Longhorn Steakhouse Review

I tried something new last night and I'm really excited to share it with everyone!

My Boyfriend and I had a giftcard to the Olive Garden Restaurant family... and we had already used most of it on Bahama Breeze- which was a really good, fun restaurant- and this time we decided to try Longhorn because I had never been there and we kinda wanted to try something new.

First off they bring you bread... which I always like in a restaurant. I feel like the bread was nothing really to write home about- but it was good and presented nicely on a little cutting board.

The appetizer however was great! We got the Cowboy Queso- which was basically a cheeseburger dip served with a really yummy garlic flatbread. We were kind of amazed at the fact that the dip really did taste just like a cheeseburger. I feel like I want that recipe! The flatbread was the best part. It was super soft and yet still kind of crispy and flavorful. The dip didn't really stay that warm... but the flatbread did- so that was really good on it's own.



The steaks were really great too! My boyfriend got the ribeye and he got it done Medium. He thought it was really juicy and pretty good. I got the flat iron steak because it was marinated- and I thought it might be a little more flavorful. It did have a really great flavor to it! it was small- but still filling and I just really liked it! I was pretty impressed as I am a little picky with my steak.

this was mine! 

The sides we got were both kinda meh. The Mac and Cheese was okay... but it had parmesan cheese and that's not really something I like and my boyfriend could only taste the parmesan when I said I thought it had parmesan in it. So... it was a little overpowering. The fries were fine but nothing special.

We also got blackberry tea... it was fine- I was happy to see it on the menu- but it's not as great as if you ordered Chili's with extra blackberry syrup.


We didn't get any dessert- but the dessert did look delicious.  We had some Ice Cream at home that was homemade from my cousin... the ice cream maker from OWOWCOW creamery so we opted  for that... which I'm sure was better anyway... but I'd love to try dessert here sometime!

And the waiter... was weird. It was the end of the night- we were seated at a high top by the bar- so we didn't really have a wait and the food all came out pretty quickly and I don't think it was bad or anything... and we really didn't feel rushed out either.




Overall... it was a really nice date night! It was nice to try something new! We'd go back again!

Bye!

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...
