I Ate the World’s Biggest Donut

Hello! Are you ready for a great week? My lil brother has this week off school for Thanksgiving, anyone else? I better get to Piling on the Miles because there was so much good food this weekend. Oh my gosh, where do I even start. Carbs on carbs on carbs.

First, after my run Saturday I bought some treats for the weekend. I wanted to try this Danish Kringle last holiday season, but didn’t have a good reason to buy it. Ben is here this week so I got it knowing he would love it too. (I got a surprise visit recently, which probably inspired my post the other day.) We’ll get back to the Kringle in a minute.

Saturday night we went to California Pizza Kitchen because I remembered their magical pear gorgonzola pizza. I hadn’t been there in years, but I used to be obsessed with it. Obsessed. My family offered to take me anywhere after my graduation and I picked CPK.

I ordered for us because I’m good at food. The pear gorgonzola pizza is amazing, try it. The other one had bacon, leeks and eggs. It wasn’t my favorite pizza ever but it was good too.

This morning my exercise was just a walk with Vegas.

Just kidding, he wasn’t into it. Someone driving by stopped because he thought it was so funny. I was just being silly, but became the neighborhood weirdo once again. “Mirar la gringa loca…”

Post walk: I busted out the Danish Kringle. It is a pastry stuffed with almond paste. If you’re into almond paste or filled pastries – try it!!

I think it looks like a massive donut but it’s not really a donut texture at all. It’s a flakey pastry. You must heat it because eating or it’s just not right.

Then, I headed to my mom’s for a little puppy visit. They are the cutest dogs in the world and I want to roll around in the grass with them all day.

I found some super ripe avocados in the fridge and made dinner around that. I made tostadas and salad and ate all the avocados I could. My family has two avocados trees so there are times when it’s my duty to eat them.
