Weekend Bits
The spread for Mama’s birthday dinner including yellowfin tuna sashimi, grilled swordfish, kimchi, garlicky baby bok choy, roasted Korean sweet potatoes, and crab and avocado rolls.
Mama’s birthday cake stuffed with macerated amaretto strawberries and whipped vanilla buttercream.
It’s lobster season here and what better way to celebrate than with lobster rolls?
Shrimp tacos with homemade chips, guac, and .It’s also apparently monsoon season and so it’s been a blessing to have a sunny Summer day to have an old fashioned bbq, complete with to scoot it over the top!
Despicable Me 2 and french fries #ftw ! Fries are one of my favorite foods.
Teaching baby brother how to make {chocolate with kahlua buttercream} over the weekend. He just subbed out the matcha for 2 tb unsweetened cocoa.
And flowers for moi for booking the new dining editor position for Elevate Lifestyle.
My favorite part of the week was spending time with my family and sharing food and laughter {plus, there was cake involved which is always a plus}. What was yours?
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

Mama’s birthday cake is awesome.
Thanks, Marta! Mama said she loved it so much she had it for breakfast and then again for lunch as a mid-day dessert =)
Thanks, Allen!!
Your weekend recaps always look so delicious and full of food. Mine would be boring compared to this! I wish I lived somewhere that I could say it’s lobster season. I have wanted lobster rolls for so long now. You can get lobster here I just usually buy crab or shrimp as lobster is way expensive. Glad you had a good weekend with family
Wow, how could anyone top your weekend. I hope your mother’s birthday was a lovely as her cake.
That was quite a birthday spread for your Mama. Bet she was smiling ear to ear the whole time. That’s so cool that baby brother is learning to cook.
I would not have been able to resist your fresh tuna treat! And glad you bought yourself some flowers Squishy
