On friday we were both craving chinese food so we drove to our favorite place 20 minutes north and chowed down. Their portions are ginormous and its always fresh and not greasy tasting (chinese food can be so scary). I could probably eat their fried rice everyday.
Later friday I remembered one of the frozen yogurt places nearby starting serving pineapple dole whip (the kind you can usually only find at disney parks or hawaii). Just one little google search will show you that people go CRAZY for this stuff! Me and josh were so fascinated by the cult following it has plus it sounded really good so we got some! It was my first time trying it and i have to say: It definitely lives up to the hype. It's SO refreshing (and dairy free!). We even got some to-go to keep in our freezer. When we got home I was already looking up where I could buy the concentrate so I could make it all the time. Have you ever had it?? If not and there's a Menchies frozen yogurt chain in your area, chances are they have it. You HAVE to try it!
Saturday I somehow convinced Josh to go grocery shopping with me (love when that happens), we walked to get some coffee and then took a long nap. We also made these buffalo baked pickle chips and they were really good!
And today (which is technically the start of our work week) we picked up a donut from the cutest little shop, Coco donuts. It's a coffee shop also and I have a feeling we'll be frequenting this place quite a bit. Lavender latte anyone?? And also rose water latte?? Excited to have found you Coco donuts!
And that was our weekend! I guess it all revolved around food but most good weekends do right?? ;)
Only a couple days left in april! Hope they treat you well!
What a lovely weekend! I live about five minutes away from a menchies and I am seriously hoping they have pineapple dole whip. I always get it at Disneyland. Can't wait to go and find out.

What a great weekend! I'm going to have to go to Coco Donuts! It sounds wonderful! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been to Portland only once, and tried Coco, and loved it! My husband and I will be in town in a week and we'll be trying Salt & Straw because I saw it here. Have you by chance tried Blue Star? We want to maybe try different donuts this time, but aren't super into the idea of Voodoo.

What's the good Chinese place called?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, it sounds like a great weekend! Please go back and tell us how the rose water latte is - I've always wanted to try something flavored with rose water but can never find anything!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I totally have to checkout Menchies. I've never had the famed dole whip, but I've always wanted to. Mu husband and I have walked past Coco donuts a few times and now I know I have to go in. Lavender latte!? OH yeah...
ReplyDeletelove, love, love the dress!!!mind if I ask where you got it?

Well this just looks like the most perfect weekend! I am envious of that frozen yoghurt. The UK NEEDS to get on board the froyo train!!
