Random Foods To Try

Hello all! I hope you are having a relaxing weekend, I'm up to my eyes in homework! I'm still on the hunt for free stuff but I have some recommendations for you in the meantime. Everyone is always looking for the yummiest foods, and I'm in the mood to procrastinate, so I figured I'd let you in on some of my own favorites.

Jack In The Box has the best smoothies ever! My personal favorite is the tropical smoothie, but they have a few more flavors as well. I actually mentioned them in a previous blog, you can find it by typing smoothie in the search bar at the top of the page. Their jumbo jacks are pretty good too.



Sonic has the yummiest grilled cheese sandwiches on the planet. I know that's not something most people go out and buy, but it's one of my favorite foods. Plus I can't cook it to save my life. Pitiful yes, but I always burn the bread and can never get the right amount of cheese. With Sonic, assuming it's made correctly, the bread is lightly buttered and very fluffy, with the perfect amount of cheese. Plus it's the only place you can get grilled cheese for under $2. :D



Great Value's Chicken, Bacon, & Ranch Sauce Pizza is a good choice. It's found only at Walmart as far as I know. It's their off brand pizza, and holy frick, it's fantastic, even the crust is fluffy and great. It's a good size, and you can get it for less than $5.


All of Dunkin Donuts' sweets are wonderful. The donuts of course, are the best part. For those of you that have a sweet tooth, I'd recommend the chocolate and vanilla kreme, they're sweet and super satisfying.


I've mentioned The Beef House in a previous blog, with good reason. I might've mentioned this particular dish before, but it's worth a double take. Every Saturday, the special is blackberry cobbler. It's very yummy, expecially with ice cream. It's not too sweet or to tart, it's the perfect mix.



Napoli's has some fantabulous stuffed mushrooms. And here's the funny part, I actually hate mushrooms! But stuffed mushrooms are just so good I can't help but love them. Napoli's is a family owned restaurant that serves italian food. You also get free hot bread while you wait for your meal. it's a great place to take your family or a date without breaking the bank.




Farm Rich brand cheese sticks are the best cheese sticks evaaaa! I discovered them while working concessions a few years ago. I'm not sure what exactly goes into them(aside from the obvious) but there's an extra wallop of flavor that I love. Now, don't cook them in the oven, the best way to have 'em if from the fryer. Hoh bebe, they're good.


I know it's been slow going with my blogs lately, sorry guys, life happens. I will keep them coming, it's just not going to be super fast until my homework gets done. If you guys know of any free activities or promotions, seriously, let me know! You can find me at www.myspace.com/thedailykricket

Enjoy!


Here's my weekly recommendations:

Movie: okay, it's technically a comedy routine, but if you're having a crappy day, it is the oh-so-perfect way to cheer yourself up. His name is Gabriel Iglesias, and he is hilarious. I like it because he can make me laugh without dropping f bombs every five seconds. It's called Hot And Fluffy. If you want to see some clips of his stuff, look him up on youtube. You won't be sorry.

Youtube video: Look up "The Mean Kitty Song." It's silly, but randomly really catchy. You'll get a giggle out of it.

T.V. Show: The Nanny. It's old and it's awesome. You can see reruns on nick at night every night. It's a family show, but they weasel in plenty of jokes for adults.

Book: Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaardner. It's a book I had to read for philosophy and it's amazing. You learn a lot and it really makes you think. Also, if any of you go to El Centro, take Intro To Philosophy with Mr. Thames. He's absolutely phenomenal!
