Solo Brunch: Leftover Davis Noodle City

Ben's working all day so I was left to my own devices for filling my Saturday.  I can't complain about my brunch though, because sometimes you just need some Law and Order and some leftover Chinese food.

After work yesterday, I met up with Erin in Davis for dinner, Target, and frozen yogurt.  We ate at one of our favorite Davis restaurants, Davis Noodle City.  We had Five Spice Beef with noodles, Pork Wonton Noodle Soup, and Pork potstickers.  The wonton noodle soup is definitely my favorite thing to order there (and Erin's too!).  Also it was not crowded at all, which is a rarity for restaurants in Downtown Davis on a Friday night.  We ate until we were stuffed, packed our leftovers up, and headed to Target, where I spent $60 on things I did not intend on buying while making room for frozen yogurt at Yoloberry, an activity I deemed mandatory despite our stuffed condition after dinner.

Part of me has now gone into panic mode, trying to figure out what things need to be done with Erin before she leave for the summer.  Davis Noodle City was definitely pretty high on the priority list, but here's a few other things that need to happen before she leaves me for the East coast.

1. Sisters weekend with Samantha either in Sacramento/Davis or the Bay Area (complete with meal funded by Dad?  Hint?)
2. Brunch, where I inevitably make fun of Erin for ordering only sides.
3. Popsicles - it's kind of hard to bring these to Davis in tact, so I'm going to have to demand that Erin comes here.
4. Ben observed that Erin's always on top of all the popular youtube videos - I'm going to need an update so I feel in touch with pop culture.
5. Nail painting?  To be honest Erin, this is going to happen with or without you.

Today I braved Costco and I got my monthly allotment of dried mangos, along with a few other fruit items to turn into popsicles.  I learned that it's a lot easier to avoid impulse-buys when I'm actively fearing a collision with a stroller or shopping cart.  Also it's easier to avoid getting a Costco hot dog when there's a line of 30 people and no where to sit.
