Once you Pop, you can't stop!

Today for show and tell at work I brought in my favorite Pop Chips of ALL Time ~ BBQ! I made a ton of new friends once I opened the bag :D Yeah, instant popularity, right?! LOL Ok....I will stop laughing at my own silliness. Let's just say I was excited to have my BBQ Pop chips, but, not so much to share :)

I portioned out my mini serving before I shared.

I then let all my co-workers dive in. Everyone absolutely LOVED them and agreed this is the best flavor yet. I couldn't agree more. This is the flavor to buy if you buy any flavors at all - I am telling you, they are better than real deal and your fingers STILL get all BBQ-y (yes, it's a word!) but not greasy. Word of caution though - they are highly addictive and you will not want to share :D

Along with my Pop Chips this morning I had a normal snack - yup, it's normal to me LOL. An organic apple with ~ 2 Tbsp raw almonds.

Last night for lunch I had pulled out a serving of the Lentil Soup I made on the BL Jump Start plan to have for lunch today. Then, I realized that I didn't have anything to make up the side salad to go with it (booo! hiss!) So, what's a girl to do? Stop and get salad stuff - NO! She goes ou to lunch instead. Can you guess what and where?

Yup ~ Sushi Mambo! It's the best way to end a week and I still got in my soup ~ Miso Soup!

Followed up with two rolls - I had 1/2 of this one ~ Supercalifragilistic! Crab and Tempura Shrimp Roll topped with Salmon, Maguro, with sweet Sesame Sauce and Wake Me.

Isn't that fish plate cute??? I thought I wasn't going to like the salad on top but it was actually quite tasty. I still think I prefer the spicy raw fish rolls over the fried tempura shrimp ones.

Next up - I LOVE the Name - so fuuny! Just 4 The Halibut! Spicy Tuna, Hamachi, and Salmon topped with Halibut and broiled with a Zesty Sauce. I had 3 pieces of this roll.

This roll was very much like the volcano. We added avocado and cucumber, but, I am not sure I LOVED it. They serve it warm (they broil the fish on top) and I am not sure sushi should be warm.

And a trip to Sushi Mambo can never be made without ordering The Volcano. Tuna, Hamachi, and Salmon, over Rice, broiled with a Zesty Sauce. I had 1/2 of this volcanic peak!

This is always my favorite dish and I LOVE how it looks like a volcano. It is definitey spicy with the Sriyachi sauce but THAT is what makes it so good.

On our way back, I had promised my co-worker a trip to the Rocky Mountain Fudge Factory. I managed to get away with just a bite of this thing called the Avalanche! OMG - so good - picture rice crispy treat meats big marshmallows, meats white chocolate, meats baby dark chocolate chips.
