Catching Up...

Wow, was February the last time I ACTUALLY posted? I guess this is my catching up post...cause it is not like I STARVED for the past six months...

I've made and tasted some great treats during my "hiatus". Once cold Sunday back in April or so, I made hot chocolate with whipped cream and pocky! Tasty =)

Decadent!

But look what happened to the Pocky after sitting in the cocoa for awhile!

I'm MEELLLLLTTTINNNGGG!

My friends also bought a mini cake that day so we all took pieces from that. It was a chocolate cheescake with raspberry filling...and it was pretty disgusting (this is coming from a person that is not exactly the biggest fan of cheescake, okay).

Yum?

In the spring, my Japanese friend invited us to go with her to Japantown during the cherry blossom festival. It was so much fun just hanging out but she actually treated us to some NOODLES! :)

Notice the arrow? Hmm, guess what I had??

We ate at Mifune as you can see, and I almost wanted to eat the food in the window rather than wait in the line that went out the door. The green cha soba caught my eyes IMMEDIATELY.

MORE FOOD!

After eating, we walked around, watched the parade, went to several stores, and got soft serve. We were all tired coming back (probably cause we were so soporific from all the food we ate), but my friend's mom was quick to treat us with some other Japanese treats like kopeito, custard...

Custard :)

...and almond cookies. We even got to take some home!
