Rum Tum Tucker #3

Wow... so it's been rather a long while since I last posted to my blog! I've had a very busy couple of weeks with rehearsals, an amazing week with my boyfriend, a trip to New York and more rehearsals! I have been taking lots of pictures to remind me what to write about though so I will attempt to catch up with myself today :) here goes! 

I'll start with my food blog from a few weeks back! 

Our Old Deuteronomy, Trent, had his birthday this week - this was his amazing birthday cake :) 

It was layered cake; vanilla and chocolate! Very light and fluffy, the icing was great too! 

While in Publix I came across a few varieties of lemonade and opted to try the Mango Lemonade variety! Very thirst-quenching and fresh! 

I also tried some french toast... I wasn't the biggest fan of this! It was a bit soggy and didn't really taste of much! Never mind :)
I also picked up my first lot of vegetables since I've been here! I felt like I was back at home with this meal :) chicken kiev, rice and veg! It was sooooo good though :) home comforts! 

When I was younger I always used to drink the powdered Nesquik milkshake but saw that they had it in syrup form here so decided to give it a try! It has the taste I remember but you don't have the powder stuck to the bottom of your glass - genius!

On Saturday we came into the break room to find a scrummy surprise from the office staff at Royal Caribbean :) lots of boxes of Dunkin' Donuts!

Here's Enric with one of the boxes! Such a nice treat :)  

This is donut I shared - had vanilla cream inside and powdered sugar on top! 

Me enjoying my donut :)

On Sunday I went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with Enric and Kelsie... 



I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea...

...and a Macaroni and Cheese Burger with Sweet Potato Fries :) delicious!

And I couldn't eat at the Cheesecake Factory without ordering cheesecake! This week I opted for the Red Velvet Cheesecake! Cannot even tell you how good this was :) 

So that's it for my food craziness this week! 

Until next time, meow!

Rum Tum Tucker #2

So it seems I took more photos of food this week than I did for my actual weekly summary :) that sums me up completely! Will jump straight into it...

This week, my roommate Kelsie and I tested a few of the food places near the studios for our lunches. First up was Pita Pockets:

We both ordered the Chicken Caesar Pitta which was delicious and very filling :) we enjoyed our lunch here so much that we visited again later in the week! 


We also copied each other on our choice of beverage! We don't have Snapple in the UK as far as I'm aware but there are many flavours available in the States. We tried Kiwi Strawberry flavour which was yummy and very thirst quenching :) 

*****

The next local place we tried was Miami Subs Grill. We had a particularly long lunch break this day and thought we'd opt for a slightly larger helping of food to give us some energy for our full run through of Come Fly With Me... 


I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak Sub with Spicy Fries... YUM! Sooo good! I did have an issue saying the name of the sub... variants included Chilly Peesesteak, Philly Cheesecake etc haha! 


You can fill up your drinks cup with any beverage in Miami Subs Grill. They had an awesomely amazing machine (shown above) with so many different choices. Once you had selected one of the brands you could then pick which flavour of that particular product too! I opted for something I hadn't tried before; Mello Yello Peach flavour... again, very nice!

Despite eating out for lunch a few times this week, I continued to make my own dinners in the evening! I've pretty much been surviving on different types of pasta this week. One intriguingly named sauce I found to accompany this was this one.. 

Yes you read that right... Vodka Sauce... To me it just tastes like a Tomato and Mascarpone type sauce.. I checked, and there is vodka listed in the ingredients list however! Thought this was amusing! Alcoholic pasta sauce! 

*****

I went for shopping trips to Target and Publix this week and picked up a few new things to try, also took pictures of things to make you all jealous that I am yet to purchase and test out :) 

Me with an armful of goodies! Bought some Bacon Mac and Cheese flavoured crisps - very scrummy actually!

Also saw Cappuccino flavoured crisps... Had to do a double take when I walked past these bad boys... Needless to say I didn't buy these as I hate coffee and couldn't imagine coffee and potato as being a very good combination! 
The little blue bag you can see in the shopping haul picture above was S'mores flavoured Goldfish Grahams which look like this when you open the packet :) very impressed with these little fish! Moreish is an understatement! 

These are something I have wanted to try since watching Mercedes on Glee have a hissy fit because they were removed from their high school lunch menu... wow... stagey much?! Anyway! Just had to try these :) 

Cooked Tater Tots with a yummy Cheeseburger as a Saturday night treat :) 

Also tried Cheetos Puffs which were abnormally huge to say the least and took me by surprise when I opened the packet! Had a bit of a giggle with these while video calling my boyfriend MJ (mangooftheland.blogspot.co.uk) one evening this week...

My family are addicted to Oreos. Fact. I already posted an image of the first variety I tried last week but I am still working my way through those so nothing new to report on this week. However! I took some photos of all the awesome Oreo based desserts available from Publix :) take a look! 



 Cannot wait to get my hands of some of these :)

That's all food wise for this week! Looking forward to discovering more next week!
