Saturday night date night, our first date night in three weeks due to travel and the husband being sick in between travel. We went to a nearby casual favorite, Rumba Grill, where we shared a bunch of apps and bar bites and everything was great. It is so good to be home. ☀️ #stpete #stpeteeats

Friday night date night:

We rode the e-bikes to Violet Stone and split a cheesesteak (so-so) and long hot pepper cheese fries (really good) and then got soft serve ice cream from Wildflower Ice Cream (excellent).

The weather was 10/10 ☀️

Our dinners from Casita Taqueria: a Casita bowl with pollo tinga on the left and three tacos on the right: fried shrimp, blackened pescado, and pollo tinga.

Our favorite Ciccio’s Cali quit making tacos because they were too popular (???) so we haven’t been getting tacos for take out recently. But tonight we tried Casita Taqueria, which was pretty good. I still miss the Spicy Brazilian chicken tacos from Cali though. #stpeteeats #tacotuesday

A screenshot from Uptown Eats website with their photo of the White cheddar and gouda grits and the description: UPTOWN EATS White Cheddar & Gouda Grits $12.95 Crumbled bacon & sautéed collard greens with smoky paprika-maple-butter over our cracked pepper & white cheddar-gouda grits, topped with a fried egg (GF)

Having eaten at hundreds (thousands?) of Tampa Bay restaurants in the past 32 years, I am an authority and I declare this my favorite dish in all of St. Pete. I have had it many times over the years and it always hits, even for take out. #stpete #stpeteeats @chadmize.bsky.social

IAmSoNotCool Vintage store. I did not buy anything but had a nice chat with the young person working inside while I waited for food to be ready that I had ordered next door. If I was not on a clothing buying freeze, I could have found many cool things here. Well curated shop.

A case of pastries at Uptown Eats in St. Petersburg. I brought home a Pb&j blondie, a coconut pie bar, and a pistachio lemon shortbread bar, in addition to my Gouda grits
