Arizona: the food edition

I finally got around to uploading all of my pictures from Arizona today and was sad when I realized that I took more pictures of food than of people. (In case you were wondering, I totally took pictures of all of my meals before social media even existed) (That is a lie)

So here you have it, everything I ate in AZ:

• Joe's BBQ. Their chocolate chip cookie is hands down the best chocolate chip cookie ever so Nat The Fat Rat should just give up on her quest to find the best cookie because it's in Gilbert, Arizona.

• Food from the grocery store. Jack loved the cool cart.

• A Flancer's BLT, which is my most favorite sandwich in the world. (The sweet potato fries were not my favorite sweet potato fries in the world).

 

• Bobas. If I were to die tomorrow, I would have a chocolate coconut boba at The Street on Dobson and Southern for breakfast, lunch, and dinner today. It is my #1 favorite food/drink.

 

I went with Krissy and we went to the Temple afterwards, but we got stuck in a hail storm in the parking lot. When the hail stopped (but not the rain) we sprinted to get inside and were both drenched by the time we got in. I took a picture of us to document, but we both looked like wet rats and Krissy told me that I was not allowed to post it. :) Somehow Arizona rain is always more exciting than rain anywhere else.

 

• Donuts. My mom bought homemade spudnuts from a boy in our neighborhood doing a fundraiser and they were sooooo good. I am not telling how many I ate.

 

• Island noodles. I went to the Aloha Festival in Tempe with Katie and cute baby Seth.

• Pesto, tomato, and mozzarella cheese paninis. It was fun catching up with lots of high school friends!

 

• Green beans with butter, sliced almonds, and lemon pepper. My mom made these for me because she knows that I think it tastes better than candy.

• A delicious salad at Liberty Market. I went with my mom and Jack liked playing with the cup of ice.

 

• I had a Diet Coke almost every day. (I will not point fingers at whose example I was following... :) I am now experiencing DC withdrawals and my text messaging with Spencer yesterday went as follows:

Me: It is taking all of my willpower not to buy a Diet Coke at Sams Club right now!

Spencer: Then buy one!!!

Me: Are you financially prepared to support a twice-a-day fountain drink addict?!

Spencer: No I'm not. You can't start that addiction until I have a salary. And we have a dog named Bruce. And I get lasik eye surgery. And we have paid off our student loans. And we have gone on a vacation with just the two of us. Then you are free to get addicted.
 

Non food related activities that Jack participated in included: beach at Val Vista Lakes with Katie and Seth, TV with Elizabeth, Barbie youtube videos with Elizabeth, motorcyle riding with Isaac, lots of walks, yard work with my dad, and basketball with my mom. WE LOVE ARIZONA TRIPS!
