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!

As promised, this is the first of my food segments featuring foods that I hope will make you very hungry while reading :) Credit for the genius Cats-related naming of this little post idea goes to my clever mum Julie, thanks Mutti! Get ready to have those tastebuds tingling...

Bit of background required for this one! My mum, sister and I had gotten into the habit of making and eating a caesar salad for lunch at home so on my first day of rehearsals I visited a local cafe/restaurant and ordered myself one! It came very much American sized and was super scrummy!

On one of my first shopping trips I came across the Oreo section of the supermarket and was overwhelmed by the choices on offer! I will work my way through the varieties they have here and not at home and let you know my opinion! The first variety I decided to try was the Heads or Tails Double Stuff Oreos :)

They taste amazing as usual but also a bit more fun than the standard! Definitely recommended!





Also on this shopping trip I came across the brand which has meant that my Cats character name has been changed from Jemima to Syllabub! The name change was due to racism surrounding the advertising and branding for Aunt Jemima baking products...

As I mentioned, last Thursday it was a cast members birthday and he ordered in some amazingly beautiful and delectable treats from Cold Stone Creamery... We don't have these delicacies available in the UK so I was very excited to try these....

Ice cream cupcakes - wonderfully decorated and yummy! 

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches with sprinkles!

And the centrepiece - Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake - cannot tell you how glorious this was... layers of red velvet cake with creamy vanilla ice cream, icing with sprinkles and added chunks of Kit Kat for good measure! Can't go wrong really! 

For dessert after our cast meal out at the Aventura Mall, a few friends and I decided to treat ourselves to a slice of cheesecake from the infamous Cheesecake Factory! I opted for the Oreo Dream Cheesecake (or something like that!) One slice was $8.75 which may seem a little steep but the slices are generous and the taste more than makes up for it :) I took quite a few pictures of this little delight!

My heavenly slice of Oreo Dream Cheescake

Yes the whipped cream has more Oreo chunks sprinkled over the top! 

Tucking in - soooooo good! 

So that concludes my first week of yummy American food :) am very excited to continue trying new things and letting you know all about them! Hope I didn't make you too jealous ;) 

Meow!
