Week Notes No. 40: Appetites

By Justin G. on 25JAN30THU

Random food and drink notes from the week.

• bread: Unremarkable standard loaf of bread was baked. I mean it was unremarkable for me, just the usual thing. This same loaf though, I made it a few weeks ago, and I’ve never seen my sister-in-law eat bread, but she had some of that.
• soup: The cozy soups from Rainbow Plant Life look so good. We’ve had good look (batting a thousand so far) with their other recipes.
  • We made the broccoli one (recipe); it’s very good. And the topping, the topping is good too.
• drinks:
  • I tried a Wild Tonic, Blackberry Mint flavor. It’s quite honey forward, rather sweet for my taste. I didn’t get a lot of blackberry or mint either. Too bad; it’s a pretty can.
  • Also had the raspberry goji rose flavor of Wild Tonic. It’s better than the blackberry mint, but is still quite sweet, very honey forward, and not very sour. If that’s your thing, this could be the ‘buch for you. I like mine sour forward.
  • The Recess Lime “Margarita” is ok. Nothing wrong with it, but not what I’m looking for.
  • The Cascade Mountain bubbly water is good. It has tiny bubbles! Carbonated at the factory though.
• A picked up pastel de nata from Pastelaria, and dang were those good. We’ll be going back to try the other offerings.
• It’s no secret that I am a noodle fan. I like the instant kind and the fancy kind alike. The Momofuku sweet and spicy noodles where on the menu this afternoon. Not bad.
