Adventures in LA over Winter Break

It's always a struggle adjusting back into school mode when you're coming off your winter break high. Today was my second first day of school this year since winter quarter started today. Major buzz kill. I'm proud to admit that this break revolved around eating. Lots of money and five pounds later...

On December 30th I went to the Food Trucks that line up outside of LACMA to have lunch with my Aunt and cousins. My Aunt and the girls are always up for a foodie adventure, must run in the family. There was a gaggle of about 15 trucks lined up on Wilshire. It was slightly overwhelming. The most outlandish were probably The Lobsta Truck, which had a line outside of it before it opened, The Lardon Truck, and The Tasty Meat Truck which dawned the tagline "Eat my tasty meat!" None of us are really big meat eaters so we glided right passed these and wound up ordering from The Boba Truck, The Greenz on Wheelz Truck, and La Rue de Paris Truck, and one that I can't remember the name of... oops.

The Lobsta Truck- with lots of patrons.

Here's what we ordered

Greenz on Wheelz Mixed Veggie Sandwich

-A mixed veggie sandwich with Ortega Chiles, Jack Cheese, served with Balsamic Vinaigrette and Potato Wedges
-A grilled cheese with bacon

-A crepe with spinach, mozzarella, avocado and maybe pesto (?)

-A chicken Breast Panini

-A nutella Banana Crepe

-A crepe with Rasperry jam and whipped cream

-A cherry blossom boba (some of the most deliciously sticky tapioca pearls I've had)

-Pastrami french fries for my Uncle

And lunch wasn't over yet...
We went to Sweet E's Bake Shop on Robertson to get cake pops! We're quickly obsessing over cake pops because there as tasty as they are fun to eat. If you don't know, cake pops are cake that's chopped up and mixed with a little frosting so it's moist, then it's formed into a ball, put on a stick, chilled, and dipped in chocolate. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, YUM. We got a red velvet dipped in white chocolate, a dark chocolate dipped in white chocolate, a vanilla dipped in white chocolate, and a chocolate peppermint.
