It all started Friday night at Willie's Burgers where they're known to have amazing chili burgers. In my defense, it was in honor of my friend, Kristen, who's leaving Monday for a vacation to Spain and Morocco. So naturally we had to eat the unhealthiest foods in America to celebrate.

And then after Willie's, I met some friends at Round Table Pizza and ate two slices of pepperoni and meat lovers. How could I resist?

The next morning, Caitlin and I met at 10:30 am for Ginger Elizabeth's Sundaes. Why so early? They're specialty made on second Saturdays and tend to sell out by the afternoon. There was even a line out the door when we got there!
Don't worry, I had rehearsal that morning so I at least moved my body before eating the most decadent sundae ever.

After 'breakfast', I met Mr. Branflake and our friends at the Aloha Festival. Amazing food, fun vendors, and Mr. Branflake brought his Ukelele and took an open class. Our very good friend, Sandra, is Hawaaian so it was fun partaking in her island heritage.

I stopped shoving food in my face for a moment and watched a friend's brother bike polo tournament. Yes, you heard that right. Bike polo. It's insane, really gritty, and kinda dangerous. I think I'm hooked. If you haven't seen bike polo, it's a must.

To top off the weekend, I just got home from a book club meeting where I ate caramel apple crumb pie, black bottom cupcakes, and almond cookies. Of, and sipped on some delicious hot apple cider. Crickey.
Did you eat anything fun this weekend?
Have you ever heard of bike polo before?
I'd love to talk to you if you have!

red cabbage with homemade bred, and brokoli soup. :) and had an icecream, outside is still the same warm like 13/15 degree
Amazing! Sounds like you had an incredibly decadent, awesome culinary weekend. :) I had one of those meals on Saturday night, and despite the tummyache that followed, it was sooooo good (and worth it!). I am SO ENVIOUS of that monkey bread sundae you had . . . I can only imagine how delicious it was!
So utterly envious, I wish I had your metabolism, I had steamed broccoli for dinner last night because my skirts won't fasten!
I had a similar type of weekend, Italian and Malaysian food - feel like such a piggy today! I however missed out on Macarons :(
oh my GOSH! i am soo hungry right now!
xo,
Sandy
Sandy a la Mode
sounds like a pretty amazing weekend! i had reallllly good persian food last night :) xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
I made Asian noodles at home... They were really good!
Snickerdoodle macarons?! That sounds absolutely heavenly. Sounds like you had a really good food weekend!
Definitely an amazing weekend!
yay!
Oh my gosh, this all looks and sounds delicious!! Happy Monday xxx
oh wow - all sounds delicious! I ate quite a bit this weekend celebrating both my husband and my dad's birthdays :) Cake cake cake and some BBQ!
Waaaah, you bad girl! Everything looks so delicious... My friend brought a freshly made cheese cake which we killed in one afternoon. Did I feel guilty? You bet :)
I ate nothing fun this weekend. Nothing. We ordered pizza, and after this post that seems totally lame. : )
And I've seen videos of bike polo before. Pretty crazy stuff!
Oh my goodness, you had a good food weekend!! I didn't eat anything too crazy this weekend but I did go to a buffet for Sunday's dinner and boy did I pig out! So much yummy food everywhere.
Must be something in the air...I ate the biggest, best cheeseburger and fries on Friday with Pumpkinhead beer and carrot cake. I followed it on Saturday with pizza with pesto, tomatoes,and peppers. Sunday was a heaping bowl of homemade chili topped with sour cream, chopped olives, and cilantro for lunch, and eggplant parmesan for dinner. Did I mention breakfast? Both days began with wheat toast smothered with butter, peanut butter, raspberry jam, and nutella. Boy, did I take a long power walk this morning!
You are making my mouth water! And boy did I ever eat a lot this weekend. Started with apple cider donuts at the farm stand and did not stop all weekend long :) xoxo
I cannot believe Kristen went to Spain/Morocco without me. I just can't believe she would do such a thing. The fact that she doesn't know me is totally irrelevant. She should have invited me anyway! :-)
What an absolutely delicious weekend–I'm drooling!
i am dying...DYING...looking at those goodies from Ginger Elizabeth's! Yummmmmm
i'm back! http://bywayofney.blogspot.com
Oh, did I eat anything fun? Story of my life, and ditto on your crikey... Panera's broccoli cheddar soup; beef roast stew (yay slowcooker!); homemade pear pancakes; Persian lentil stew... I'm full thinking about it all!
xoxo J
Ohhh now I want a browned butter ice cream with caramel sauce - Yum! Kisses, sweetie.
A snickerdoodle macaron???? Oh my goodness...two of the most perfect things in one bite! So jealous!
Ok and now I want a chili burger!
This looks like a divine weekend of goodness...oh how I love some great foods, and I felt like I ate everything this weekend too! :) You are looking beautiful with your sunday, and what a great coat and scarf!
Oh how I wish I was there to eat with you! It made my heart so happy that you were able to go watch my brother. You are seriously amazing!
Lord I ate a TON this weekend. A ton. It was a little ridiculous. I think the best thing I had was a toss up between the best red velvet wedding cake I've ever had or the twice baked mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon. SO GOOD.
Weekends are for indulging I say! :) Everything looks so good!
everything looks so delicious!! i splurged a lot yesterday while hanging out at my parents.' she always has sweets around! i really want to try browned butter ice cream, my friend from san fran has raved about it. i also have yet to try a macaron! i hear trader joe's carries them now..
Wow, so they really are putting bacon on everything these days! Looks like you had a very filling weekend....no pun intended. ;)
I love you for how much you love food. The run down of all of it really expresses your love to its fullest extent.
yum yum yum!
i visited with family this weekend, so i indulged a little. nothing too terribly crazy, but i still feel like i gained a pound or two! d'oh. back to eating healthier again!
