Food, food, and more food


Wednesday of our vacation HotNurse stopped by to check out our new place (yay for our first non-family visitor!) and say her goodbyes before she drove across the country back home to Minnesota.

It was so strange showing her around and totally taking in the fact that we’re home owners. Wasn't it just a few years ago that we were freaking out over college applications and how we'd actually pay for school if we managed to get in?

After a final round of hugs it was off to Islands for a mini lunch.




Cody and I split a Sandpiper (grilled chicken breast,
sautéed mushrooms, swiss, lettuce, and tomato)




And a basket of their Island Fries





After some aimless driving and goofing around we decided to pop into an unfamiliar frozen yogurt place in hopes that it was as good as the one my brother took us to down in San Diego.

We split an original, honeydew, and strawberry frozen yogurt with mango, kiwi, and strawberries on top. It was fantastic.





Later that night we finally got around to using
a giftcard we received for Riptide.




It was the biggest sushi bar we’d ever seen with a huge assortment of unbelievably amazing food. $50 is pretty easy to spend on sushi so we thought burning our giftcard wouldn’t be that difficult, but we didn’t know their rolls would be so huge.

We shared a Fitness Roll (seared salmon, artichoke hearts, Japanese sprouts, and avocado wrapped in baby leaf spinach and steamed rice topped with tobiko and sweet wasabi sauce)




And a Galaxy Roll (salmon tempura, avocado, crab, and cream cheese topped with salmon, special sauces, tempura crunch, and green onion)




Miguel, our sushi chef, had to put the rest of our order on hold while we finished what we had in front of us.




Yellowtail sashimi




Spicy tuna hand rolls and Philadelphia hand rolls




And because its tart flavor is so completely addicting,
we drove back for more fro-yo.
