After visiting with AKT Enterprises, we were starving.. But we don't settle for Subway when we can try something new. On the way home, we found a spot called, "Hubbly Bubbly". Attracted to the interesting choice of font & modern-chic exterior structure, we decided to try it out. Greeted with clean wood floors & walls, the smiling faces behind the food bar prepared our bowls "Chipotle style"; all ranging from selections with their in house hummus, falafels, fixings that included spanish cheeses, lentils, etc. We ordered the lamb & steak salad bowls. The greens were tossed in olive oil, parsley, lemon & onions, sided with tzatziki. We got mazel tots as our appetizer & baklava fingers as our desserts. We've tasted baklava before, but this simple recipe of crispy, flaky & sweet phyllo dough, filled with ground-up pistachios & honey honestly impressed us.

Signing out satisfied & ready for a nap,  Mona

The HIPHOP Thrift Shop | The Bboy Spot

The Bboy Spot, primarily located in Winter Park Fl, held a 2vs2 battle/session/thrift event this afternoon from 12pm-6pm. I walked in through the back garage door into a steamy, tagged up room of training bboys getting down to Old Dirty Bastard inclusive break beats. Surrounding the center cypher were tables of vendors & their eclectic assortment of used items. Everything hip hop, from paint markers, to boomboxes, plenty of well worn pumas & adidas, comic books, and even old school records, this definitely was not just any regular session. I had the pleasure of copping some perfectly sized all white cortez's & a brand new BARS t-shirt for Cheffrey. After the event I got a chance to sit down and interview some of the bboys, highlighting one of the communities very own, MF kids. I spoke with team founder Nate Nocks on Bboy culture, the lifestyle & some goals they have for the community. 

"It's a lifestyle, not just some sport". ( -Nate Nocks) 

Coming soon, to goodcooks. I look forward to going to more Bboy Spot events in the future.

I got to work with Michelle Love today. (she goes by Ashley Michelle, but Michelle Love just seems so her after today) Such a beautiful woman, inside & out. Truly someone who should be modeling. She embodies so much strength & power, yet she's so soft & pretty. You can feel her essence in these photos! I had so much fun, I can't wait to work with her again. Next time, we're going thrifting. Did these for www.goodcooksgoodcrooks.com , check it out!
