Dessert

So yesterday, after showering and doing the dishes, I attempted to make bananas foster. I had bought bananas and ice cream for the occasion specifically, forgetting the vanilla of course. So first, I attempted making the sauce. Since I was only making one serving, I quartered the ingredient list. This did not work somehow. Each time I ended up burning the butter/ sugar mixture. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. I will attempt it again though since I still have bananas and icecream.

What I ended up doing was eating fried bananas with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was good but it wasn't that good. It may have been because I got the cheap ice cream. Oh well.

Today:

So every week my mom and I go out to eat. Today I suggested this Mexican place, Casa Real, on Miller. I'd only been to the one in Oxford and had never eaten there so I thought we could try it out. Immediately, I could tell something was wrong once I sat down at the table. My mom, instead of drinking her margarita, was asking for more water. It was weird. Apparently it wasn't as good as Nuevo Vallarta's margaritas (which was actually true). Another problem was the chips weren't hott. This is a necessity at an authentic Mexican restaurant. They just taste better.

I ended up ordering a chimichanga which was good. It was really big though and I mostly just ate the rice and beans. I ended up having a lot left over. I also didn't leave enough room for dessert for which I was sad. Oh well I guess. I'm sure I could just make flan myself. What is it, like, eggs and sugar and milk or something? It sounds easy enough at least.

All right, well, more food adventures to come...
