Lazy Sunday

I got to hang out with the boy today which was exciting because I haven't seen much of him in the past 2 weeks. He had to rush off to rehearsal this evening though so I took it upon myself to have a Jane Austin marathon. I finally settled down and watched the 4 part BBC miniseries version of Emma. It's amazing. Go watch it. Right now. Or when you have 4 free hours. Either way, it's one to watch if you like Jane Austin at all. Now I'm watching my favorite, the Kiera Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice. It's just so pretty, I love looking at it. I'm a sucker for the romantic period dramas.

A few days ago I was super excited to find out that the Get Shaved Van (a shaved ice themed food truck) would be down the street from my house. I have the worst luck with the food trucks. They are either too far away or, when they are nearby, I'm at work or I didn't know they were in town. I'm desperately wanting to try The Grilled Cheese Truck. One day...one day...
The Get Shaved Van was amazing though. Completely worth it. Luckily for me we got there before the truck and the line was short. The shaved ice comes with a choice of 3 flavors, ice cream, and special toppings. I tried one of their pre-designed shaved ice they titled "Let them eat cake." It had macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom and then topped with shaved ice with coconut, pineapple, and blue vanilla flavoring topped with some sweetened condensed milk. AMAZING. If you're in the L.A. area try it. Here is the website, they also have a store in Northridge.

The truck.

The shaved ice. (Can you believe this was a small?)
I can't wait for the truck to come around again. Now if I could only catch that darn Grilled Cheese Truck.
