forestofgloryOne of my favorite things about urban living is the great variety of food available for purchase. So for today's observations I thought I'd tell you about some recent exciting things that I ate.
A new cupcake shop opened up near us! They have exciting filled cupcakes. (Cupcakes with a bit taken out of the center and replaced with frosting or jam or somesuch) They have very cute cupcake tier towers, and many many flavors. I got a key lime pie cupcake. It was vanilla cupcake with a graham cracker crust, with lime curd filling and cream cheese frosting. It was so, so delicious!
Since the covid numbers have been good, I have resumed my monthly dinners with my parents. Before the pandemic we would go out to actual restaurants, but since the pandemic we have been getting take out and eating on their back porch. Last month we had Japanese food which was delightful. And this month it we'll have our dinner after the time change so it should still be light out!
We have had lunch at the Public Market twice in the last month or so. This is a fancy food hall near us. There's a bunch of small restaurants inside a high ceilinged building, and you go and order an pick up at the counter. They have outdoor seating set up now, so you can sit and eat outside at a safe distance. The kid always gets a milkshake and fries, R gets BBQ, and I generally get ramen. I don't eat pork but the place at the market has chicken broth based options, which are very tasty. I frequently get the butter corn add on --which is what it sounds like, butter and corn in the soup. The last time we went I tried the rice bowl form the ramen place. It was very good, but I think I'll get the ramen again next time. Its so comforting and filling!
Also at the public market I happened to pass by a stand selling macaroons, and impulse bought a dozen! The where very good but a dozen was too many. So the next time I less impulsively bought six. They have all kinds of flavors, churro, jasmine tea, chocolate, strawberry, to name just a few.
