Happy birthday, Marie!!!

Brunch:

Eggplant pizza (2)
(I love pizza, I love veggies, I love eggplant pizza. Super simple way to eat fulfill pizza cravings without feeling terrible about eating an entire pizza or waiting an hour for the pizza to get delivered.)

Snack:

Nut cluster

Snack:

Sauteed jicama w/tofu & cat's nose fungus
(Another simple yet delicious dish! The jicama is so sweet that you don't need to add any spices or flavourings.)

Snack:

Pork tamale (ate a piece of the corn)

Sweets from 85°C Bakery, Garden Grove, CA: 

Cousin's jelly cup
(None of us saw the appeal. My cousin said it was basically sugar in a cup.)

Brioche
(Not terrible, but I prefer French brioche. This is a lot lighter and fluffier.)

Cheese pastry (didn't eat)
(This had a cream cheese filling. I thought the cheese was just baked on top.)

Blueberry cream cheese Danish (ate a small piece)
(Not a fan of blueberry cream cheese pastries.)

Mango pastry (ate a small piece)
(Very, very sweet. The mango flavour was strong though.)

Snack:

Sauteed jicama w/tofu & cat's nose fungus (ate some)

Snack:

Piece of some almond pastry from the bakery
(Not a fan. Too sweet. I think the only thing I liked from this bakery was the brioche.)

Drink:

Kahlua w/almond milk & ice
(My cousin had his with regular milk, which diluted the sweetness. My almond milk had some sugar in it, so it enhanced the sweetness. Wasn't a fan of the sweetness, but I can't drink regular milk.)

Lots of drinks
