MY EYES ARE SMALL BUT MY APPETITE IS NOT

I'm feeling greedy & hungry today so I've decided to dedicate this blog to my favorite things to eat. I'll hit all of the highlights as I know that I love to eat any & everything so there's no way that I'll remember everything or have enough time to list them all, so... And oh yea, I guess I'll categorize them, one cuz it'll make it easier for me to think of foods in the same category and two cuz I want to. So here goes...

*Appetizer*
~ Calamari. Dipped in the right sauce that is. Everybody can't make the right marinara.
~ Spinach, artichoke & cheese dip. Yum
~ Any appetizer from Friday's, notably the sesame jack chicken strips & fried mac & cheese. Did I mention that that is one of my favorite restaurants? Everything on their menu is good. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal from there. Ever.
~ Egg drop soup. My dad makes the best. He puts crab meat & bamboo shoots among other goodies in there....

*Main Entrees*
~ Anything Italian: pasta, spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna... etc.

~ BBQ: chicken, ribs, etc. I think everything tastes good with BBQ sauce. haha. Oh & my favorite store-bought is the Kraft brown sugar one. My favorite restaurant sauce is the Jack Daniel's from Fridays. It's the greatest. I swear I'll dip anything in the Jack Daniel's sauce.

~ Turkey burgers

~ Asian food. I like stir fried, lomein, & certain exotic dishes. I ate it all of my life growing up so only have a craving for it occasionally. Same goes for Actor with BBQ stuff. I don't like sushi though. Naw to raw. lol. The only sushi I'll eat is California rolls & maybe tempora. But it's fried so it doesn't count...

~ Steak. I'll eat a steak almost anywhere I go. If they have steak I'd probably try it. My favorite steaks are: Ihop's Top sirloin steak (believe it or not, theirs is on my top 10) Golden Corral's steak & bacon wrapped steak and when I make mine at home with A-1 NY steakhouse marinade.

~ Soul food. Man do I love me some soul food. I'm glad I got a black boyfriend. lol. (Before you start marching on me, me & Actor make racist jokes toward each other all the time. It's part of our humor. So chill out. haha) But yea, I love me some greens, corn bread, sweet potato pie, and everything inbetween. I can't wait for Christmas. More on that in another blog...

~ Jambalaya. I like California Pizza Kitchen's & mine. Just made some last night. Yay.

~ A dish we get at a this restaurant ("Pho Dai Loi" look them up!) It consists of white vermicelli (noodle), shrimp, cut up egg rolls, grilled pork (Actor's favorite part), peanuts, fried garlic & you pour fish sauce over it. Yummy.


*Desert*
~ Banana pudding
~ Sweet potato pie
~ Brownies
~ Cake & ice cream
~ Combine the previous two & you get: *drum roll*....Brownie Sundae!!! The best! Especially if the brownie is warm. "Up the Creek" has the best one.
~ Peach cobbler *drools* (Peaches are my favorite fruit & is now my favorite color. My former color was yellow.)
~ Cheesecake. With good strawberry topping. Not the extract crap. Ihop has good strawberry toppings. I get it on my French Toast combo. But I've never eaten the cheesecake thingie there... Hmm, I have a mini mission now. Off to Ihop!
~ Fried banana with ice cream. The best. Ru Sans has it.
~ This Vietnamese thingie, I shall call it wine marinaded rice cuz I have no idea what it's called. Tried to google to no avail... But anyways, it's basically rice balls in wine juice. I dunno, hard to explain but it's delicious. Has a sweet & tangy taste.

Well kids, that is all for now. I shall post my list of favorite fast food items in an upcoming post.

Till next time,
Akanke
