Scribbles About Food: Shannon Eats Steak! Moonstruck!

So... this might seem like a big deal... but I haven't eaten steak in a really long time. My parents LOVE steak and they gave it to me so often as a kid I just got tired of it... and I've only had it a few times in the past... 15 years maybe? I've had Chicken fried steak- which is really good. My dad got a hibachi recently and made hibachi steak that I liked. My friend's fiance made some steak kabobs recently also... and I liked that... so I just kind of wanted to venture into eating steak again because I'm getting a little tired of chicken.

And there's a really good restaurant in Asbury called Moonstruck... and I thought that would be a good time to try some. My parents really love their steak- I love their food and I've realized this is a good place to try new things... so I got it... and I'll review the appetizer and dessert I had also!

Appetizer 

We always pretty much order the same appetizers... this time we only ordered the one appetizer which is the Arugula, Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella salad... this is so good. The tomatoes are always so fresh and juicy. The Olive oil dressing is really nice... and the Mozzerella is delicious. All of these flavors together just taste great any time of year... but it is particularly refreshing in the summertime. It's just so great. Highly recommend!

Entree 

The Filet Mignon. I'm not an expert on steak obviously... but this just tasted really flavorful and delicious. It was served with butter on top over mashed potatoes... all of the steak dishes come with Mashed Potatoes except for the Cowboy Steak- which is served with Fries and some Onion Rings. It also comes with Vegetables... which come with most of the entrees as well... and let's face it... I never really eat them. Lol.

The potatoes tasted really good too... I don't know if they had any sort of Garlic or seasoning in them... it didn't look like they did... but it sort of tasted like they did... so it might have just been a really good potato...

I really liked it all. My big problem with steak in recent years when I've tasted a piece was that there was no real flavor to it... and there's certainly a lot of flavor to this one. It was really great. I ordered it Medium Well- and it was just right. They've got it down to a science pretty much there. It's great!

This is how they plate it... deliciously. lol. 

Dessert 

I had the Black and White Creme Brulee... which is really delicious. It has a little bit of chocolate custard on the bottom. This Creme Brulee has kind of ruined all other creme brulee's for me. The chocolate just brings so much flavor out... the crust on top is soooo nice and yummy... it's just absolutely perfect! 

Drinks 
Of corse I can't forget to mention the drinks! I always get the Bikini Tini... this is just strong enough without being too strong. It kind of tastes like a pina coloada but in Martini form... it's really great! They have another martini that's the same but with a banana... I think it's the Speedo Martini... which is funny... lol. Anyway... awesome drink! 

The service is always very nice and well informed also. It gets busy... but if you get there early it's pretty great! 

Anyway that's pretty much it! Hope you guys like this review! 

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
