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 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

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
