Indigo Cafe

Dan took me out on a no-reason date! He's a keeper, this guy.


Dan wanted to drive out to Hyde Park to try out Indigo. As I mentioned earlier, we are never in that area, so it was a welcome change.


Dan had a calzone, and loved it. More than he could eat in one sitting, though!


I had the pesto and walnut pasta. Yum. We need to start putting WALNUTS on more foods, people. This is a good thing.

Our service was okay! They were paying a bit more attention to the hordes of people dining outside; it was one of the last nice days where you could eat outside without your teeth chattering, and everyone was taking advantage of it. But we were in no hurry and we enjoyed the quiet niceness of Indigo.


The place didn't stand out to me, really, but I think I've added it to my "safe" list-- you know, the place you go when you're tired of ordering pizza.

Flying Pig #11: Hyde Park

Guess who we found in Hyde Pork!


Did I seriously just say Hyde Pork?

Anyway, Dan and I took a trip to Hyde Park; the pig is front-and-center, but we don't spend much time in the area.


We were even fortunate enough to find a name plaque with this one! Ladies and gents, meet Goldie Hocks. Cuuuuute.



Stop by and see her when you're in Hyde Park Square!

Busken Bakery

The difference between Busken and every other bakery that I'm aware of: Busken's open for 24 hours.

Okay, so I'm sure plenty of bakeries are open all night, to stock the stores they provide for. And yes, it's only the main Busken HQ that's open around the clock. BUT, when it's super late (or early?) and you have a sweet tooth, this Busken branch is like a beacon from heaven.

Frosting shots?! Okay, not my speed, but fantastic nonetheless. I'm a traditional Busken cookie girl myself-- I'm not sure what they put into those things, but I'm assuming any larger dose would be illegal.


Dan went for the doughnuts-- one glazed, one maple. I thought he was going into cardiac arrest when he started eating them.

Ooh, I almost forgot about the tea cookies! I bought a small bag for a gathering. Well received, as usual. Wish I was chewing on a few right now, tell ya the truth...
