Heat Wave Cure Day 4

ICE COFFEE 

Temp. 98 degrees accompanied by afternoon thunderstorms

I found shelter in a corner shop on a comfy couch with a ice coffee accompanied by my friend for a game of checkers + conversation

Lion King Burgers

 Lion Burgers 

What?! A restaurant in Phoenix Arizona is serving lion burgers as a World Cup special.

I have to admit my first reaction was: Oh no! Not Simba! But then again, how often do you get to try a Lion Burger?

Heat Wave Cure Day 3

Smoothies!

Smoothies will make the heat a lil more bearable, a cool stream of flavor flowing down your esophagus

Baltimore's Farmer's Market is by far my favorite Farmers Market. 

They have everything you need for Sunday brunch and now they even have smoothies at a new stand called Wheely Good Smoothies.

 Smoothies powered by your own two feet! You+ Bike= Smoothy. You get on the stationary bike that is connected to the blender, as you pedal the blades spin crushing and mixing the ingredients.

It was pretty fun to watch people getting the Lance Armstrong Tour de France on! I had on a dress and heels (plus I was late for church) so I didn't go this round but next time its on!

Step 1: Pick a flavor

Step 2: Get on the bike

Step 3: Bike your lil heart out till he tells you to stop

Step 4: Pour + Enjoy a stroll around the rest of the market

Heat Wave Cure Day 1

What is with this heat? Guess I should blog about it

Soul Craving

Butters Soul Food 

mac n cheese sweet potatoes stuffed baked chicken and corn bread. Good food interesting service, will  be calling ahead next time, but the important part is their will be a next time. The service and customers were colorful characters. The guy that made my food was actually from baltimore, so I had a feeling the food would be good anyway. 

Baltimore Yat Gaw Mein

A Baltimore Fav pronounced Yak Gow Mane. 

I find that different regions do this cheap Chinese dish differently. 

West Baltimore makes a sweet version, East Baltimore salty, and Philly's version is covered in gravy and not ketchup. 

I am partial to Baltimore West Side Version from  Loon Yee Carry Out in Edmondson Village , and I haven't had it in FOREVER.

I went home to Baldimore and picked up some Yat Gaw Mein for my homie Tillery+ I.

You can't get Yat like this in Philly anywhere! 

Thick Noodles + Beef Covered in Soy Sauce Onions Hard Boiled Egg + Sweet Ketchup! 

A take out classic with a classic grape soda

Granted you'll have the worst breathe ever after this meal, but hey it happens ever now and then.

Back to Reality: Airport Food

Layover at the airport the official end to our 3 course meal vacation. Chicken wraps Buffalo Wings and Fries w/ a soda on the side

Not the healthiest meal but hey don't judge me I was on vacation. 

Cuisine Cruising

I'm on a Boat! Well I was and internet doesn't come cheap in international waters, so I'm updating you a lil late on all the scrumptious food I had on my vaca. All I kept hearing about cruise ships is that the food will blow your mind and all you do is eat. I ate good the whole trip but I'll let the pictures speak for me and you can see for yourself

I've always wanted to try this, and was some what disappointed. This dessert is very hyped up, and didn't live up to my expectations. Very pretty to look at though.
