Halloween!

Oh Halloween...

For those of you who don't know this is a deadmau5 head (my halloween costume...)
For those of you who do know, yeah BADASS!

Halloween has been hectic and I apologize for the absence of exuberant gastronomic display. No reason to panic for the daily posts will resume, and don't worry they will be worth the wait. The hungrier you are, the better it'll taste!

Cold Stone!

Ice cream is a treat I don't treat myself to enough. If you don't know, Cold Stone mixes ice creams on a cold marble counter top as you order. This gives you the opportunity to be creative and blend flavors together while adding diverse toppings. I try to keep my creations simple.

This here is a blend of chocolate (would have preferred dark chocolate) and sweet cream ice cream, with frozen strawberries mixed in. During a hot Texas afternoon nothing feels better then slowly letting a sweet ice cream concoction melt in your mouth, and that's exactly where Cold Stone put their money.

Algae is... Delicious?

So this was a left over lunch from a previous Japanese restaurant meal. The dish isn't exactly what you would expect from a Japanese restaurant, except one thing. The algae salad. Am I the only one who loves this? It is absolutely one of my most favorite sides, and it can only be found in Japanese restaurants (that I know of...). I need to learn how to make this. So refreshing, so delicious...

There it is on the left! The algae salad, then center in on some fried rice, and finish with some fried chicken breast pieces.

Bitter Sweet Love

Lemon tarts, what a tease. You think its sweet, but it's just slightly bitter. Words just don't do you justice, my love...

A little dessert never hurt anyone right? Not if you been exercising daily! Sometimes, you walk into a bakery and you just can't resist the sweet treats under the flashy lights, it's ok, we have all been there. Just try to keep those bakery visits after hitting the gym.

Sweet and Sweeter!

Sometimes you just need a little sugar rush, and nothing does it like a sweet peach with ice cream.

This time I diverged from my standard vanilla and peach combo to shake things up. Serve up some strawberry ice cream and throw that peach in there. This combo was great, two distinct tastes that share a sweet... well sweetness.

Grimaldi's!

In my opinion the best pizza in the woodlands is from Grimaldi's Pizza. The price is a little high for pizza, but it is well worth it. You also get to make your own pizza's, pick your base and toppings from a list and sit tight while your pizza bakes in their brick oven. The small salad is a good size starter...

The pizza had ricotta cheese, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and ham. on a tomato sauce mozzarella thin crust base. I don't quite remember what salad we ended up getting... All in all a great meal. If you like pizza, you must check this place out.

Big Treat in Little China!

What is more exciting then skydiving?! Skydiving then going out for great Chinese food!

So, last Saturday me and some friends went skydiving, and that adrenaline rush worked up a good appetite. My good Chinese friend suggested we go to China town grab some grub. He took us to Fu Fu's, and ordered everything in Chinese so I am not entirely sure what I ate. What I do know is that it tasted good.

Going clockwise from the top left we have some fried tofu, followed by spicy orange glazed beef strips, then a pork dumpling and finally some garlicky hollow stem and spinach.
