Oh. My. Lanta. I've had so much happen in the past few weeks I'm not ever sure where to begin! Let's start with food: breakfast quesadillas, doughnut ice cream, doughnuts, cake, and cookie dough. Since moving to New York I have become so much more adventurous with my food choices and so much more open to trying foods I used to not like. My breakfast quesadilla had thick slices of tomato which would have sent me running in the past -- boy howdy was I sure glad I didn't run. The tortillas were thick and flaky, the tomatoes tasted like tomato jam (ask mama to send you a jar if you've never heard of it). All in all 10/10, thanks Emily for knowing the perfect Mexican Restaurant!The cake. Oh the cake, darn you Justine for knowing all the delicious bakeries to go to. At 2:00 in the afternoon right after having my amazing quesadilla I had an enormous piece of red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Not only was the cake dense but so was the frosting. Personally the frosting is my favorite part of every cake, so being that there were copious amounts of it, I was happy. Justine and Emily got red velvet and matcha croissants which looked divine.You know me: ice cream, ice cream, ice cream. The best ice cream I've had in a while was from SoftSwerve. I got black sesame ice cream with Reese's Puffs in a chocolate cone. The texture was amazing and the aesthetic was even better.
As many of you have probably heard, edible cookie dough is all the rage right now. DO is an ice cream style cookie dough parlor that serves edible cookie dough by the scoop in a cone, a dish, ice cream sandwich, or even a milkshake. There are a lot of different dough flavors: fluffer nutter, birthday cake, s'mores, etc. I got three scoops and regretted it because I forgot how heavy cookie dough is! I have been strangely obsessed with peanut butter since I moved here so of course I got peanut butter with Reese's Pieces, s'more, and birthday cake. Each dough has a different texture and taste and flavor combo, it was well worth the two hour wait.
In between eating my weight in sugar I finished my second term of college! This term was really hard for me. It started right after I came back fro a trip home and was feeling really down about missing everyone. During this term I also had trouble deciding whether or not to stay in New York or where to go in general. I have decided that Bend is still right for me and I am extremely excited to dedicate my life to health, wellness, and the great outdoors. I have been making time for the gym again which feels great and spring break couldn't have come at a better time -- I've been needing some rest. I love, love, love my life here and the friends I've made and the places I've gotten used to and everything... but I'm very ready to go back to Oregon. I'm going to miss everyone terribly, but life isn't about focusing on what you're missing it's about focusing on where you're going. I'll be very excited to have grass outside my door, the coast an hour away, and my car parked right outside.Although I'll be excited to return to Oregon in a few months, I've got a big stop along the way -- Costa Rica!! Emily, her friend, and I decided to take a trip to Costa Rica the last weekend in May. I'm beyond excited to travel outside of the country and have my first time be with my best friend. I don't know what Costa Rica will bring, I don't know what we'll do, but once we do it I'll let you know. Two days after we get back from Costa Rica, Emily and I will be going to Gov Ball which in a music festival in NY with an amazinggg lineup from Lorde, to YG, and Schoolboy Q, Flume, A$AP Ferg... Needless to say it'll be a great way to end my time here. I'm sad, apprehensive, and excited for the changes to come.
