Out & About #630 | Week #5 Quarantine Update​ Feat. Espresso Chiffon

​I've seen little to none of outside world occurences, so this entry shall merely serve as a personal recount of items ingested over the week-long period.

​The start of the week commenced with a ground-shaking craving for Chipotle. Rushing out of the house for my guac-garnished assemblage meant omission of a water bottle. Thus, the drive entailed a detour into Galleria (296) for blaze-battling fluids. Oh and kimchi.

Alas, bottled beverages were deemed too pricey for purchase. I emerged instead with Jessica edition Peppero, obnoxiously salty danmuji, and Kakao-character-like-but-not-quite-themed Dalgona candy bites.

​A semi-successful Espresso Chiffon Cake reared its icing sugar-decked head towards the latter part of the week. 

Inspired by Cooking Tree and dolloped with a heaping spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt and toasted desiccated coconut, the fluffy wedges were the ideal format of repurposing my Maxell House grinds.

​On a good ankle day, short walks are achievable. Perhaps it is the wine bottle and dumbbell routines, for wielding two six-packs back home has never been easier. And I'd likely never lift a weight ever if the idea hadn't been presented by the trusted blogilates. (Seriously, I swear by her - for everything but non-dance cardio, that is.)

Side Launch's Northbound Lager provided a crisp ending to a certain evening, though was largely unmemorable. Granville Island Brewery's Limited Edition Watermelon Lager was, depressingly, not my cup of tea either.

​With sunnier days and (hopefully) warmer weather on the way, I've temporarily swapped my morning pour-overs for sweet, frothy lattes.
Half of a pairing is the caffeine; the other half is, undoubtedly, baked goods fresh from the oven. Chinese Walnut Cookies were a half teaspoon of baking powder away from success, and to blame for the puff instead of the crunch is my own heavy handedness.
