Dining in NJ: A few delicious food reviews

So I thought I would just compile a few different meals I've tried lately that I haven't reviewed before...and talk about them here. Usually I do fuller reviews on these items... but I've reviewed some of these restaurants before and some of these meals... so I think I'm just going to talk about what I've tried recently and... yeah.

Mr. Shrimp Mango Coconut Salmon 

I think this is what I had... I kind of forget! So I'm sorry about that... it was on the specials Menu which changes quite often... but I really really liked this. I'm not a huge fan of Mango... but this was like a mango salsa and it was just super super yummy. If you ever go to Mr. Shrimp and see the Parmesan Risotto on the menu... get that. Lol. Its really yummy and I am not a fan of Parmesan Cheese.. so yeah.

I like how I don't remember what exactly it was called... but I can remember just how it tastes and that is always the way with Mr. Shrimp... the tastes are really good and very memorable. Highly recommend!

Asbury Ale House: Drunken Pasta Bites and Chocolate Lava Cake + Coconut Mule And Cinnamon Toast Shot 
I went to the Ale House last night for my birthday and I got the Chicken and Waffles... which I have reviewed before on here... and it was just as delicious this time around... but the rest of the meal was awesome too.

The Drunken  Pasta Bites are awesome. It's fried Penne Vodka that they give to you alongside of extra Vodka Sauce to dip in. They have the Pasta Bites, they have chicken bites I think... they have a drunken chicken sandwich and drunken fries... but it's delicious and I loved it.

The drinks I had... I had a Cinnamon Toast Shot... it was delicious. Not too strong but not bad. It was just nice and yummy.

I didn't order the Coconut Mule- I ordered the Coconut Mojito... I'm on a Mojito kick and a coconut kick... so I wanted that... but the Mule was really good too... again not too strong- not too sweet... very coconutty and yummy.

And the Chocolate Lava Cake which my friends surprised me with... lol. My one friend said she had to go to the bathroom, not realizing the bathroom was behind us so she said "there's no toilet paper in there" and she went to the front- where I thought she was telling them about the TP and I just thought the people entering and exiting the bathroom were gross... but they weren't they just surprised me with the Lava Cake... and it was damn delicious! nice and moist... it was huge but I ate most of the whole thing... and the ice cream was good and the cake itself was sooo chocolatey and warm and wonderful.

Moonstruck in Asbury- Rigatoni with Pumpkin and Goat Cheese, Banana Bread Pudding Appetizers that I always get... 

So Moonstruck is a place I've reviewed before... I think I forgot to review the Appetizers last time... and I like the fall menu so... yeah.

Arugula and Tomato Salad- This is a really great salad. It has Fresh Mozzerella, Tomato and arugula and a  nice light dressing... with some toasted bread... it's just really great and fresh and yummy.

Portugese Clams 
These are the best! I love them... they have sausage and some garlic sauce and salsa... it's very flavorful and I just really like them! Not fishy, not too garlicy... just right!

Rigatoni with Pumpkin and Goat Cheese 
This is really yummy. I've had this before- I was so happy to see it on their seasonal menu again... that doesn't always happen with the seasonal options... but this was on it and I was really happy!

I didn't really know if I would like this when I tried it last year... but I trust Moonstruck to have flavor combinations that I'd like and I want to try anything with the word "pumpkin" in it... so I was excited for that! The pumpkin is like a real pumpkin- it's savory and vegetable like... I think there are also pumpkin seeds and some sort of nuts in it... it's really really a great flavor combination and then with the goat cheese it adds a little creaminess and some good flavor.

I just really like this a lot! It's a great flavor for the season and it's just something different and interesting. Last year's was a little better... they didn't have as many crunchies this year... but it was still really good!

Banana Bread Pudding 

This was really good too... it was nice and warm. I don't love bananas themselves... but I do like Bananas in dessert... and this bread pudding was just really good. It was warm and the texture was just right and it tasted really flavorful and just good.

And their Ice Cream is amazing! So... it's just really great all together!


Bahrs Oktoberfest Menu Beef Goulash 

I didn't know what Goulash was... so I wasn't sure what to expect... it was a little weird but good. It's like a stewed beef served with noodles... and I really liked the noodles. The beef had a smokey flavor to it, which was really yummy and good... I thought it was good... idk if I'd get it again because it's huge and it takes a while to eat... and I don't always like that... but it was pretty good... I just don't know that I'd order it again. It was interesting... I would recommend trying it.

And that's about it! I hope you guys like this little roundup food review!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
