Since I never get fed by Ed or Tammy I had to take myself out for a nice dinner with my brother steve so we decided to go to Wendys. Most people would have chosen the regular Mcdonalds or Burger King, but no. Me and Steve wanted to go to wendys. If you ask me it was a bold decision. But it turned out to be the best decision of my life. It was like eating at figs with a lot smaller price.I got a juicy double cheeseburger with a medium frie and a diet soda. It was the best burger I have ever had in my life. It was way more satisfying then beating Chris in a game of Fifa. When I got home I also decided to make myself a bowl of cereal. Now it wasn’t any boring cereal. I had cookie crisp. If you don’t know what cookie crisp is then your weak sauce. This is a cereal that is supposed to be like mini cookies in milk and was a great way to top off a wendys meal.

The past weekend I went to New York City and experienced a variety of smells and aromas. I traveled the city with my friends and tried multiple food carts. Nuts for nuts was one of my favorites and of course I had a soft pretzel or two. But the real treat of the trip was wandering around until we came upon a small burger shop called "burger heaven" from the street location you wouldn't expect anything fancy however upon walking in you wouldn't be disappointed the least bit. It was like a old classic drive in diner and had a bar and stools and stainless steel everywhere. It was a nice little place and of course my first instinct upon looking at the menu was to go right for the burger section of it. I decided to get a bacon cheeseburger with French fries and a coke, a pretty classic meal. By the time the food came out my mouth was watering and the looks of the burger sure did not disappoint, it was cooked to perfection an my fries were amazing I would highly recommend it . The service was also great we got a young kid around my age who was nice and friendly. A random day in the city turned out to be a great one and I found a great restaurant I'm sure ill be eating at again. It just goes to show you never know what you might find in the streets of New York. Also I have the business card and address for next time!

    As I cook by myself more and more often, I have come to see that the easiest and most versatile food to create is pasta. The act of making the pasta is very easy (assuming you buy pre cut pasta) which is very nice, but then the fact that you can put any sort of sauce on top, and change the entire dish is really amazing. You can go from a very healthy pasta dish, with a pesto sauce, and then you can go in the complete opposite direction and make a creamy alfredo sauce and pile on the cream.
    The bad thing about making pasta though, is that I am limited to ingredients that are in my house. Normally that would be fine, but I have found that I end up doing the same sauce every time. Currently I have been making an oil sauce with just onions, garlic and mushrooms. It’s really simple, and I really need to branch out and try new things.
    I think the next kind of pasta dish I would like to make would be some sort of creamy spinach sauce. I remember when I visited my Uncle, he made me something similar to that with pignoli nuts. It was in all honesty one of the best things I had ever tasted, and I would really like to try and recreate it. Maybe I can mimic what he did, and possibly make it better.

My lunch at Maggie McFly’s I had lunch at Maggie McFly’s with my family. The restaurant was in Southbury. I had cheeseburger sliders and French fries. There were 4 sliders with ketchup, bacon and American cheese. The French fries were steak fries. I ordered a special Spongebob drink. It was a banana flavored milkshake. The burgers were just right, the fries were a little soggy and the milkshake was awesome. The milkshake was served in a sundae glass. It had a seedless maraschino cherry on top and a caramel drizzle. My lunch was very good and I would order it again. Jamie B.

                December is quite possibly the best month of the year for a kid like me. Christmas of

course, a week and a half long break, and all my siblings coming home from college so my

parents make fresh home cooked meals every night thinking they were just starving for months.

Then when we don’t get a home cooked meal, we get to go out, it’s great. One of the more

memorable meals that I had was the one at this new steak house in Danbury. It is called

Barbarie’s Black Angus Grill. I got a 20 oz. rib steak on the bone with sides of breaded mac n’

cheese, and mashed potatoes. The steak was perfectly seasoned with a delicious taste of pepper.

It was extremely succulent and not gamey at all. Everyone says the entire flavor is in the fat, but

personally I don’t see it. The entire steak was out of this world. Besides, the fat takes me about

10 minutes to chew and swallow, it’s too much work for me. By the time I finished the steak it

was hard for me to finish my sides, but I couldn’t stop eating. The mac n’ cheese was extremely

gooey (in a good way) and cheese stringed from piece to piece as I scooped it from its bowl. The

mashed potatoes were also good, but nothing special. I would’ve thrown a little extra salt on

them (which I did) but they were good. For dessert, they brought out a platter of every single

dessert they had. When I saw it, my jaw literally dropped, but there was just not enough room in

my stomach for more food, so I sadly had to pass. I’ll certainly make sure to leave some room

next time… that is if I can control myself.

             November was a month of nothing but food. Given the fact that it was the month with

thanksgiving, a holiday that everyone looks forward to. You get to see family and friends and eat

all of the delicious food you could want. Of course the days leading up to it are treacherous

because I starve myself in order to make as much room for food as possible. But when that day

finally arrives, there’s nothing but smiles on my face. Most people when they think of the

Thanksgiving feast, they think turkey. But I feel as if the turkey is always dry. I look forward

most to the stuffing and mashed potatoes. I still to this day never really know what the stuffing is

made of but I just go with it anyway because of how delicious it is. The mashed potatoes are so

fluffy and just feel like they melt in my mouth. Topped off with shredded cheese, butter and

gravy, it makes for a highly unhealthy but delicious pile of potato. After a few hours of bathroom

runs and football games, out comes the dessert. My moms apple crumble pie that flakes apart

with every bight is so decadent, it’s something you would dream about. It comes to no surprise

that I probably gain ten pounds after November. But hey, good food is worth the sacrifice.
