hosting a sleepover with a friend who loves ramen…

Carryout from Coco’s ramen, Sf ca - first time here since February 2020 if not prior…
it’s Chinese-owned and decent enough for me as there’s a great ramen combined with sushi and sashimi. Most Japanese places just don’t have all of the above. as much as I love authentic, there are times that I just want it all.

Leftover party food - my child attended an epic birthday party. We got a lot of pizza & cake leftovers.

Q
 

Sugarfire BBQ in St. Louis. My favorite BBQ spot!

Ribs
Brisket
Broccoli salad
Baked beans
White BBQ sauce
St. Louis sweet BBQ sauce
Carolina mustard BBQ sauce

I love Sugarfire and last time I was in St. Louis (almost 2 years ago) we got Sugarfire takeout only to arrive home and realize they forgot our baked beans. I don't order baked beans anywhere but Sugarfire, and it would have been a 40 minute round trip to get more so I had to do without. Happy to scratch that itch yesterday. Alas, we did not get the pork belly hush puppies, which I also love.
