More food from Miami :)

I'm back with more photos of food to whet your appetites and tingle your tastebuds :) I'll get straight to it... 

So there was one particular week a while back where everything I was eating seemed to be green... Although green, each item was in fact very yummy, just not a colour of food that I am used to! 

First up was this Key Lime Pie flavoured yoghurt from Publix which I had for lunch - very creamy and full of delicious limey flavour :) 

I also HAD to pick these up when I saw them! They're new: Citrus (Lemon and Lime) filled white chocolate Lindt truffles! Very good combination of flavours and highly enjoyable 

Next I purchased some Mint Creme Oreos... to die for! Nothing more needs to be said except that if you can get your hands on some of these bad boys then DO IT! 

Lastly I tried some Lime Fanta as a companion to another sub from Miami Subs.. we definitely don't have this flavour in the UK and I have to say I very much enjoyed it, very refreshing indeed! They should import it for all us poor Brits who are deprived! 

*****

I tried a rather unhealthy (I assume) brand of cereal to make up for the boring (un)Special K I had been munching on for breakfast previously! I tried Hershey's Cookies'n'Creme cereal... 



It reminded me of the Nesquik chocolate cereal we have in the UK but obviously mixed with the cookie and cream flavour too... needless to say my breakfasts were way more fun and I would recommend you buy them if you're ever in the States :)

It's very easy to eat out all the time when you're in America... the food is usually very scrummy and enticing and after a long day of rehearsals the thought of traipsing home in the heat and then having to cook can be dire! However :) I did make a HUGE saucepan full of bolognese for my lunches/dinners etc one week and I have to say that it was rather delicious...  

Spaghetti Bolognese using my mum's recipe! Yum! 

As I said, it's very hard not to eat out in America! Here are a few things I've tried when I've been out and about.... 
Took me a while but one night I did end up in Maccy D's and wanted to compare with the UK! Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the bacon burger I had but it was very satisfactory! 

I accompanied my MacDonald's bacon burger with another drink I've not seen before which is shown above and which was yummy! I love strawberries and strawberry flavoured things so this was a no-brainer for me :)

I also HAD to get myself to a TGI Fridays :) It's one of my favourite places to eat anyway, and their menu has so much more to offer here in the States! I am not ashamed to say that I went all out and ordered quite a large plate of food....

As my face subtly indicates (ha!) I was very excited when my food arrived! 

I forget what the dish was officially called but it had a half rack of bbq glazed ribs, some steak, sweet potato fries and macaroni cheese... AMAZING!

Despite the size of my plate I was more than happy to eat it all as everything was so delicious!

I also tried some Chinese take out from a local restaurant and was really overly excited about receiving the dishes in the little cardboard packages I've seen on Friends countless times :)

I ordered Orange Chicken, rice and some spring rolls! Everything sounded and looked great but I have to say I was a little disappointed with the taste... all a bit bland and dry... never mind!

I decided to change it up one lunch time at the studios and opt for a Thai dish :) I've never had thai food before and opted for Chicken Pad Thai...

I had a very pleasant lunch indeed - am looking forward to trying some more Thai cuisine at some point in the future!

I would like very much to introduce you to two of my favourite people in the whole world... Ben! And Jerry! My life would not be the same without these guys in it and I am very grateful to them for making my life that much better :D I treated myself to some of their delicacies when I came across a beachfront shop last week and tried a new flavour of ice cream I'd not seen before:

'Lazy Sunday' - Vanilla cake batter ice cream with chocolate and yellow cupcake pieces and a chocolate frosting swirl... Can you see why I had to try it! 
Needless to say Ben and Jerry didn't fail me :) 
*****

So that's it for the scrummy food I've been eating since I updated you last :) I just have one last thing to show you that I saw while shopping in Publix... this is especially for all my friends from my hometown :D


Yes! There is a range of salad croutons with the brand name 'Chatham Village!' Just too funny!

Anyways, that'll do I think...

Until next time, meow! x
