tigers blood shaved ice

To my shock and awe, Jon had never tried the only greatest snow cone flavor--Tigers Blood! I have been on the eternal search this summer for a snow shack in San Diego! Confused that they are in almost every parking lot in Salt Lake City, I finally found an ice cream shop (that Jon and I have actually visited once before), The Daily Scoop, that served Hawaiian shaved ice.

hot dogs and sauteed onions

I've always been a pretty simple girl when it came to hot dogs: ketchup only, please. Lately I have had an obsession with sauteed onions on hot dogs. I can easily eat a plate of sauteed onions and mushrooms by themselves, so good! Today I made a quick hot dog lunch with sauteed onions simply as the topping.

1 onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp soy sauce
dash of seasoned salt
buns and hot dogs, of course!



Pour 1 tbsp olive oil in saucepan, turn on medium heat, add onions, seasoned salt and soy sauce, cover.



After about 3 minutes, uncover, stir, throw in hot dogs, add a little more seasoned salt, recover.



Yum! Coming along nicely...



After about another 3 minutes, eyeball to make sure the onions are sauteed to your liking. Serve!

Isabel's Cantina

I previously posted about a breakfast joint called The Mission, and come to find out one of the owners had left The Mission and opened her own restaurant (actually a few!) with a similar, more extensive menu, called Isabel's Cantina.

Located in Pacific Beach, inside what looks like a garage, but with a hip asian themed, lounge style atmosphere, serving an array of food options. Since Jon and I went for breakfast, we got the homemade coconut french toast with fresh fruit and crispy dragon potatoes with soy chorizo!

Wurstküche and Scoops

Jon took me to Wurstküche a couple days ago, a sausage and belgian fries purveyor in downtown LA. They had three vegetarian/vegan options: Vegetarian Italian - fennel, garlic, red peppers and eggplant, Vegetarian Smoked Apple Sage - apples, yukon gold potatoes and rubbed sage, Vegetarian Mexican Chipotle - chipotle, chille di arbol peppers, garlic and onion. Jon went with the Smoked Apple sausage and I got the Mexican Chipotle sausage with caramelized onions. Their twice dipped belgian fries are really what sealed the deal, as well as their dipping sauces! I got the Sundried Tomato Mayo and Chipotle Aioli.... possibly some of the best fries I have had to date.

Cute menu, fun atmosphere and awesome architecture and design/setup. I fully approve this place if you are ever in downtown LA.








Afterward we went to Scoops, a small place to get gelato just off of Melrose. I have to say, my entire life I have never been a fan of chocolate, especially by itself, but we got a scoop of the salty chocolate and I finally understand why women go crazy for chocolate! This was probably the best gelato AND chocolate...anything...that I have ever had! Another definite recommendation.
