Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too.

Trying the new Milk Bar Ice Cream

It's officially ice cream season! But, who are we kidding? It's really ice cream season all year long. I love trying new kinds, flavors, and brands. So when Milk Bar recently released their new ice cream sold in grocery stores, I couldn't wait to try it. Currently, Whole Foods is carrying it. I was able to find two of the four flavors. The four flavors are Cereal Milk, Birthday Cake, Milk Bar Pie, and Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow. 

I got to try the Birthday Cake and the Milk Bar Pie. The pints were each right under $6. I really liked the bright colored packaging and how the pints had a tab under the lid. There was even a printed signature from Christina Tosi, the owner of Milk Bar. 

The Birthday Cake ice cream is described as B'day cake flavored ice cream with B'day crumbs and B'day frosting. My pints were a little bit melted since I was taking a few photos outside first. But a little melted ice cream in a pint is perfect. It was super creamy and sweet and I loved the chucks of the B'day crumbs. I've had the Milk Bar Birthday Cake before and this ice cream really resembled it, but in ice cream form. 

The Milk Bar Pie is described as deep vanilla ice cream with gooey butter filling and toasted oat crust. Once again, the ice cream was really soft and creamy. And we loved the chunks of the gooey butter filling and the crust. It reminded us of having a slice of pie with ice cream. I couldn't decide which one I liked better. I really enjoyed both flavors equally. I gave my family each a spoon and we all dived in. Everyone loved it!
