Flavor themes of the week: coffee, cauliflower, seltzer, croissants.

White Noise.  Iced latte and black sesame and milk frozen yogurt swirl fantasticness.

Home coffee for the week.  Starbucks espresso roast with chocolate milk.

Breads Bakery.  Smoked cheddar croissant.

Orwashers.  Almond and chocolate croissant.

Yogurt bowl.  2% Fage with pomegranate, golden raisins, and luxardo cherries.

Snack time.  Soursop yogurt drink / red walnuts and marcona almonds with rosemary / pinata apple.

Kakigōri from a pop-up at Canal Street Market.  Japanese-style shave ice with black currant chocolate sauce, smoked almonds, and torched meringue.  Toasted meringue is one of my all-time favorite flavors.

Luke’s Lobster.  Lobster rolls taste like butter squared.

Pelicana.  Korean fried chicken is the best fried chicken, period.

Not a winner dinner.  Cauliflower rice / sauteed bok choy with rice vinegar / ground turkey sauteed with chopped kimchi and gojuchang / soft boiled egg.  This had so much potential but I ended up stopping halfway through and eating fried chicken leftovers instead.

Another night we were supposed to have cauliflower soup for dinner but I couldn’t deal with the blender so at the last minute I ended up making… whatever the hell this is.  At least it was tasty!  Sauteed yellow onion and leeks with celery seed and smoked paprika / roasted cauliflower / turkey bacon / sharp cheddar.

Have a great weekend!
