Union Square Bar Nuts
I finally felt like a human being today and so today, we reserved the entire day for us.
We spent the morning making banchan (side dishes that are perfect for Bibimbap), chopping veggies and making stocks…we shredded down 10 lbs of ox tail for a delicious upcoming soup.
We had Indian for lunch (I know, again). Mama’s rockin’ the houndstooth!
Dessert…pumpkin and gingerbread fro-yo (because I just didn’t have enough ice cream before, lol).
A large chain ousted a small mom/pop shop and everything was marked half off. L-R: sweet rice flour, barley tea, dried anchovies, dried bellflower, laver snacks, soy sauce, baby brine shrimp, sesame oil, and green/brown rice tea. {Please support your local businesses if you don’t already}
More goodies, because you can’t ever have too many goodies! A variety of festive cookies…peppermint/chocolate waffle, chocolate sprinkle, and soft iced gingerbread cookies.
After we left Trader Joe’s, someone had left this on the roof of my car. True story.
After almost the entire day was over, me and mom realized that we were both wearing very similar foot wear–haha.
After giving mom a mani-pedi. This woman likes to stomp around and touch everything while they’re wet, lol.
Dinner…spicy squid soup, mackerel, rice and kimchi.
and now, here I am cuddled up with these warm and spiced nuts, talking to you guys.
- 18 oz nut assortment
- 2 tb *fresh* chopped rosemary
- ½ ts cayenne pepper
- 2 ts packed brown sugar
- 2 ts sea salt
- 2 tb melted unsalted butter
- Scatter your nuts on a dry baking sheet and toast at 350 for about 8-10 minutes.
- Combine the rest of your ingredients in a bowl and toss in your nuts.
- Serve warm.
I guess you could say I found something to do with all those pecans.
(never you mind that it’s 3 am) :/
Love and warm nuts no-no, that doesn’t sound right…
Love and food dates,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

Sounds like you guys had a great time! Coincidentally, I had some bibimbap yesterday which is amazing in cold weather.
What a perfect day!
What a great way to spend the day! I hear so much about ox tail, I wish I could find it here. I had to laugh about the legs on your car…tee hee! The union square nuts sound great! Glad you’re getting back to yourself too

Oh soondooboo…wish I’d thought of eating that when I was put out, it would’ve been perfect!
The most random things happen to me, but I welcome it because it makes me chuckle. As soon as I felt better, I called my bff who was like “well soooomeone is feeling better” =)
I relish these moments =)
bibimbap FTW =)
It’s like I forget about oxtail until it gets cooler out but when I remember it, it’s like we’re best friends again =)
It def. was =)
Mama makes a killer soup!
I take it as a sign, just don’t know what it means yet haha
Mom actually picked it out…barbie pink, wouldn’t have figured, lol.
I kind of feel bad because I didn’t end up sharing (but in truth, I had none left to share)
Aww so sweet that you have dates with your Mom. looks like a lovely mother-daughter day out!

Ew! I’m not a big fan of nuts, lol. Also my girlfriend has a pair of boots that look like that.

I love the look of that fro-yo! Have a super day today
Miss Suzie, these are the nuts I sent you last year on your birthday in desperation b/c I couldn’t figure out anything to send that wasn’t sweet! But you probably still thought they were too sweet with the touch of sugar-lol. This year I’m looking forward to sugaring you up fo rizzle!
Yay for Mommy time! Double yay for nummy nuts! Whoa that sounds really suggestive to me-lol.
That’s a great way to spend the day!
