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.

Seattle Sweet Week | A visit to Hot Cakes Chocolate Molten Cakery

For the first time ever Seattle's holding an event called Sweet Week.  Sound good? It did to me and I went to Hot Cakes in Ballard to try one of the special desserts.  Sweet Week is from September 25th-28th and various chocolate shops, ice cream places, candy shops, cupcakeries and more are participating. They're creating and offering unique desserts for the event and they're all $5.  So if you want you can hit up a few places and get a major sugar rush. 


At Hot Cakes I had the Oh My Honey Sundae.  It had salted honey caramel ice cream, honey crunch, honey cream and honey candied smoked almonds covered in salty milk chocolate.  My husband joined me so we also got to try the Dark Decadence- one of the molten chocolate cakes that comes with ice cream and topped with toffee bits.  The molten chocolate has Theo chocolate and is so sinfully rich and sweet.  For my caffeine fix for the afternoon I drank a caramel latte and my husband who has a passion for an Old Fashioned, sipped on one of those.  It was all so decadent and a very unique experience.
