I was supposed to go out with her and her siblings to watch the Broncos get murdered by the Patriots, but I kind of took a nap instead. Unfortunately for Quynh, she’s never run on snow before, and some of the shaded parts of the park still had major snowy areas. It felt great to be active after all of the eats and drinks from the night before. We did a nice and leisurely 3.1 miles in beautiful 55* weather. Perfect night.Īfter sleeping in forever, I picked up Quynh so that we could head to a park and get in an easy run. We also watched way too many episodes of Say Yes to the Dress and were total bums. Germain that I’ve tried so far is really good. Actually, I think just about anything with St. While I don’t usually care for sweet drinks, this one is soooooo good. It tastes kind of like lychee if you’ve ever tried it. The cocktail calls for 2 parts champagne, 1 part St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur (my booze obsession right now), so I brought over a bottle of my favorite bubbly and some club soda for our cocktails. Quynh was able to track down a bottle of St. I’m salivating as I type… Needless to say, we ate the entire pint between 4 of us lol.īacktrack a little bit…after we picked up the ice cream, we headed over to Quynh’s place for some cocktails and chit chat. I know that sounds like an incredibly decadent, rich combo, but it was light and dreamy. It tasted sort of like a creamier Wendy’s Frosty with brownie chunks and a fudge swirl. I don’t even really like chocolate ice cream, but this was incredible. Both were so good, but my favorite was the chocolate, hands down. After drooling over their selection in line, we finally settled on a pint of pumpkin chip and a pint of 16th Street chocolate. They’re known to have some of the best ice cream in Denver, and they also donate a scoop of rice for every scoop of ice cream that they sell through their Scoop for Scoop program (kind of like TOMS). It’s an order-out-only ice cream shop, but it’s so cute! The building is shaped like a giant milk jug! I had another Google deal for Little Man Ice Cream, which was only a (not even) five minute drive away, so we stopped to get a couple of pints to take back for girl’s night in at Quynh’s house. We only ended up spending $6 more than the value of my deal, and we were pretty stuffed. The other stuff was really yummy, too, but the yellowtail was the star of the night. I literally could have eaten an entire platter of just that. Their yellowtail was one of the tastiest I’ve had, and I consume quite a bit of it. Then we ordered their spicy tuna roll and Diablo roll (spicy tuna and avocado inside, seared tuna on top with ginger) as well as some yellowtail and fresh-water eel nigiri. We started off with some of their shiromiso soup and sunomono (seafood and vegetables with a light Japanese vinaigrette).īoth were incredibly light and fresh: the perfect way to start a meal. The restaurant itself was beautiful, with a mixture of modern whites, rustic woods, and just-right lighting. We took advantage of their complimentary valet, and made it to our 6pm reservation right on time.
When I’m in the mood for expensive sushi, I usually head over to Sushi Den, but I heard that this place was really good, and I had a handy Google deal. Nicole and I started off with dinner at Sushi Sasa, one of the pricier sushi joints in Denver. I felt so lazy waking up so close to noon, but it was just one of those weekends, and I needed the shut-eye.Īfter work on Friday, I had a roomie date planned out. I think I’m officially caught up on sleep, considering I slept about ten hours on Friday and Saturday night. I had one of those busy-but-not-really kind of weekends filled with lots of yummy food and a ton of sleeping.
Normally, I would be sad that it’s Sunday, but I get tomorrow off, so I’m pretending that it’s Saturday ? Love you guys.Hello from MIA-land! It’s been one hell of a weekend over here. Besides the food though the people I mentioned in this blog are all 5-stars in my heart. Until then I’m going to leave this at 4 stars. This was some good ice cream but I think I’d have to return a few times to see if it really holds a special place in my heart.
Serve the ice cream upon a sugary tee and let it be the star of the show! And that peanut butter chocolate starred alright. The cone was nothing to write home about but that’s exactly what a cone is there to do. So, you’d be enjoying the chocolate and then bam a peanut butter nugget is entertaining your taste buds. What made this flavor so good was that the peanut butter came in little chunks. However, the first lick of the chocolate peanut butter ice cream had me hooked like the first time I tried soda as a kid. They would have been more than happy to oblige as my friend said she liked chocolate and the server produced all 5 variants in an instant. When I get ice cream, I’m the type of guy who wants to try 4 flavors before deciding what to get.
