Amateur Eater Follow-Up

As you've read, I'm in Utah... so...

LET THE EATING BEGIN!

After typing that, I feel really gluttonous. I'm thinking this sounds better?

Commence the gastronomical tour of Utah, 2010!

much better.

Red Iguana: check. Ate my weight in chips and salsa, got a mole sampler, and had the Wednesday special - 3 small corn tacos, one filled with carnitas, another with sautéed mushrooms, and a third with pork pipian. My wonderful co-eaters had the puntas de filete a la nortena and the enchilada special with a berry mole. Think berry mole is weird? Think again. This time, think of heaven, people.

New Cupcake Place (aka The Cocoa Bean): check. Had a thirst quenching blood orange and pomegranate italian soda with a "Better Than Whatever" cupcake, FRESH FROM THE OVEN. Frosting dripping over ooey-gooey chocolatey goodness? Yes, please! I want to go back for the Mexican Chocolate tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I promise to look more awake. I've been up and traveling/eating/shopping/blogging for a solid 12 hours. No easy feat to accomplish without a few causalities, i.e. chapped lips, frizzy hair, and tired eyes. And no shower (TMI? My flight departed at 7:20 AM from BWI! C'mon.).

Food coma: you better believe it. After a few solid laps on my favorite walk around the LDS Provo Temple, I plan to be out for the count.

On the docket tomorrow: Thai food and pizza. And that aforementioned cupcake, of course. Oh, AND a shower. I do have standards, friends. Sheesh.
