!
I also think she added corn flour
There was an indescribably slight graininess to it as well
Oh BREAD I miss you!

Eating

I have been feeling ill these days whenever I prepare meat.
It's strange
I know I still like it
I just don't feel for it as much
Sometimes I go on a binge and just eat it all up
These days I just prefer not to.
I eat a lot of sweet peas...
Mainly because I think they look cute on my plate
What a reason to eat a food.

Cookbook

I bought this book as a present. I got two FYI.
One for Nik and one for sis
Sis forgot to take hers

I found it beside my bed yesterday :(
Its actually very cute.
I learned how to cook with miso and I am going to try it with eggplant.

Mac and cheese and lavosh

Ok this actually is the best mac and cheese I have ever tasted (thanks to the Truffle oil and assorted cheeses)
But I can't have more than a couple spoonfuls per night

The Lavosh was good and included ck

These foccacia were yummy as well

Friend made me dinner

Wow it was so good

Caramelized onions (I didn't eat), ground beef, Raisins, rice, etc.

Also relatively fast to make.

I really enjoyed this meal and the company.

Cocktails

Mine was made with lychee
I didn't like lychee when I had it in Trini

This was delicious though!

All different

This was a little bit of a departure.
I had the same in Frankenmuth a few years ago.

Sauerkraut is just so tart that it overpowers everything sometimes
Mmmm
Maybe I will have sauerkraut today!

Informal dinner

This was really cool and cute!

A potluck with different dished and great company

Yummy!

Pastry

I had to do this
There was a pastry shop right around the corner

I kept passing by

One day I had to stop in and I had to get something :)

A meal

I like fried fish and rice and soup
Here it is
Fried fish


Rice

Soup

Where they say fuggedaboudit!

This purely Italian street there
We all had dessert

Cake and zabaglione.

The cake was good, not the zab
I was really disappointed in the zab :(

Sounds like Morma

It was a cool restaurant at Le Parker
I really adored going there.

They gave us these fruit smoothies that were divine...
Then our meals...

I liked the sweet stuff better than the savory which I ordered but both dishes were really rich...

Oh my goodness! Norma's!

Kinda fancy

These things were alright, but I dunno if it was worth the money...

In fact I dont think it was worth it.
I like the presentation

I like the colors

Ironically with all the fancy, my favorite thing to eat was french fries covered in this special seasoning salt (may have been a paprika Lowry's though).

Pizza

One of the best tasting pizza crusts I have ever eaten was from this 'dive' on some obscure street, sandwiched in between a pawn shop and a garage maybe.

But this was one of the best slices of pizza I have ever had.

Best meal

This was so yummy and so cheap and so good..
IKEA I give you props.

It was warm, filling, tasty, scrumptious
I could not believe I was sitting in the IKEA warehouse having one of the best meals I had on this trip.
Still can't believe it!
It was also very carby and not vegetarian....

Vegetarian and good

I liked this a lot.
But I think I can cook eggplant to make it tastier in general.

After all the eggplant I have eaten these past few months...
I know I can do it.
I have tried so many different recipes at home.

Cake red

I just had to

But I didn't eat the icing...
Kudos for me :)

Museum Tiramisu

It was good when I could get some of it!

Very creamy very good I am going to learn to make this on my own
Its generally so over priced I can't stand it!

Tea time

Having tea and conversation in a ritzy yet comfortable atmosphere is always fun and relaxing at the same time.

I adore the atmosphere.

I didn't drink any tea.

Just liked the company.

Not my favorite textures

Though this restaurant came highly recommended (KashK so I remember the name), it wasn't my favorite food. The wine was superb, but the texture of the meal was so 'goopy' for want of a better word, that I bowed out on a great opinion.

The atmosphere was nice and conducive to talking, but the service at the end of the night was not great.
I wish it had all been better.
Maybe I will try it one more time.

Fancy lunchy

First time I visited this place.
I really liked the service an the food was ok.
Good I think
Maybe I have to go again.

I think one of my criteria for rating the food will now be how well they can create a vegetarian dish.

I am not vegetarian but I don't mind having vegetarian meals.
Its not a strong suit of some restaurants however.
If they can do THAT well, you know the meat dishes will be superb because they actually care about the taste of the food.

Drinky

Beer samplers
Berry weiss

Chimay
yummy

Brunch

Brunch has hit a new high
French Pastries in a cute patisserie :)
Guava cheese brioche

creme brulee
Tiramisu
Coffee

The Best

Pricey and worth it.
That salad was heavenly.

It was a Cobb salad with pressed eggs (hold the bacon), avocado, and tomatoes.

Wow!
Cheese came later

All of it was vegetarian

Desserts desserts

Everyone knows I love some cakey :)

Desserts with friends are the best way to spend some spare time

Love it

Love it

Love it

Best Fries

Sweet Potato Fries.
Oh Sooo good

A good vegetarian option but very carby, so eat sparingly.
By sparingly I mean once in a long while.

When the fries are done frying, drain them, add salt, a little pepper and some brown sugar (while warm).
mmmmmmmmm
Heavenly!

Kickin it

When you're chillin with your girly friend, watching CUBE...
Get the cake

Get the chocolate

Get the strawberries
Have a free for all
Life seems better! :)

Not my favorite

I thought the food at this place may have been better.
I thought when I got there that it may be good.

When I tasted the dishes, I was a little bit disappointed.

Portobello

I like Portobello Mushrooms and I hope I spelled that correctly.
The only thing that vaguely concerns me is the mouth feel.
It feels like you are eating a piece of meat when you are chewing.

That's not my favorite feeling when I am eating something that I know is NOT meat.
I sauteed these, added dill and a pinch of salt.
They were delicious
With sweet peas
