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. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

My boys turned ten!

 

A Roblox Birthday Cake for my sons' 10th birthday party! Roblox is a video game that my sons and all of their friends love to play. I got the cake at Safeway (I love their sugary cakes), and I bought this Roblox cake topper on Amazon. 


I can't believe it's been a whole decade since I had my twin boys! The time seems to fly as you get older! For their birthday this year, we had a party at Flying Squirrel Pizza in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. We invited their friends and their parents and had a pizza party! We were able to get two long tables. The staff was accommodating, and they were great to work with. We brought our own cake, and they supplied the paper plates and a cake knife. 

For their birthday breakfast, I baked a Pumpkin Coffeecake. It seemed a little mushy and underbaked right of the oven, but after I refrigerated it, the texture was great. You can see the recipe I used here. 





My husband bought me flowers on the boys' birthday, because he's sweet like that! 


The boys wanted something from Vat19.com, a website with fun and unique novelty candy and more. 

These are actually freeze-dried Chocolate Chip taffies. My son liked them, but I wasn't a huge fan. But two thumbs up when you're ten! 

My other son wanted this Crispy Cone, which is actually a Rice Krispy treat instead of ice cream! 

These are Salted Caramel Apple Pie Pops. Once again, I didn't love them, but my son did. Kind of cool looking, but they were hard. 


The Crispy Cone for my son. And yes, he let me take this shot after he took a bite! 

This item as actually chocolate chip cookies, but in ice cream cone form. These were very hard and hurt my teeth, but my son loved eating these!


I had a cocktail at the birthday party. I love their I'm Your Huckleberry Tonight drink. 

We ordered five pizzas for our group! 


The day after the boys' birthday, we went to an arcade and ate dinner at Lucky Strike in Bellevue. It can be hit or miss with the food, but we ordered this skillet chocolate chip cookie topped with ice cream for another birthday dessert for the boys!
