Summer = more time for food.

Drum roll please........... It's what you've all been waiting for! FOOD!!!!!!!!! Yum. I have many passions in life, Jesus Christ, hot tea, skittles, fiction, music, and FOOD. Those are just a few. I love how flavors can be mixed and match, and that's not just food. I'm talking about biking outside on a beautiful day while listening to Enya; or laughing like crazy with a nerdy blonde or cool redhead; being dominican in a southern culture; eating chicken with sweet potato; putting coconut in my coffee or lemon in my ginger tea. Flavors are all around us, colors, food, music, people. I suppose that's why I started this blog. I want people to see them, to enjoy them, to learn to mix them up and not be scared to try new things. Let me tell ya, I'm afraid of quite a few things, heights for one, and rabid platypuses (platypi?). What I'm not afraid of is trying new things, and yes, often I have to admit it wasn't that great of an idea but hey, at least I tried it! Did you know that dipping fresh tortilla chips in your coke is quite tasty? Sydney would say I am actually quite the opposite when it comes to clothes, and that's a part of life too, so I guess I'm not a pro at trying EVERYTHING, but I'm working on it. Anyways, this summer I am determined to try as many new things as possible. So far so good, I even reintroduced a few oldies to myself.

 

I went to Newk's for the first time with Alyssa and Katie and man was it good. I'll be returning there. They specialize in Soup, Salad and Sandwiches and have other stuff as well. I had some Italian sandwich that I can't remember the name of, but it was so good. The salami and cheese with the Italian sauce was so...spicy in the sense of spices, not hot. I was already half-way done before I remembered to take a picture.....sorry, it's hard remembering about my blog when my mouth is going having a sensation party.

I went to Starbucks an awful lot. It probably has to do with the fact that I have a rewards card AND a couple weeks ago frapps were HALF OFF!!!!! I tried two new ones that they had. One was Mocha Cookie Crumble. It was like an extra chocolatey mocha. However the second one stole the menu. It's called Coconut Mocha Frappuccino. If I cld be would pick a drink for heaven this would be it. Obviously, it has coffee, chocolate, and coconut. IT IS SO GOOD. If you haven't tried one, go do it! Even, if you don't like coconut that much, if you don't like coffee, what are you doing at starbucks? I suppose their tea is good... If you don't like chocolate, what are you doing on this planet? just kidding!!!!! but seriously...?

 

My dad passes by a farmers market on his way homes and mom asked him to stop by once to get some stuff. THIS is the tomato he found, it was huge! it filled an entire bowl when cut up and served enough for ten tacos. It was well used.

Alright, last one. ROLY POLY. It's a wrap place. They have hot and cold wraps and the choices are endless! I have already taken three friends there. On particular wrap worth mentioning had avocados and a mango chutney in it. That,with the turkey, lettuce,cheese, and other seasonings was amazing, in the words of a friend "that mango chutney left a stain on my heart" and I'll always remember it.
