Dorthy Root Beer

Maybe I should look at Wholesale Insurance term life insurance quote, with all the pop I drink. I have bad habits. Tonight at the store my hubby and I found some Root Beer, and we decide it would be great to try the root beer.
It is pretty good, and doesn’t leave a after taste. It tastes close to AW Rootbeer it good enough to drink it and get it again. It comes in what seems to be a glass bottle, and it has a old woman picture on it. The design isn’t exactly something that would stand out very easily, what made it stand out is that it was on sale. So hey it’s worth trying for 99c, I know talk about impulse shopping. Sometimes I do great at not impulse buying but sometimes I do not do good at it.
The rootbeer was very good and I like it, so I will probably look for the brand again. I wonder if they make cream soda.

A year with Sam Club membership

At first hubby and I felt having a Sam Club membership would be more money then if we just bought our food from a regular store. When dad moved in he ate threw certain things like it was going out of style and we where spending on cereal along over 50 bucks a month, Yeah I know shocking. On Syrup which I can’t only blame dad on we ate throw a bottle every 2 weeks to every month. Forget about Olives and other things. Well we decided to give Sam Club a try, we needed to do something.
We buy one big box of cereal for dad once or maybe twice a month depends on who helping him eat it. We get a package of olives and it last a while, and other things. So some thing I decide I would get there because I would rather spend a money right away and not buy for 3 months then buy every other week to month and something once a week. We have ended up saving money, and getting other things from Sam Club like our Blue ray DVD player after the first on was defective and the place we got it did not have it.
One thing I would like to see if they have is a digital frame, that could be a cool gift for someone.
Lets see overall I am happy with my membership. There are some downsides to Sam club. For the most I can find help when I need it but it is challenging. Usually their staff are not as knowledgeable as you’d like them to be in electronics but they do try.. For the most we have been treated pretty great. They will not do price matching not even with Wal-Mart which you’d think they could or their prices would be the same, because if I am not mistaken don’t Wal-Mart own Sams or the other way around.

Ritz handy Snacks

I found a snack I like, they are small and easily used for watching calories. I think my dad would like these who passed away from Mesothelioma. I love the cheese in them, and the little crackers. I have normally one of those in the afternoon. Man I am dead tired today, hopefully tonight will not be a long night.
Well back to my snacks they come in little packages with about 5 crackers I always have enough cheese to have extra so I eat that too. I think these are one of my favorite snacks.

Burger King

Last night on our way to the casino with dad we decided to stop at burger king. My husband is dieting and counting calories I am watching calories but not dieting the way he is. I only eat burger king once in a while, so I don’t need the most effective diet pill but I do need to be careful what I order. I have to admit I wasn’t very happy last night with customer service there, or attitudes. Seemed the workers were all acting like they really didn’t want to be there.
I ordered chicken fingers and it was not good, it lift a bad taste in my mouth and I needed to eat some strong candy to get read of the taste. The Dr. Pepper when it was picked was spilling water everywhere, so I couldn’t have that. I had the cheese tots to and just didn’t taste that good to me. I am not sure what happened last night but as far as Burger King was it wasn’t that great

Our expereince at Bloomington Olive Garden

Last night hubby and I went to Olive Garden for dinner, it was to replace our date night. We have found it is challenging to eat there because of hubby mushroom allergies and my pork allergies. Olive garden is a nice restaurant, and we like the atmosphere but finding something to eat is always a challenge just like finding the
best prenatal vitamins. I ordered the chicken Marsala hubby had the chicken pramagaina with Alfredo sauce. It seemed to taste good for hubby and mine tasted very good even as lift overs.

Don Pablos again

On Friday night we take dad out to dinner every week. It gives him something to look forward to. Thank goodness that Don Pablos menu is big enough to make it have great choices so it does not get old quickly. Dad ordered his usual 2 beef tacos, hubby order the bbq chicken and I order chicken rellios and a cheese onion enchalada. Sorry can’t spell them. We had a young man as our waiter he did pretty good at taking care of us.
I have noticed I always order for dad, I feel bad doing it because I bet sometimes he feels like a kid but at Don pablos it very loud and dad doesn’t hear well to begin with. Well dad always like it there, and he eats all his food. I was the only one with lift over, but that normal sometimes.
The food and service was very good and I enjoyed our time there. I wonder what http://www.phenterminereview.com

Our experience at Surabhi LLC in Bloomington MN

Today I told hubby I wanted to go out for Indian food. We went to Surabhi near us. It was pretty good. I will say their menu is almost overwhelming and hubby and I are not sure how the cook can keep up with the menu. It is a very big menu, now that being said they seemed to handle the menu great and our dinner was served to us hot and in a timely manner. Hubby had some chicken dinner, and I had Lamb. I was surprised at the cuts of lamb I got it was great.
The lamb was pretty tender and well seasoned and I know lamb is a meat if not seasoned correctly can taste bad and like hair loss click here to learn more about that. The only thing I have to say about the lamb it was a little bit on the dry side and I would have liked it a little less done, but that being said it was still yummy. I was happy with my dinner. It looked pleasant. They provided a lemon and I squezed it over the meat and it added a very nice flavor. It was seasoned perfectly for me, now I am not a big spice or seasoning fan, but this was seasoned good you could tell it was met.
I had something interesting for desert, it seemed to be drowned in a honey sauce and looked similar to a donuts whole. I think this was my favorite thing. I don’t know why but I liked it.
I tried some of hubby chicken it was medium spicy, it was good and wasn’t so spicy I couldn’t handle it. The most spicy thing was a dip they gave us with that fried bread thing that tastes like a potato chip at least that what it reminds hubby and I of. That was good, I didn’t care about the dipping sauce they gave us.
Customer service was great at one point in time I think we had 2 different people helping us and making sure we got what we needed, it went well because it seemed everyone worked in unity. Customer service was very good, and they where kind. Now if I can just remember that they do not serve Beef or pork products, I could stop asking and look stupid. I am so used to having to say I am allergic to Pork so make sure it not there, but Indians do not eat pork, they don’t eat beef neither, so I can eat what I want. Maybe one time I will try goat and see how it reacts to me.
I hope hubby and I can go back there again soon. We took dad there once and haven’t been back, because dad didn’t like it that much. Dad doesn’t like anything good. So it was nice for a change of pace. The serving sizes are large, so I was able to take some home for lunch this week which is nice.

our experience at Baker Square on Ford Pkwy

Okay if we eat out to much more this month I will need someweight loss products to help me lose my fatness. Last night we ate at Baker Square with our friend. They have changed there menu a lot since the last time we went there, but they still have the Wednesday pie shop special. Hubby and I ordered the same thing, that doesn’t happen to often. We both order the Salmon sandwich, I had fries hubby asked for Peta bread instead of fries. He had the mango lemon aide and I had the blackberry twist lemon aide, it was good. The salmon sandwich to me didn’t seem warm enough, but it was still good, just would have preferred it to be a little warmer.
For desert I had bannanna cream pie, and that was very good. I even ate most of the crust. Overall the food was okay. The server did a good job at taking care of us and giving us the space we neeeded.

Date night at Applebee’s

Last night hubby and I went out for dinner, the places we wanted to go were already closed. So we decided we would go to apple bees and order off there appetizer menu, we are both watching calories, hubby wanted mozzarella sticks, and we just shared a side of those. We order fruit smoothies too, those where good. I pill the bread off of the cheese because I have to watch how much wheat products I eat. The waiter came over, and I said sorry I don’t eat the bread and he told me a lot of customers do that same thing watching calories. Okay if I was overly concerned about my calories I would have not eat the cheese lets face it cheese is high in fat so it probably not classified as a fat burners. Now they claim some cheese are good for burning fat but I find that difficult to believe.
Our drinks came to us right away. My husband and I where talking about them at one point and asked out waiter how much real fruit was being used in them and where told the smoothies where made with fruit puree which is good. Just like real fruit maybe added stuff in it. I still prefer out local smoothie place here.
The mozzarella sticks came shortly after we order them they where nice and warm and tasted good to but I think it hard to mess up mozzarella sticks. Overall we had a nice experience at Apple Bees and our waiter did a good job.

Can’t tire of Don Pablos

It’s been a couple weeks since being able to eat at Don Pablos, it seems it is dad favorite place, so maybe having a few holidays which force him to choose a new place is a good thing, or it could get a little tiring. The food is always great and thank goodness there are many options for me, I can eat all of their sides too. I wonder where they rank in the local food magazines, I know one thing I will not find out on richard willich news.
Dad had his two beef tacos, hubby had his chili and I had the pick two combo and chicken pepper and a chicken taco, for my side I had the corn bread and beans.
At first we thought we might have trouble with our waiter because he seemed a little rough around the edges, but he was new and didn’t know everything, so he was probably thinking hard about what on the menu then other more experience wait staff. He did a very good job in the end of everything. I do have to admit in the beginning I was tempted to ask for our other waitress but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings and I didn’t feel service was bad enough to do that.
I think our favorite part of dinner is the chips we tend to eat through those like it going out of style. They are very good, and we really do like them. The salsa for being mild is very spicy, sometimes it’s to spicy for dad, but he still eats eat. I seem to drink a lot of soda there when I am eating the chips. What tastes good is putting some salt on the chips and dipping it into the salsa. This is a great restaurant for a family night activity but it is very hard to hear each other.
