Friendly's Ice Cream

We went to Friendly's a few weeks ago, but I actually forgot that I wanted to blog about the ice cream. So, here I am, blogging about ice cream. xD [Of course, it's Yumi! XDDD]
So, while we were there, I ate what they called mozerella sticks. Actually, they seemed to me more like mozerella bites. They were no more than 2 cenimeters long and 1 cenimeter wide. They served 20 to me.
The little bite things were okay. I would have rather had actual mozerella sticks though.
Shii ordered onion rings. I tasted one. And they seemed good. I like a done onion ring. The batter should be more than just golden. And they were, so I was impressed.
But as for the ice cream:
It's not bad.
I'd rate it from 1-10:

It isn't bad. But there is better.
I ordered birthday cake ice cream. I really love cake flavored ice cream but this was a little too much.
This particular flavor: 4
The reason:
It had never ending swirls of chocolate mixed in with candy coated chocolate pieces all in cake batter flavored ice cream.
It was much too rich.
And the chocolate flavors drowned out what would have been a really great flavor of ice cream.

As for Shii's ice cream:
He ordered this purple ice cream. I think he said it was raspberry. And he topped it with peanut butter sauce. That sounds good.
And because he always gets it when we eat dessert there, I'm assuming it must be good.
Anyways~
That's all for now on ice cream!

Tomato and Onion Salad with Coffee Sauce

It sort of sounds-

It really sounds disgusting.

But it's really not.

^-^

I chopped up some onion and grape tomatoes and tossed them together in a bowl. Next, I made a sauce from some left over Kona coffee and mayonaisse. [Of course I tossed in a few other things but I can tell you what they are! ^-^;;]

Anyhow~ it was really quite good.

And~ I am not the person to talk about how something that I made was good. If I had to rate this from 1-10:

It had some flaws. But, that can be fixed! ^-^ And next time I make it, it will be!

Dofu Delight

Shii picked up something called Dofu Delight from the Asian Grocer last time we went. It was mango flavored.
To me, it looked like something I'd like to try.
You can check out that flavor and other flavors here:

I have yet to order from Asian Food Grocer, but I really want to! It seems like they have a lot of great items!
Anyways~
The mango Dofu Delight was great! I really really enjoyed it. However, a downside was that it always made it's own liquid and when you cut a piece, it always seemed to be dripping from it and it was not attractive to have a pool of juice in the dish.
Regardless, the flavor was milky and fruity! It was delicious!
I am eager to try more flavors of Dofu Delight!
If it was to be rated on a scale from 1-10:

I would reccomend Dofu Delight for you to try!

I recently bought~~

I went back to the Asian Grocer and bought the following:

~ Ube Wheat Cakes

~ Ube Jelly

~ Cashew Rolls

~ Buckwheat Noodles

~ Pineapple Gummies

~ Lychee Gummies

~ Hot & Spicy Banana Sauce

~ Peanut Sauce

~ Yakisoba Sauce

~ Aloe and White Grape Juice

~ Aloe and Peach Juice

~ Mango Calpico

~ Pineapple Extract

Sooooo~

I certainly did not just buy all of these things and not do anything with them! ^-^ I'm going to tell you what I've done so far~

Sunday~

I boiled some buckwheat noodles and drained them.

Then, I tossed in some soy sauce and pineapple extract. It resulted in a salty flavor with a sweet pineapple after taste!

And, I've tried the Ube Wheat Cakes. They are amazing.

Here's a photo, closest thing I could find to mine on google. So I suppose this is almost what they look like, but I will take a picture of mine and post it soon~

Until then, I found this picture on yahoo image search of something close to them:

Also, the Cashew Rolls are too.

Shii doesn't like the Cashew Rolls.

They taste great though so whatever! Lol!

I made some onigiri recenly, not just for myself but some friends were requesting it! Plus, I really wanted to make one for Shii!

So, I made the following:

For the short grain rice, I decided to add a little color and [I hoped it'd add] some flavor too! I used some pineapple extract in my rice. It certainly turned my rice bright yellow but I must not have added enough because the flavor was barely there.

Anyway, I used ube jelly to fill two of them. One was Shii's. He likes more filling for his onigiri then rice. So I had a ball about an 2 or 3 cenimeters thick and a little coat of rice around the bottom two thirds of it. The other rice balls looked normal though. Haha.

One of the others was made also with ube jelly. That went to my friend Wendy. And I made one with pear slices that were sturated in sugar for a night and that one was supposed to be for my friend Sami, but she came late. I thought she wasn't coming, and I gave it to my other friend Teresa.

Haha. Wow. Now, I have to make Sami another. So when I do, I will take pictures. It should be Sunday night or Monday morning.

And, so far that's really all that I've done. I was pretty lazy last week. Haha.

I'll likely be back soon for more posting~

Creme Brulee Coffee

It's flavor of the week at my second favorite local coffee shop! ^-^ Oh it was so good! It had a really great flavor and it smelled very strongly of carmel. Just the smell made me want to drink it. 8D
I wish I had that coffee.
Seriously.
It was good!

Blueberry Muffins and

I'm at the coffee shop with Shii, we came here at an early time this morning. All Summer we have been trying to get here kind of early.
Finally we are here.
And Summer ends in 4 days. Well, we got here.
So, I had a blueberry muffin and a Cafe Au Lait.
Cafe Au Lait is love. Just in case you don't know, Cafe Au Lait is just coffee and steamed milk. It's not sweet but it is definatly amazing.
Anyways~
Shii ordered a Chai Tea Latte [iced] and a Raspberry Scone.
I'd say the blueberry muffin was alright. Not my favorite muffin but it was okay. And the scone, I took a bite, it was not bad. I didn't really taste enough to know.
But,
I'm still sitting here.
The atomosphere is really calm here. It's enjoyable. Unlike my grandmother's house...that's where we'll be heading when we leave here. o__o
