Scribbles About Food: Kane Morning Bell Beer (with Rook Coffee)

So if you are a beer drinker or a coffee fan in New Jersey... you probably know about Kane Brewery and Rook Coffee... and they have a beer together called Morning Bell and I tried it a few weeks ago... and its interesting, so I figured I'd do a review on it.

I've only done one other beer review on this blog for Not Your Father's Root Beer... and I'm not really a huge beer drinker... but I feel like I know about it enough to talk about it here... so yeah. Please only try this if you are 21 or over and drink responsibly! I'm 24 btw... people usually think I'm younger...so I'm just clarifying that in case anyone is like "Why am I taking beer advice from a teenage girl?" I'm not a teenage girl... so yeah. Happy Women's Appreciation Month! Lol.

So this is basically beer combined with black coffee... which is weird. But the beer is good and Rook Coffee is not terrible black. As I said I'm not a huge beer drinker... but I also don't really like black coffee... so I didn't really like this and thats kind of why... but it was still pretty good and I did like it. What a weird review... but this is a weird flavor. I didn't love the two flavors together... but at the same time I could kind of appreciate the individual flavors separately so they came together for something really interesting and yummy.

I haven't haven't had Rook Coffee in a long time... its a little strong for me but I still like it a lot. They have a pumpkin spice flavor and a Gingerbread flavor that are good. I also like their New Orleans blend... its got some chocolatey-ness in it. Its good. And I've never had Kane Beer... but this makes me want to try it because it was a good beer. It was strong and very dark... but still really good.

So this was kinda gross, kinda good. It doesn't come with a lot in the bottle but you can't re-seal it... so keep that in mind.

Other than that... this is the most interesting thing you'll probably ever taste... so even if this sounds unappealing to you, you should try it! Especially if you're a coffee or beer fan. My sister doesn't like beer or black coffee either and she liked this too... so its a weird thing that you kind of have to try. I guess its probably hard to try if you aren't in the central jersey area... but its a must if you are!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
