Afters Ice Cream


I love cookie monster ice cream! I think it is now my all time favorite ice cream besides cookie and cream of course.  There are no seats inside maybe that’s just the look they are going for so that people can take pictures with the backdrop.   Who knows.  Anyway,  I got my cookie monster and it was much needed for this crazy weather we are having.  I sampled the milk and cereal, it was pretty good too and I hear the Vietnamese coffee one taste just like the real drink.  You can also get an ice cream sandwich, they use glazed donuts kind of like Krispy Kreme.  Here are a few pictures I snapped while there.

4th Street Market

It’s my first time visiting the 4th Street Market in Santa Ana.  I thought it would be much bigger, but regardless of the size, there were plenty of eaters to choose from plus a couple dessert places and coffee.  There is also an outdoor area with lots of picnic style tables.  There are table games towards the back area such as jumbo size Jenga, connect 4 and table tennis.  I’m not sure if there is other things to play with I didn’t get a chance to look around.  There is also a stage in the picnic area for local performers to entertain, that was pretty cool.  Anyway, when I do get the chance to come back I would love to walk around the area and try other food places.

The first place we tried is Pig Pen Delicacy.  We ordered the Pork Belly fries and I loved it!  The crispy pork belly was delicious paired nicely with the creamy cilantro sauce.  I would definitely recommend this.




We also went to Jenny’s Pizzeria to try a slice of pizza.  Out of all the pizza, this one caught my attention because well, it was so different.  Spaghetti and meatball Pizza!  Defiantly something to try.  It was good and different my boyfriend loved it.





The Stockyard Sandwich Company is the last place we tried.  We ordered a Short Rib Poutine with tater tots and a Pulled Pork sandwich.  The short rib poutine was delicious! I love tater tots I can never get enough.  But anyway,  I love the pickled onion because it lighten things up from the gravy and short ribs.  The Pulled pork sandwich was also nice.  The egg yolk gave it a nice creamy texture with the soft moist pork and the refreshing slaw was a nice balance.  I think this one was a winner for my boyfriend.
