saffronhare: (Whipped Cream)

This week, I am having adventures! Sort of. For me, anyway. So now, I enthusiastically endorse products and services about which I know almost nothing.

Nail polish pens. I can't remember where or when I heard about these nifty little things, but I saw them in CVS over the weekend and I decided to Buy One and Try It. Now, my fingernails are a lovely crimson-ish color. It was so easy, I decided to wash dishes right away, so some of it would wear off and I'd have to paint my nails again this evening. (sigh) Very convenient for a manicure-impaired personl like myself. Not a lot of colors to choose from just yet -- there was clear, a couple of pinks, a neutral, and a couple of reds -- really...I don't buy nail polish that often, so it's not like I felt like there was a lack of options.

Blue Koi. We went for a creative department "birthday lunch" there this afternoon and YUM. Lots of new flavors and tastes. I drank mango bubble tea and it was weirdly delicious. There was sort of a fried shimp pancake quesadilla-type thing, with sauce in a dish that I could have licked. Also, I accidentally got a SPICY! pork noddle dish instead of the not-spicy one I'd ordered. Not having been to the restaurant before, I figured I'd just mis-ordered and thought, hey, adventure! But then, when I'd soldiered through about a quarter of this HUGE dish, they brought me a new one. Er. It *was* a much more pleasant kind of taste for me, but yeesh. Lunch at work is so totally set for the next couple of days with those leftovers!

Polish Pens!

Sweet Louise Prep Staple! Got a bright red pen a while back and slap that on my toes shortly before heading out the door. Haven't used it on my fingernails yet actually.

Happy Adventures to you!

I *love* the weird little shrimp-quesadilla thing too - I have no idea what they call it, either.

Here we go, direct from the online menu (they're an appetizer):

China Moon... $8.00
Crispy flat bread sandwich with marinated minced shrimp. You got to try it!!! Served with mom’s sweet plum sauce.

I'd never been to a Blue Koi before. We were at the one at 105th & Mission, which was very spiffy inside. And yes! Sesame Balls with Plum Sauce is what they brought us birthday folks. YUM.

There's only two...the one on Mission (which I thought for sure was 135th, not 105th, but I could be wrong) is the new one, the original one is on 39th St.

Plum Sauce is made of love. Although [livejournal.com profile] closer_to_fine prefers the awesome sauce.

No, really...it's called Awesome Sauce. And yes, I love it. :)
