free candy and witches

our first stop was to Bob's discount furniture to pretend to look for a new couch. in this furniture store they give out complimentary candy of all kinds including: bob's individualy wrapped gummy bears, sour patch kids, carmels and many other great assorted novelties. along with free candy is FREE ice cream, popcorn and
cookies to help you shop for discount furniture. you can also play complimentary video games or watch a great family film all in the comfort of yes folks a furniture store. other stores offer free air hockey and mini golf, we always go for the free candy and cookies, they are freshly baked, moist and crumbly. fresh popcorn is popped every day and served in old fashion buckets in an old fashion lamp heated display. free ice cream and frozen yogurt go great as well as the notice on candies that contain nuts!



for dinner we went to Salem Beer Works, a great institution.

seasonal blueberry beer is brewed right on the premise with fresh blueberries to float your beer belly away, great with any of the many delicious dishes they serve, and if you get one of their delightful dinners it is served atop of mashed potatoes a fresh potatoe chip the size of a 11 X9 1/2 sheet of computer paper and thin as one too.

in the large seating area which is dark and brick filled to allow for the circulation of conversations of locals saying "go red sox in december and go bruins" is a giant 30 X40 green neon witch to symbolize Salem the witch city where hundreds of years ago crazy bored children accused innocent town folk of witch craft and will be forever known as the witch city. one of their burgers, the witch city red is served with caralized onions and swiss cheese atop about a 1inch think patty of sirloin and ground beef.

we ordered the usual and yummy finger foood. a large order of buffalo wings, half wings half boneless. i prefer the boneless because you get more meat and don't have to get your finger nails gross and your lips don't burn as much because you can cut them and insert them directly in your mouth versus getting the buffalo sauce all over your lips and fingers and having the burning sensation for hours. but the pro to bone in wings is more flavor but they are extremely accomidating to allow for a half order of both. to accomany the wings and fingers was a side order of sweet potatoe french fries. i have never seen such a wide variety of french fries on any menu they include: fire fries which are hott and delicious and served with a cool dill ranch sauce and sour cream and onion fries YUM! the sweet potatoes are served with a rasberry malt vinger which really compliment the flavors of the sweet crunchy fries and balance the hott spices from the wings. the wings come with some tasty chunky blue cheese and celery sticks a classic combo.

breakfast edition

my personal chef and mother made me some breakfast today. i am not a big breakfast person usually because i don't rise early enough for the occasion or my not big interest in eggs. i once heard a quote on a reality show that eggs are chicken abortions so it kinda makes me queesy to think about eating abortionized baby chicken. well it doesn't stop me that much, i have eaten eggs 3 times since i have been home. i only trust eggs to eat out at one place in the entire universe called Maria's the other is when my mother makes me a scrambled egg with white cheese and white cheese only. so she made me a nice country breakfast this morning they way she does it best a scrambled egg with white cheese. one of the secrets to her successful eggs and adding milk while scrambling them, they come out fluffy and delicious. i also will not eat eggs with any brown on them or burnt of any kind, i know PICKY!!!! but its just how i am. so to accompany the egges was some ham and whole weat oat toast from the portugiese bakery down the st.
i love putting maple syrup on my ham its a great compliment to the salty taste, its salty sweet and chewy and delicious.
for lunch i walked to Bill and Bobs and decided to supersize and go for the super beef instead of the Jr. today. you might say i am spulrging but i asked what the difference is between jr and regular and she said the jr was 3oz and the super was 4oz so i went for 4oz of tender, moist, rare thinly sliced roast beef and side of fries and some agent orange, oragne soda.

whos that guy?

I let Bean (my mother) look through some photos on my computer of when we went out with my grandmother and Haroald for her 91st birthday. she went a little to far and looked through my old photos that were on my computer from the end of fall term. "Cori, who is this guy in the video store?" i had no idea, i knew who she asked was at Sizzler and a napkin with "taco meat" written on it but i didn't remember taking any pictures in a video store. i looked at the photo and said, "mom thats not just some guy, its Ron Jeremy and thats not a video store" who is he she asked? " he is a famous Jewish pornstar and thats a porn store" my dad in the background says, "your daughter is into porn stars now Brenda" i said..."but he is Jewish!"

day in food 3

bill and bobs has presumably the worlds best roast beef sandwich and as i enjoyed my lunch today it occured to me that yes in fact it is the worlds best roast beef. thinly sliced and red and rare is how it is served hott right off the slicer. i get mine with sauce, or ketchup in lame-men terms and its a suculent treasure served with fresh freedom fries as they still call the, crispy and well done in a french fry cup with french fries on the outside. a streyphoam cup of orange soda goes great to wash down the greesy goodness.




the carpet welcomes you and yes it is the worlds best, from the outside of the building you might think this janky joint is not the best with its rotting siding and island tropic picture decore inside but with its fresh roast beef and crispy fries they can not be beet.

fantasy


Fantasy Island is the home of drunk karaoke singing Massholes and some of the greatest tastiest cantonese chinese style food I have found yet on this planet.

As my father and I were seated in the exact same booth as we sat in only months ago when I was home last, it occured to me they do not card here, and with a smile, you can recieve extra bread at no cost. by the way, what chinese resturant can you name who gives you bread with your meal? none I thought so...


I started off by ordering a sprite, which came to me in the form of ginger ale. the waiter then informed me that they only have ginger ale not sprite, i asked for sprite i said, he asked me what kind of rice, steamed? no no sir, SPRITE. which then i realized Spirte, can be confused as Sprice, there for steamed rice. sprite, rice, steamed rice. i then asked for a Dr.pepper. he said oh yes we have that....no no its in a can. he came back empty handed no dr.pepper here. ok i will have a coke. "coke in a can?" no no sir coke in a glass with ice. "sorry we only have pepsi" ok....pepsi is fine.

we ordered: garlic pan fried noodles which are delightfully delicious with green onions and garlic sautéed in a walk. then pork strips which are tender pork cutlets with orange ho san sauce which are delicious when dipped into duck sauce and hot mustard. you may ask yourself what is duck sauce? well its the sauce they cook chinese duck in. its a sweet brown sauce which goes great with just about every appetizer. lastly, is fantasy steak. small tender steak bites aged and marinated for seems like days in a secret sauce which i have uncovered as a mix of teriakey(spelling) and something else delicious.


for the final course it included tri-colored and flavored fortune cookies which left us with some very insightful thoughts and fresh canned pineapple. "you have a life of happiness ahead of you" + "the egg will walk someday but not before it cracks"
