FOOD PICS OF THE WEEK

Captain Groovy's Grill & Raw Bar (***)

8101 Shore Dr., Norfolk, VA 23518

This will be a quick and simple Food Pics of the Week entry. The husband and I stopped by the place for a quick lunch before I had to drop him off for one of his job interviews. We stopped by this place because it was near the place where the hubby's interview would be conducted.

I gotta say this was the best bread pudding that I've ever had in my life.

No, I did not have only dessert for lunch. For my regular lunch, I had a crab cake sandwich with french fries. Honestly, the crab cake sandwich was a bit mediocre - especially for an area that is known for crab dishes.

It's kind of funny that I did not care for bread pudding growing up, but now it's my crack . . . when done properly.

Sometimes you need to eat a bunch of cookies to deal with #quarantinelife

During this pandemic, my (unhealthy) food consumption has been out of control. One day, I was fiending for something sweet to deal with #quarantinelife. After failing to obtain a huge slice of red velvet cake from LA Sweets NY, one of my favorite bakeries in Harlem. In addition to baking amazing cakes and cupcakes, LA Sweets NY is like a 90-second walk from my apt so it’s super convenient for curing a sugar fix. Also, it’s a Black-owned business so double win. For whatever reason, they were closed so I ordered from Insomnia Cookies. The plan was to order the 6 pack of cookies, but I guess that my thumb “slipped” while using Grubhub’s app, and I ended up ordering the 18 pack of cookies. Oh well. #YOLO and I blame COVID-19. ;)

The mint chocolate chip and original chocolate chip were my favorite ones.
