Last week started off with doughnuts.
Homemade doughnuts.
Homemade doughnuts that my mom made, from a recipe she found on Fridgg.
They were wonderful. ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~
Monday was my mom’s birthday! All three of us kids took her out for Mexican food at her favorite local Mexican restaurant.
I had fish tacos (meh) and enchilada soup (so good).
Son got our usual go-to order of sweet and spicy shrimp.
~~~~~~~~~~
Normally I work from home, but Wednesday I had to be out, and I realized last-minute that I needed something for lunch.
Long story short, I’m now kind of obsessed with those new Starbucks Thai peanut chicken wraps. I wasn’t expecting much (because refrigerator case food? … bleh.), but these are actually really freaking delicious.
~~~~~~~~~~
Happened to be in the area, so we stopped by Padua Pasta Makers, which I’ve been wanting to try since they opened. The antipasta salad was delicious! Definitely want to try some of their fresh pastas one of these days.
~~~~~~~~~~
Son’s dad wanted to go try a snail place in Little Saigon, so we headed down there yesterday.
Yes, you heard me right, SNAILS.
They’re cooked in a coconut broth, and they’re SO GOOD.
That is, if you can get them out of their damn shells.
I was kind of obsessed with the grilled squid.
The grilled scallops were good, too.
Ginormous peppery snails.
Of course, being in Little Saigon, we had to go get all the other good Vietnamese foods we can’t get elsewhere… so of course we bought banh mi, chicken curry, and plenty of tropical fruits (jackfruit! durian!).
~~~~~~~~~~
Have a wonderful week!

The last two weeks in my world (I really should just start calling this “Biweekly Wanderings” at this point…!):
Son’s dad sent home a TON of Vietnamese braised pork belly. So good with pickled bean sprouts.
Justified a four mile run by going to Five Guys for bugers and fries. 😀
Pickled jalapeños + lemon zest + paprika + mayo + Dijon mustard + salt + pepper + fried onions = BOMB deviled eggs.
Made these hot cross buns for Easter.
Son has challenged me to run a one-hour 10k a year from now. o_0 So of course my legs decide that now would be an excellent time to start cramping every time I run!
My everyday lunch.
OMG Tillamook White Chocolate Lemon Curd ice cream bars. The latest food love in my life.
~~~~~~~~~~
Links I’ve loved lately:
This black sesame cappuccino sounds amazing.
I’m pretty sure Son would flip over these gochujang pigs in a blanket!
Black. sesame. mochi. ice cream. The two Asian dessert things I adore most, in one ice cream!
These curry sweet potato fries with miso gravy. They’re vegan so they must be healthy, right? 😀
Interesting article about a sushi bar in Tokyo.
