Scribbles About Food: Bahrs Oktoberfest Menu

Since I'm doing more restaurant reviews, I thought I'd do one a little more local for me. Bahrs landing is a historic seafood restaurant in NJ. Close to the Atlantic Highlands ferries, so if you are coming into Jersey from NY or about to leave NJ for NY... this isn't too far away! And it has a lot of good food in general... and I'll probably review some of the other things... but my favorite is the Oktoberfest Menu. As much as I like seafood, and as fresh as their seafood is... sometimes in the winter I don't want seafood and this menu is really good for winter.

And I think you can get seafood from this menu... but that isn't what I'll be talking about today!

Appetizers 
They have giant pretzels! I like theirs... I didn't eat a lot when we ordered this last time because I had a pretzel with a different app that I had... but it was really good. I think it came with some sort of cheese... not totally sure. It was big and fun to share... so that's a good one.

The one I had that I was super impressed with was the German Onion Soup... which was topped with a pretzel and Gouda Cheese... and it was amazing! I'm a big fan of Onion Soup anyway... my mom makes good onion soup... this was sooo good! The pretzel with the gouda tasted really good and then the onions and the broth were really good too. I just thought this was a really delicious soup.

Entree 

I love the pirogies. If you've never had pirogies before, they are dumplings filled with potatoes and they taste amazing. These come with an onion gravy (or cream sauce as it says on the menu.) And it comes with kielbasa that is very very good. And all the flavors together are just really really good. It is definitely a favorite of mine and something I will probably get on other menus if I see it.

And if you don't want a full meal of pirogies they are also offered as an appetizer. Idk if it comes with the same sauce, and I'm sure there is no kielbasa... but it is a good entree that I would highly recommend.

I know this is an Oktoberfest Menu review, and I'm posting this in November... but they keep the menu around most of the year anyway. I was ordering the pirogies in the summer. They'll probably have everything till at least February.

Byee!

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...
