Cheer Up With Food

I enjoyed my second visit to SATAY , the food was superb, I loved the music that was played, and the service was prompt! Me and the guys tried Grilled Calamari Satay - marinated and grilled calamari served with sweet and spicy garlic lime sauce. I liked how the calamari was grilled, the texture was fine and the sauce was sublime: The guys had Singha beer from Thailand: Garlic Shrimp - Stir fried Thai style shrimp in their Chef's garlic sauce with Coconut Fragrance Rice : Honey Walnut Shrimp - pan fried shrimp topped with honey mayonnaise and walnuts with white rice: Crispy Chow Mein - Crispy pan fried noodles, vegetables, and shrimp topped with gravy:

Angelina's Pizzeria is my neighborhood pizza place to go! They have good deals and I love the cheeses they put in their pizzas and pastas. I usually get their mushroom pizzas:

For a week my friend, Mikey stayed at our house. One morning he made us fried rice Hawaiian style for breakfast.

The name did fit my meal: Mikey had the Orange Chicken - deep fried pieces of chicken breast covered in a sweet and spicy orange sauce with white rice and vegetables: Bronsen had Garlic Noodles - made with spaghettini, shrimp, asparagus, Shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and parmesan in garlic sauce: Last and not least, we got cheesecakes!

A few weeks ago, the men of my household gathered up ingredients to make Apfelwein , a German apple cider. I think they'll wait 3 months for it to brew, then we'll finally drink it! For now, I'll just watch the yeast inside bubble up:

My favorite part about Hard Rock Cafe is the type of drinks they serve. They have many alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. I had this fruity drink a couple months ago: On Melissa's 21+3 birthday, I had a Grilled Granny Smith Apple & Provolone Burger - topped with sweet maple mustard, lettuce, grilled Granny Smith apple slices, caramelized onions, bacon, and melted Provolone cheese. I never had a burger with apples before, it was an interesting combo:
