Joghurt

I tried this new place with my friends today. It’s called Joghurt, and it’s incredibly yummy! There’s not as many flavors as other yogurt places, but it’s great nevertheless. I really love all the colorful furniture in the place. It’s cute and comfy!

My yummy turkey sandwich for lunch at Nectar Cafe. It was just a place we happened to run into. It’s kinda (ok, really crowded) and small. But that just means it’s good!

I had this yummy berry muffin from Dean and Deluca in New York. This particular one was near the Central Park. The pastries here was so good. I also got a coffee and Almond Croissant… YUM.

This is the second year of the “Edible Book Contest” at my workplace (I work in a library). And the entries are even better than last year! Here’s my favorite so far (they’re still trickling in). It’s James and the Giant Peach, submitted by Rebecca B. How cute is that??

The rules are, everything in the entry has to be edible, and it has to depict a book.

I had ramen for lunch today, and my tummy was quite happy! There’s a small Japanese restaurant in Rosemead, CA called Shin-sen-gumi Hakata Ramen, that just makes you feel like you’re visiting Japan. As you walk in, you’re greeted with “itashimasu” (welcome in Japanese) and then seated.

Today I got the Special Pork Flavored Noodle with a side of rice with grounded chicken bowl. Good stuff! My husband got ramen with a side order of gyozas. Noodle refill is only 95 cents. And the service is very fast and excellent.

The House Special Chicken is my favorite entree at Pick Up Stix. I also love adding the Mandarin Garden Side Salad on the side too! Get it with the Cilantro dressing!
