What are you Eating/Drinking?

[Terronium-12]

I ordered a pizza from Papa John's for the first time in forever as I didn't feel like spending what my usual choices charge. I now regret that decision as it was undercooked and shockingly bland, how is it that some frozen pizza's are better than what the bigger chains have to offer?

I know it's heavily dependent on area/location (which kind of defeats the purpose of a chain restaurant in my opinion, but what do I know?) but I generally only get pizza from Domino's and Pizza Hut. Papa Johns here isn't bad but they're almost never my first choice.

Sorry you had bad luck.

Pizza Huts new Big New Yorker pizza is pretty good. I've had it a few times

Domino's is my usual choice for cheap pizza, Papa John's had a better deal though and I do like the garlic sauce they give you (at least that part was still good) so I figured I would give them another chance.

Unfortunately the Pizza Hut by me is notoriously bad to the point it's amazing it's even open, which is a shame as I love their cheese sticks.

Sorry you had bad luck.

I wish I could say it was bad luck, unfortunately there is a reason I hadn't ordered from there in quite awhile. Apparently it hasn't improved in that span.

I've been here before. We all have.

Well that sucks. What about Little Caesars? Is that an option for you?

Had Five Guys for lunch today. The burger was better than I remember from the last one a dozen years ago but their fries still absolutely suck. I have no idea why everyone thinks they're so good.

I don't mind Little Caesars but the one by me is in the same strip mall as an insanely good Korean fried chicken place so that usually wins out.

I have no idea why everyone thinks they're so good.

They dump a bunch in the bag and more=better (even though the "more" is built into the price).

I love Five Guys but it's terribly expensive. The food is good but for the premium you're paying you'd almost be better off getting a gourmet burger of the same ilk.

...Or just getting a smashburger of some kind.

You know what I don't get? Raising Cane's. The toast and Cane's sauce are amazing, but everything else is unseasoned cafeteria food. I don't understand. The only thing RC has over the frozen nuggets and tenders in my freezer right now is freshness. That's it.

an insanely good Korean fried chicken place...

Say no more.

I've never understood the fascination either, it's very much a "It's better than what else is available in the area" option.

Say no more.

But I will because sometimes they will throw in a free mochi donut since they also own the boba tea shop next door.

For dinner tonight, I ate some chicken tenders, French Fries, white rice and some Seggiano fusilli pasta. My mom ate 2 turkey subs with no toppings, some green beans, mashed potatoes and white rice.

Since the Daytona 24h race has turned into a Daytona 6h+ of follow the safety car, thought I'd pop in here for a moment.

This is more of an what I will eat in the future post, but I can quarantee it is 100% correct.

So, I'll skip straigt to the main course of the day that is this:

Bought it just for the intention to taste it.


Next will be the dessert that'll take away the taste of the main course and leave a very chocolatey taste in my mouth:

900ml of chocolate ice cream with chocolate stripes and chocolate bits on top.


Tha last item on the list is the drink that will get me through to the end of the race:

0,5l lime flavored energy drink with extra caffeine.


Is anything of these items healthy? Probably no. Will they taste good? The ice cream will. Will they keep me up until 8.40 PM local time? YES.

Made steak with potato gratin, peppers and zucchini for dinner tonight. It was amazing!

That looks amazing, and I want my next gratin to look more like that!!

Your meal reminds me of my best meal in Spa in 2023 - I treated myself to a steak with a potato gratin side and it was fantastic!

I sometimes cut a few thin or thick slices of creamy cheese, roll them up into a cone and squirt a bit of ketchup in the middle. Greasy and sweet.

Thanks mate! And I agree, gratin is by far my favorite side to go with steak, they complement each other perfectly.
