August 13-14, 2022 - Lovely 'Matoes

Read the title like you're singing lovely ladies from les mis. Here's some stuff I ate this weekend

Poke Bowl from Hilo at R. House

Spicy Hawaiian. Not the best poke ever, but still poke so good. I had to pull out some of the jalapeno chunks bc too spicy for me

Sausage Sandwich from 29th St Tavern

Funny to call it a sausage sandwich, right? Like...not just sausage? But that's what the menu said. Pretty good! It had chili on top but not too much so it was easy to eat. We went to 29th St Tavern bc I wanted a chicken tenders basket but they don't have that there. I have made this mistake before but maybe now that I'm blogging it I will remember. What a shame bc it really seems like they would have them there and it would be so convenient.

Oatmeal and Summer Jam from Ceremony

I went to Ceremony early this morning to do some work. Felt just like law school. I got lemony coconut oats and one of the seasonal drinks called summer jam. The oats were a big disappointment. Not really any flavor. And I think I just don't really like cold oatmeal. But the texture is how I like it so I ate a couple bites and brought the rest home to try to make it better (will add more lemon zest and coconut syrup and maybe even some salt...we'll see). The drink was soooo good, though. It is: iced oat milk latte shaken with hibiscus and raspberry preserves, topped with candied hibiscus flower. All of their seasonal drinks sound so good. I didn't really read them all before I ordered because I felt like I had to hurry, but maybe I'll go back a couple times this week or something while I'm working on my next brief.

Tomato Toast

I bought a baguette at Eddie's this morning. Poured olive oil on it, toasted it in a pan. Mozzarella, local tomato, salt, pepper, dried basil. Delish! Great tomato. I bought like 4 and I am so excited to keep eating them. I feel like this year I have thought a lot about summer tomatoes but not actually eaten very many so gotta get em in before the season's over.

Summer Everything Salad

I couldn't quite figure out what I wanted to put in this salad so I put a bunch of stuff. Lettuce, cucumber chunks, the last of the blackberries from last weekend (5 berries in each salad), a white peach, mozzarella, the rest of the tomato I cut up for my toast, some red onion I pickled earlier today. Salt, pepper, some of the pickle liquid, olive oil. Turned out great! But I used up the entire container of lettuce I bought for lunches so now I gotta go back to the store.
