genius pancakes

by erica on December 20, 2009

Ingredients: Bisquick, milk, almond butter, blueberries, craisins, lots of butter for the pan & peanut butter drizzle.

Look at how the peanut butter is drizzled, that is essential! Be sure to flip when the edges lightly brown and the pancake starts bubbling.

Gummy Bears

by erica on November 22, 2009

It’s a tragic dilemma I find myself far too familiar with. An average afternoon on my way home from school, it hasn’t been the best day, perhaps I didn’t do too well on my bio quiz or I just didn’t like the weather, but I know what I need to cheer me up. I take the long way home so I can pass by Rite Aid. I dart into the store and arrive at the candy aisle. This is where I face the moral dilemma. I don’t know which brand of gummys to buy. Haribo or Black Forest?

HARIBO

BLACK FOREST


I like Haribo because they are always very firm! In my opinion it is just the premium choice, but often it can be stale and more expensive. It comes in bulk in 3 LBs but there is no zipper to keep them fresh.

Black Forest are always very juicy and flavorful. The green flavor is delicious. It comes in bulk in 5LBs and has a zipper to ensure freshness!

My conclusion: If you are buying just a small packet go Haribo, but if you are buying in bulk for a roadtrip or music festival go Black Forest!

Tazo Tea Disaster

by heymollyg on October 19, 2009

It was a typical Wednesday afternoon, around my schools lunch hour, when my friends and I took our little venture on over to the nearest Whole Foods, to pick up a fast, tasty lunch. I was particularly ecstatic that day, because Whole Foods was offering Indian food, not a choice they offer daily, but my own personal favorite. To add to my current excitement, I thought I might try an Arnold Palmer, by the famously known tea company called Tazo. I had only heard good things about Tazo tea, so I assumed that their Arnold Palmers were just as equally satisfying. As I sat down to eat, I excitingly opened my drink, and took a sip. The first idea that came into my mind was horror. The taste was awful, and the smell, even worse. I thought to myself, maybe by the second sip, the funky taste , that resembled the poo appearance the drink came in, will eventually fade away. But by the second sip, I knew where that puppy was headed for, and that was the trash. I asked my friends to try it, thinking I had some kind of weird genetic defect to the taste. My friends could all agree, that something was wrong with that Arnold Palmer, either the expiration date was off, or Tazo tea has yet to master their Arnold Palmers. Either way, I was seriously disappointed, maybe next time, I will stick to making my own Arnold Palmers, or start out with low expectations.

Arnold Palmer by Arnold Palmer himself.

home_drinks2I find it a little too sweet, definite overdose on the lemonade, and clearly it’s not fresh and has added preservatives. I would expect a better drink from AP himself. However, it’s convience and price factors must not be neglected. You can pick it up at your local grocer!

Overall, what is lacks in taste it makes up for in convenience and authenticity.

5.8/10

Taste of Thai- Del Mar.

October 3, 2009

Gaeng Mussaman Kai: tender chicken breast with potato, carrot & cashew nuts in traditional southern Thai curry, served with cucumber salad. 10/10. Awesome!

Ginger Chicken: 8.7/10. Always a good choice.
Pad Thai ( a classic): 8.5/10. Very good just missing a “kick”.

It consists of rice, chicken and a whole load of other ingredients that I don’t even want to know being the picky [...]
