Bits and Bites

Posted by Heather / 1 comment » / chinese, chocolate, coffee, shopping


More bits and bites from our recent food outings.

  • Recently, we visited Nashville’s Ten Thousand Villages for their “One Scrumptious Chocolate Celebration.” We enjoyed sampling the very good chocolate goodies all made with fair trade chocolate, and printed copies of the recipes were available for taking home. I look forward to making the pumpkin chocolate brownies!
  • While in the area, I stopped at Chinatown, right next door to Ten Thousand Villages, for a quick lunch (picture above). Chinatown is definitely standard American Chinese food – not especially spectacular or note-worthy – but of note is their service: friendly, kind, just right. And a quick lunch is $5.50.
  • After our visit to the opening of Ugly Mugs, I’ve been on the lookout for my own setup to make iced Vietnamese coffee. My goal was to find the items in town and not order online. I found the coffee at the International Market, and the filter (sans top, but oh well) at K&S World Market on Nolensville. Now I need to figure out how to store an unfinished can of sweetened condensed milk.

    Have you tried the K&S off Charlotte Ave?

    The one that's right next to Miss Saigon
