This weekend started with dinner at a nearby English pub called Ye Olde Kings Head. (You can read my review on Yelp here.) Saturday while Brent and his dad rooted for UCLA at the game against USC, I spent a couple of hours at the gym. It was the perfect time to go as the gym was completely empty. That night after dinner we checked out the newest location for Pinkberry, which happens to be just a few minutes from our place. (My Yelp review here.) Last week I discovered that a sushi place near my office sells the original "sour" yogurt. Went there twice and started to spread the sour yogurt gospel to my co-workers.
Today we started at the gym, where we both wore ourselves out. (We spent the rest of the day complaining about how sore we are from recent workouts.) After our workouts we stopped by the "frutas" vendor so Brent could have his favorite post-workout meal. The vendor chops up a bunch of fruit from his cart, throws it in a bag and adds lime, chili powder and salt. I hear it's quite tasty, but I can't stand the spice of the chili powder so I've stayed away. Someday I'll try it sans chili powder. My post-workout treat was...Pinkberry. Addicted much? Good lord, please don't let it end up like that Seinfeld yogurt episode.
Tonight I tried out two new cookie recipes as I need to decide on one for the BYOC (Bring Your Own Cookies) Exchange that Jenn and I are hosting next weekend. Us and a dozen or so of our baking friends and family are going to gather at my fabulous mother-in-law's house to eat, chat and exchange cookie recipes.
The two recipes I tried were Mexican Wedding Cookies and Peanut Butter Munchies.
Here are the Wedding Cookies:
Here are the PB Munchies:
They were both delicious, if I do say so myself. I think I'll be making the Wedding Cookies for the exchange. And I think my co-workers will be enjoying these trial runs tomorrow.
