So here are the options my Urbanspoon app on my iPhone gave me when I put in “dessert” (although what I really wanted is Cantonese style curry fish cakes and beef tripe… yeah… dream on for that one):
Baskin & Robins
Panera Bread
Starbucks Coffee
Dairy Queen
Seriously! America – this is ALL that you have to offer? So I have to either stand in line with a bunch of kiddos for ice cream or drink coffee from a paper cup that cost $5???

With that anger and frustration building up inside me and my hunger increasing every single passing minute, I went into my favorite local groceries store (Joe Caputo) and picked up $30 worth of snacks… it sounds like a lot and yes it was embarrassing when the ladies working at the pastry counter chuckled when I can’t stop ordering their decadent sweets… but I can tell you it will last me many weekends…
The moment I hit home, I boiled the water for an instant mocha coffee, cut up some strawberries and dried dates, put the olives in a nicer bowl, grabbed 2 of the pastries that I bought (by the way, that cheesecake is to die for), threw some pretzel chips into a bowl to go with the guacamole (which was SOLD OUT last weekend) and put all of that on my coffee table and WALA~ I have my DIY afternoon tea set…
I think I need to start investing in some fine china…
