Scribbles About Food: Olive Garden Chicken Parm Sandwich Review

So... I thought I'd review an Olive Garden Sandwich because I was curious about it since it was released. I don't have pictures of anything... I wish I did... I debated posting this because there were no pictures... but I don't think I'm going to order this again... so yeah.

Salad and Breadsticks 
First let's talk about the Salad and the breadsticks. You can get a soup or salad with every order and you always get breadsticks. I love the breadsticks! They're nice and warm and not overly garlic-y but not too garlic-y. I just like them. And I like the salad too... its not the freshest salad... it tastes good though. I like it. I get it without olives because I don't like olives.

Chicken Parm Breadstick Sandwich and Fries 
So this sandwich wasn't bad... but I don't think I'm a big fan of Olive Garden's tomato sauce... there's nothing really awful about it... but its a little much. It didn't have a bad taste or anything... it's just kind of tomato-y. I'm not sure how some tomato sauce can be more or less tomato-y than others... but this was especially tomato-y and it just wasn't my favorite.

I liked the bread. It wasn't just like the breadsticks that they always serve... it was a sandwich bread that was kind of the same consistency as the breadsticks... and that was pretty good. I liked the texture and it wasn't bad with the sandwich.

The cheese on the sandwich was pretty good... not a whole lot, most chicken parm sandwiches kind of don't have the most cheese... it is what it is. The cheese gets lost in the bread a little bit... but this wasn't too bad... it was just overwhelmingly tomato-y.

The main reason I ordered this sandwich was because of the fries... I really wanted fries that day... and I LOVED their fries! They were nice and crispy and thin... and really really yummy. Salty, but not too salty. The ketchup was where the over- tomato-yness started for real though... cause that ketchup tasted extra tomato-y... Idk if it was regular Heinz... didn't taste like it... really not sure about it.

So yeah... that's kind of everything. Not my favorite... not something I'd order again... let me check Olive Garden's Menu to see what other sandwiches they might have... they have another Spicy Calibran sandwich... not sure what that is... but it might not have tomato sauce... so yeah? That might be good... I just want to get those fries again. Lol.

BTW- This was a lunch combo where you can get soup or salad and then a lunch option. I thought you used to always get salad with it... but yeah. I guess not?

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...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
