Doner Yum

I did mention I was on a diet, right? I sure am posting a lot about food! Anyway, Clarke and I went to this German beer garden in Leesburg, VA the other day. We went there a few weeks back for his brother in laws birthday party and we were excited to go back again. The place is called Done Bistro.

What we got is called a Doner Box. Here is a little blurb from their site: "Döner meat and Pommes - our hand cut signature fries- topped with our garlic-yoghurt sauce with fresh cucumbers (Tzatziki)."


Look at these cool walls!

New Drink

Check this drink out? It had all these seeds floating around and we had to try it out! Gosh I think it was 4 dollars. 

I hated it! Yuck! I have never liked pulp in my orange juice, why did I think I would like seeds floating around and shooting down your throat!?

New York June 2011 Part Two

One of the coolest times of the trip was waking up some what early and going next door to the hostel to the little coffee shop and just sit there and talk to Kal. Here are a few snap shots from that. I think it is called Cafe Orwell.

Holly

Another great breakfast spot the gang all stopped at was Juliette. Thank you Robyn for the suggestion. It was very nice and felt fancy even though we were sitting on the sidewalk.

I'm not sure what this but it was good and I ate it.

After brunch smoke, as you do

Weiner Cheesers

One of my favorite things to do when I go visit my parents in PA is going to the local farmers market. It is similar to the Philly market but less overwhelming and more down home if you will. There are Amish families that have stands.

My favorite Amish treat. I think they call them little cheesers?

Decadent Desserts

Here are some gorgeous and YUMMY desserts I have taken pictures of over the past few months.  OH MY OH MY

Franklin Fountain -Philadelphia, PA
Clarke got the Mt. Vesuvius and I got the The Franklin Mint. They both were incredible in person. After tasting both we agreed the Mt. Vesuvius was the yummiest BUT the detail on that Franklin Mint is amazing, isn't it? Clarke likes to watch many of the restaurant shows on TV and always has great places for us to try out when we travel around.  Menu NOTE: You really only need to order one sundae for two people but we didn't want to try just one!


Random Pub - London, England
Sticky Toffee Pudding Oh man, oh man, right? If you ever do travel to England, you know they all say make sure you get a pint? or fish and chips? Well what they should be saying is get a sticky toffee pudding. (Note: Pudding means dessert over there)


9:30 Club - Washington, DC
The 9:30 club cupcake is amazing but apparently its the people over at the Buzz Bakery that actually makes the treat.


The Melrose Hotel, Washington DC
My company is very kind and lets me stay in a hotel once in awhile when I am working in DC. The room service lava cake. SO GOOD. Not the best photo or the best looking but trust me in person it is perfection.

Summer Foods

So I have been on a diet for about 3 months now and I am happy to report it has been going very well. You will also notice in the picture a can of diet dr. pepper. This has saved my life during the dieting process. I have always hated diet soda BUT this one I can do.


Ingredients: Cherry tomatoes, roasted corn, salt, pepper, rice vinegar

Cupcakes by me

Just wanted to share some cupcakes I have made. Listen, I may have started "the cupcake girls" craft group. I do not claim to be magical baker BUT I can assure you I do love a cupcake or two or three...


Easter 2012




For the twins


Terry's Birthday


Not sure who I made these for. Haha


Not a cupcake but a small cake that I made for Lillian.

A few days late and a few years later. Happy 4th of July. This was my contribution to America. I used the store bought little cakes, whipped cream cheese (added sugar), fruit on top, and finished off with some whip cream.



magical, i know.
