Here is what I ate last week. I thought now that I'm airing all my dirty food laundry maybe I would eat better but on the contrary I've been eating "too well", if you know what I mean. I did a few lunges though...

God i haven't had a slice of Abbott's in a while. I miss their mushroom/olive pesto slice. Awesome.
i have yet to try Abbott's. i think that you were pretty good with your eating habits. however, i can see that if kimchi was taken out of the equation, you would be starving.
hi dylan,
i can't seem to stray away from the bianca. it's just so garlicky and delicious. and you know koreans are #1 consumers of garlic. :D
hi hannah,
we should go down there together some time. i've also been wanting to do afternoon tea and jin patisserie which is on the same street. if i didn't have kimchi i would wither and die. seriously.
you know that i am always ready to eat good food whether its from you or abbott's....
there's gotta be another place with kimchi pizza
I am IPA man
