Frozen Treat time!!!

If you were at a store and there was ice cream, frozen yogurt, popsicles, custard, soft serve, gelato, etc., what would you pick?


I would definitely pick either the frozen yogurt or a popsicle.  


Pretty sure usually I would say frozen yogurt, with all the frozen yogurt places popping up all over the city (and especially in Lakeview), it's hard not to love.  Although lately (as in a few days) I've been wanting a popsicle and exploring making them from home.


With the weather warming up, who wouldn't go for some sort-of frozen treat?


As I mentioned, frozen yogurt seems to be everywhere right now.  I'm not going to complain becuase I love it and apparently Chicagoans agree with me.


Last summer I made it a point to branch out and try as many different frozen yogurt places as possible.  But I'm pretty sure I've found my favorite so now I usually just go to that one. (to be revealed at the end)


This week I went to Pinkberry with a friend.  (I'm never against trying something new.)  After we checked out we looked at each other and she said, "That was some expensive frozen yogurt."  which is exactly what I was thinking.  The lady working there was super nice to us, but overall I enjoy my experience at my favorite, where I can mix flavors and make it how I want (for cheaper).
I know Pinkberry is famous because of celebrities so I can now say I tried it and that's good enough for me.


So after trying so many frozen yogurt places... my favorite is Forever Yogurt.  People are friendly, it's easy, you can mix and match as you please, and it's delicious.


What are you up to this weekend?


I'm excited to visit the Green City market (where I haven't been in about 5 years) with a friend, celebrate a friend's bday, and go to some friends' bbq.  Looks like a pretty great weekend to me.  (And I'm going to try to squeeze a few other things, like the Randolph Street Market, in too.)


I hope you get out to enjoy this lovely weather this weekend and maybe have one of your favorite frozen treats!

Fall Photos

After admiring the leaves on our runs and my bike to work, we recruited my parents to take some photos of us there this weekend.   After these photos (and tackling some IT issues for my parents) we went to a birthday gathering at the jazz festival on Cherokee Street.  I liked it more than I thought I would. As the night wore on, I started chatting with one of the friend of a friend's there.  I started going in to what a crazy year and some change it's been and, whew, it really started to overwhelm me.   This morning, Mike woke up overwhelmed by our world/specifically our country.  I woke up with that conversation still in my head and also felt overwhelmed.  We treated ourselves to Sump Coffee and had a chat.  It's not always we sit down and talk about what we want and steps to get there. Fall feels like the perfect time to reset.  As we went through the day I also thought, it's okay to miss things in the past, but it woul...

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

Concerts = ♡

Last week was an exceptional concert week for me.  I was lucky enough to catch San Fermin, The Mowgli's, & American Authors.  In one week! My sister, Karen, and I found out San Fermin would be in Chicago at LouFest when we went through the artist signing line.  (Correction: Karen participated in the artist signing line, while I hid behind her shoulder and Ellis, the composer/writer, reached out to me to introduce himself.  This band is full of quality people.  Just sayin'.  I get awkward around bands.)   So we followed through.  Found their show at the Metro (which could not be more convenient for us) and met up with Rubina, my friend, to enjoy their show.  So good.  We were not disappointed.  I was only minutely disappointed because for some reason I assumed they were headlining so when they didn't come out for an encore I was confused.  But then I realized they were the middle act and it made sense. ...
