It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Currywurst of Times

I spent most of Monday shopping, packing, cleaning, and getting ready for my trip east. I can’t believe the Surrogate Valentine NYC premiere (buy tix here) is in two days!!!

Late afternoon snacks – yogurt that’s gonna go bad soon….

….last time with these green grapes…

…and later, my first time with the Green Menu card!

You can get 10% off at Berlin Currywurst, a new (teeny tiny) place in Silver Lake…

…specializing in Germany’s #1 street food

First, you choose your sausage (all hormone and antiobiotic free). The meat (or tofu) gets drowned in homemade organic sauce, which you can customize by heat and flavor:

I went with the Chicken, Heat Level 1, with the Flavor Special – Orange Ginger

While we waited for our orders, we split an order of Fritten (organic potato fries with minced onions and jambalaya seasoning)

Dipping options – mayo, ketchup and (hee hee) Inglourious Mustard

We opted for all three…

…though I’m really disappointed there wasn’t a special fancy German mustard, just boring Heinz packets. (Inglorious, indeed!)

Most of the fries swam in the sauce, anyway…

…there was plenty of it left, to sop up with the supplied homemade German bread

Stole one of Abe’s Tofu Bratwurst

It looks just like the meat – sure doesn’t taste the same, though, texture-wise.  He got the Garlic sauce, which (like mine) was very sweet.

Thumbs up to Currywurst! I was just sad I didn’t get a chance to meet the owners like Abe had the last time he was here. Apparently they are lovely (and uber attractive, according to Sophia).

Although it’s right next door to Pazzo Gelato, we still headed to our favorite place for dessert….

…SCOOPS!

Sample of Red Velvet gelato

Also tried the Black Sesame (to continue my breakfast theme)

None of the soy options were very appetizing – I tasted the Cherry Lychee but wasn’t diggin it

Of course, I still ate a bite of Abe’s vegan flavors – Chocolate and Orange/Cinnamon Coffee

Opted for a Kid Size of what Scoops is famous for – their Brown Bread Gelato

I found a recipe for this flavor, but I don’t believe that Scoops’ version uses bread crumbs? I can only taste grape nuts, so I’ve no idea why it’s still called “Brown Bread.”

So wonderful. Any night that ends there is one filled with happiness and puppy dogs.

Literally:

Got nibble-y right before bed at midnight and snacked on some dried fruit…

…plus a whole lotta candy. I have to go to the dentist today. (These two things are related, I’m sure.)
