So many things to celebrate this week, the eclipse and Rex Manning Day were both on Monday. We are on vacation starting tomorrow and I am READY – it took a lot of little treats (TM) to get through this week.
Some highlights…
This week’s yogurt combo – plain skyr, giant blackberries, and cookie dough granola.
I brought this birthday cake drink syrup back from my trip to Kingston. Not bad but too fruit-forward for my tastes. I tried it in iced coffee, iced matcha, lemon seltzer, and diet coke.
Chocolate-covered frozen cheesecake bites (9/10).
Dark chocolate peanut butter bites (10/10). <– I can’t remember where I found these but I would rebuy if I found more.
Our King’s does a fantastic chocolate cake with ganache, marshmallow, and cookie dough (11/10).
A Moon Pie to celebrate the eclipse. All I could find last-minute was a protein bar Power Pie which was actually delicious.
And I, of course, celebrated Rex Manning Day with pizza, brownies, and an Empire Records rewatch.
Roast’s special of the week – brisket, mac and cheese, crispy onions, and bbq sauce on a roll.
Homemade veggie and meatball bowls. Roasted cabbage, baby cauliflower, Japanese sweet potato, and red bell pepper / turkey meatballs with panko, fish sauce, half and half, ginger, urfa chili, gochugaru, and egg / peanut sauce with chunky peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, sesame oil, sugar, and warm water / green onions and sesame seeds.
