Spring Break: Culinary Adventures

Well, originally this blog was entitled "Epiphany" because I thought I'd be writing about meaningful topics, but lately it seems like my entries are all focused around food.

When you come home on spring break after being gone for months, though, that seems to be what life has been revolving around! If food isn't being shoved in my face by my parents, I'm driving or riding my bike off to faraway places to get it.

So I guess food can be meaningful as well.

Yesterday I rode bikes around with Kristine all day. We started in Irvine and rode to Kéan coffee in Newport. I got my favorite, the "Café Napoli" which is a subtle blend of espresso, orange, chocolate, and steamed milk. And of course they served it in a ceramic mug with perfect latté art! Delicious!



Then we rode across town and got Alejandro's (amazing and CHEAP Mexican food) and also went to a Mexican bakery off Nineteenth and Placentia where I proceeded to buy some empanada queso and other various pastries I can't recall the name of.





After I thoroughly stuffed myself, we rode home and crashed on my couch since we were exhausted after our thirty mile bike ride. Made me feel a bit less guilty about the food, though.

Shortly after Kristine left, my family came home and we made dinner. Since my dad's girlfriend was over, she brought her latest choice wine: 2006 Chianti from Trader Joe's that was delicious (and apparently only $6? Definitely on the cheap side for her taste...).



She also made amazing food to go with it, of course. Spinach cooked in a wok with cooking oil and garlic, spring rolls, steamed rice (a staple at the Anderson residence), and orange chicken (probably at my brother's request).



Later that night, got 85 degrees with Julie. Asian coffee with condensed milk is sooo good.

More delicious culinary adventures today as well, but which will be left unmentioned for now. I've probably bored all of my readers with details about food anyways.

Tomorrow, Disneyland with Cheyenne!
