Oct. 28
Still eating banana bread (this one looks kind of chocolate-chipless).


Red Robin leftovers.



A liiiittle bit of chili and a corn muffin.

Alright, Computer. Ready for Round Two?

My anger lingers. But let's get back to the October madness while this thing is still workin'.

Oct. 26
Mmm, look at this fresh, crisp (also kinda funny-lookin') sandwich.


Later my sister and I got Starbucks and played Scrabble with the "'rents". (Caramel Apple Cider - or whatever they're calling it now - if you wanted to know! Quite good, albeit very sugary.)


And here is our end board. Don't you just love our positivity? I mean, trashy? Tomb? Sin? Die? Purge? Offset nicely by things like duck and Jew.

Oct. 27
Let's get right to it: Red Robin. I've only been there twice, and I actually ate more this time (last time I just had a few fries and the Freckled Lemonade). I got the lemonade again, and my friend got the amazing-looking fizzy drink that I forget the name of, but it looked amazing (and tasted pretty good too, from what I tried).


For an appetizer we had the onion ring tower thing. It came with a couple sauces.. some kind of orange BBQ sauce and.. I dunno, ranch? I only got an eensy bit of the bbq (it was too far away from me ~_~).


I had the Teriyaki Chicken Burger. I ended up not being all that in the mood for it, which sucks, but if I were in a pineapple-y mood it might be good. Sadly I wasn't! Stupid taste buds!


Mmm fries and ketchup.


And soon after Red Robin we went to Blockbuster and to Cheeburger Cheeburger for milkshakes. We both had Chocolate Cheesecake w/ Oreo!! Mmmm. They're really good!


Ok, to be honest, I've been dawdling. I got caught up on reading some forums so I've had this kinda sitting here barely working on it for an hour or two. Now we're going to dinner (Applebee's) in like half an hour and I have to get ready. I really don't take that long, but I just don't have time for this. So I'll be back soon! Hopefully this post is pretty enough in the meantime.

To Be Continued...

Nevermind, I AM going back to October. Only pictures I really like or that have a use, though! Actually, this is going to be the great end-of-October (24th+) wrap up.

Oct. 24
We got Panera. I guess it was just some random day that my dad picked it up for us. I had the 'You Pick Two', of course. The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, Garden Vegetable Soup, and Whole Grain Baguette.


Oct. 25

Skim Sugar-Free Cinnamon Dolce Latte. They're not bad. Mainly they're one of my ways of getting away with having good-tasting coffee while still being able to eat other sugary things.

In other news, I finally got my Kashi free snack after waiting for a really long time! I was shocked, I seriously thought it would never show up. Not that it showed up in that great of a condition...



Oh my gosh. I hate my friggin computer. So much. Anyway, please realize that I have major uber frickin computer issues that enrage my spirit with the intensity of a massive meteor plunging into the depths of the ocean and drowning the earth with its tidal waves of passion. That's why this post is incomplete. It's like my computer has a jazillion viruses that are causing a jazillion times infinity issues. I hate it. I hate it SOOOOOOOOOO much. I'm gonna kill whoever first invented viruses with a very dull blade.

Enchanted Bread

I'm a lazy arse. You know which cookies aren't good for the holidays? THE ONES THE $&*!^#@ INTERNET PUTS ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!! WITHOUT PERMISSION!!!!

I had this stupid virus the other day. I think I got it from downloading something, or a freaking website or something. It's "Ultimate Defender" and it manifests as a fake spyware program that looks an awful lot like the Microsoft one. The most annoying thing was I had to dig into all this stuff. End processes, virus scans, and then find/delete registry keys and files and whatnot. Ad-Aware didn't take care of it, and 'Trend Micro Pc-cillin' kinda sucks in the way of virus testing, but I downloaded this SpyHunter thing which found everything I needed to delete. Only problem was, I had to find them and delete them myself because the unregistered version wouldn't do it for me. Oh well, enough rambling about that. But what a pain in the lazy arse...


Oooh yes, so I saw Enchanted last night. I was actually expecting it to be good, but it really was. It was probably a bit better than I expected. I wish movie trailers weren't so gratuitous these days, they always put so much in (even if it doesn't give away the story, it's still a mix of ruined 'funny' lines, cool action, and plot elements that by the time you see the movie it's not fresh anymore; it's "oh, I saw that in the trailer ten billion frickin' times"). But anyway, Enchanted = funny, entertaining, will probably get on DVD, but obviously not in my top 5 favorite.

My picture of loaves of bread (banana bread at least) always turn out sucky. The ones of the fresh, gooey, chocolatey slice in the daylight, however, look better (imho).

This Post is Lame, They're All the Same

I have to do this. I have to post something because the longer I go without, the deader my blog will be. There really is no correct way to say "more dead" because nothing is more dead than anything else. If it's dead, it's dead. But I digress.

Cheese is good (fatty, but good).


I bought these Hershey's Sticks a while ago (HersheyPark) and tried them a shorter while ago and they're nothing special. Fine-tasting, typical chocolate, but nothing special. (2010 Update: I still have them sitting in a box, I think it's time to toss 'em).


Blogging is supposed to be fun. Why can't I make it fun?

Short and Sweet (like honey!)

All-natural honey mustard from Safeway rocks!!


This was a yummy dinner of turkey burger and pasta salad. It had ketchup on it though, not the honey mustard.


Ok, that is all. Oyasumi nasai!

Random Shiznit

Hercules mug. I love fun mugs, like Disney ones!

Burritoooo!!! Ole!

Here's a random fact about me! One of my favorite parts of the Caramel Macchiato is the caramel-y foam. And it doesn't always end up that way, so it's a novelty when it does!


Hummus is yummus.


Lastly, here is my prize for winning (or at least finishing) Chocolatier!!

I'm bored. Obviously, I'm playing things like "Chocolatier."

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Aaahhh!!!! It's Thanksgiving, and at the moment only 11 am. I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Good Charlotte is performing right now. Now this Sarah Brighton is singing on a boat full of pirates. And some of them are acrobats..

Anyway, I'm gonna use blogger as a sort-of escape today to pass the time and get something accomplished. Ugh man, I feel and look so crappy today. And I'm being lethargic!

Now for another installment of the search for the perfect Pecan Twirls (we found them, by the way ;) but it'll be in another post). These are Mrs. Freshley's, which they sell at Safeway. I think they can be found other places, but that's where we see 'em.


They look good, but they suck. I don't remember why, but I know they do. I think they just weren't moist, which is essential. I'm just so mad at Safeway for abandoning their delicious store brand for this crap!!!

Speaking of Safeway, Eating Right Cashew Chicken.


Besides the sodium, the nutrition facts aren't bad. The meal was actually pretty good though!! Here's the best pic I took..


It really does taste better than it looks! Like if I saw this I'd be like "yeah, ok.." but it WAS good! Haha, I love how I'm talking about packaged sweets and frozen food on THANKSGIVING. Which is totally not about that. So.. to redeem myself, I'll share some mostly home-cooked dinner shots.


So this was lemon-herb peppercorn marinated chicken, boiled potato, and Pepperidge Farm (Enriched!) Club Rolls, and broccoli (which was from frozen, but hey..).


I'm a loser.

Mini Product Review

I tried some Almond Breeze. The store didn't have unsweetened, so I just got regular. It still taste too gross and watery. No offense to anyone who likes it, but it didn't taste remotely similar to real milk. Also has only 1g protein. And so it's not worth buying to me. I also got this coffee-mate vanilla caramel powder creamer at the last minute, so I got a crappy-for-you creamer with partially hydrogenated oil and corn syrup in it. I'm probably not gonna use it much.


Nutrition facts:

Stupid Post from Stupid Me

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH.. I'm sick of ME.

I'll still share some pictures because it's what I do.


Pasta Plus leftovers. I guess this was the first half. The second half I ate the eggplant and sauce off of.. but I didn't eat much of the noodles—cuz I was really pissed at the time—so I trashed the rest. It looks kinda weird anyway lol.

So yeah, I've felt sucky since last night. I'm acting all emo, but I can't help it. I just feel all blah and blue.

I got these shoes a while ago and haven't worn 'em yet. Not sure what to wear them with..... I don't usually do those colors or hells, but they were on sale. Hah, I was trying to position them like they do in catalogs or something. It utterly failed, but at least you can see it has a little heel!


Backseat groceries! Oo-lala.


Yeah, that was in October when it was still WARM enough for Frappuccinos..

This is what me getting tired of blogging looks like:

Pasta Plus

No, not extra pasta. It's the name of the restaurant we went to for my sister's birthday! (over a month ago..)

It's a fairly nice restaurant. I didn't get any pics really of my surroundings, but based on the table it looks nice, doesn't it?


And there was bread.


Bread with oil...


Bread with butter...


And I do realize that bread isn't that thrilling. The bread itself was really thick and pillowy. Good, but not truly special. But we're moving away from the starchy carbs for a moment to have an oh glorious salad.


That was nice. Now back to your regularly scheduled utter carbs.
(Wait- salad review. If I remember correctly, I think it was also good but nothing to get up and dance about. Coulda done with more tomato!! I like them.)

Wow. It's, um.. hard to decide on photos. It's between the kinda dark and grainy one and the really high exposure(?) one. I'll let you pick.


It's like reality vs. neon colors.

So... what I got was Fettuccine Verde. Spinach fettuccine with eggplant, ricotta cheese, and tomato sauce. I'm glad the fettuccine was healthy(-ish), but it was all stuck together in a big mound. I guess since there was no oil on it or something. So I'm on the fence.. I don't like having to DIG and RIP into my noodles to eat!


What was left:


I had some tiramisu for dessert. I now realize I'm really not a tiramisu kinda girl. I should've gotten the mousse cake. Rich, dense, chocolatey. I'm THAT kind of girl. Tiramisu is fine though.


Mission: Complete.
