foodtrucks + coolhaus does oc!

Just a quick post before M. and I head to Portland next week.. We had been craving ice cream sandwiches from Coolhaus for quite some time and lucky for us, they happened to be in orange county tonight! I had no idea that there was even a food truck gathering in Westminster.. We sort of just jumped in the car without any expectations but everything we tried was amazing.

Beef rendang sloppy joe, asian slaw and taro chips from chompchomp

Natural cut fries with curry mayo and sriracha ketchup

Creamed corn from shortstop BBQ

Lobster Popsicles from Slapfish

Potato chip and skor bar + nutella ice cream sammy!

I'm not going to lie, the coolhaus was definitely the show stopper.. Especially because this LA based foodie heaven is owned and operated by architects that also happen to make amazing icecream... Oh and not to mention their build your own sammies that look like modern homes in the diagram. The edible wrapper is also a plus and they have dome architecture inspired sammies like the orange Julius schulman which is apparently a snickerdoodle cookie+ blood orange sorbet or you can opt for the ever so popular redvelvet. They arent in oc very often, so this was especially awesome but they are definitely worth the drive to LA! Be sure to follow them on twitter @coolhaus and snag one of these babies next time it's one million degrees outside, or if you're just in the mood for an icecream Sammy like we were..

June!

Is it me or am I unusually excited for the summer to start? With school being out, I'll have actual days off to do anything and everything or nothing at all! I'm excited because I've got tons of groupons to use for LA.




This giant corn on the cob hanging from the ceiling at target makes me happy. Nothing says summer like a giant, buttery corn on the cob, right?




Also, M. And I found the chocolate covered frozen banana bites at trader joe's. I felt like I needed a treat after surviving a class at Pure Barre. A friend invited me to try it out and man, I really need to get my body back into shape! I signed up for a month of unlimited classes so here's to challenging myself and rewarding myself accordingly (in moderation and more health conscious, of course!) Maybe the Longchamp fairy will make an appearance when I reach my goal.

Side note: I finally caved in to the phenomenon that is the iphone, so expect more
consistent updates!
