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.

Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

 

A stack of Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies! 


The week between Christmas and New Year's is kind of a no man's land. Add in some snow days and really all we're getting done is some baking and playing outside in the snow. Perfect, really. This month I made fudge and Mickey and Minnie Mouse Gingerbread Men. So I wanted to bake one more thing before the New Year. I love baking cookies because they're so delicious and relatively easy to make. I found a recipe for Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies online and they looked and sounded amazing. 

Since you need to chill the dough overnight or at least for several hours, I mixed up the dough before I went to bed. Then the next day, I just had to roll the dough into balls, dip them into two kinds of sugar, and bake them. Breaking the project in half made it really easy. I would recommend doubling the recipe, since I only got about fourteen cookies. I live with two cookie monsters, so I imagine these will be gone in a flash.  

The cookies taste really rich and fudgy. They're more like brownies with a nice, crackly edge and a gooey middle. The chocolate chips are melted when they come out of the oven and take the cookies over the top. These are Christmas cookies, but you could make them any time of the year! 

I found the recipe on sallybakingaddiction.com and you can find it here. Happy Baking!
