Hello again, my dear readers. I have been thinking of you lately because I have been eating so many delicious things! I have been eating so many delicious things because I was in Las Vegas for a week and then it was my birthday (oh the bread pudding*). In the last two weeks I have gotten to eat all my favorite foods!
Firstly, let's chat about bread pudding. I am so serious about bread pudding that we had it at our wedding instead of cake. NOLA in Palo Alto has the world's best bread pudding. No joke. It is rustic and delicious and to top it off it's covered in bourbon sauce and whipped cream. We went to NOLA to celebrate my mom's birthday and my birthday and I got to eat oysters AND bread pudding. I couldn't have been happier.
NOW let's talk about fro yo. I am the queen of fro yo. I have been known to skip several meals to eat a GIANT bowl of fro yo. Usually I go for coffee flavor and chocolate and just a touch of vanilla...but...at Fraiche (also in Palo Alto and just a few blocks from NOLA) they had MEYER LEMON* fro yo, AND olallieberry puree. I know you're thinking WTF is an olallieberry? The olallieberry, my friends, is a cross between a loganberry and a youngberry (each of which is a cross between a blackberry and something else). They are delicious, and I grew up on olalliberry pie...so puree just basically takes the best part and gets on my yogurt!
That's all for now, my dear readers, more recipes coming soon.
*In case you aren't aware, bread pudding is my all time favorite thing. Frozen yogurt, oysters, and sushi are close behind (and sometimes tied, depending on what day of the week it is). I ate all these things in the last two weeks.
*I also really, really, really love lemon.
