Domino’s Artisan Pizza: Spinach & Feta
I “won” this Domino’s Artisan Pizza 2 weeks ago through Facebook. Finally, I was one of the lucky ones who got the timing correctly. There’s a certain hour when you could enter and get 1 free pizza but it’s all about great timing. It doesn’t last all day and they give it to a certain number of entries.
A Surprise Chinese Take-Out For Lunch
The husband and the son went to Auto Zone today to get something done with the car. The daughter and I did our thing around the neighborhood by going for a walk and taking pictures of the trees and leaves. I wanted pictures of this year’s Fall foliage. I will post those in my other blog sometime tomorrow. As she and I were turning around at the end of the very long road, I saw our car driving towards the house so I told my daughter we had to hurry home coz I knew they’d be looking for us. Lo and Behold, a few minutes later Daddy was at the end of the driveway waiting for us. We had a long way to go so the husband went back to the house, I’m assuming, then went back to the end of the driveway to check on us again, Hehe. I guess we were walking too slow and enjoying the wind far too much. Once we finally reached the house, my husband asked what I was thinking of making for lunch. I didn’t really know and haven’t thought about it at all. I actually haven’t eaten anything at all at that time. The little girl had a bowl of Reese’s Puff cereal for breakfast and I made her grilled cheese sandwich before we went for our walk.
Hardee’s $5 Big Box Lunch
My husband discovered Hardee’s $5 Big Box Lunch yesterday. We like Hardee’s and we’ve eaten from their menu from time to time but I really didn’t know how long they’ve had this Big Box Lunch deal going on. So I Googled. BurgerBusiness.com wrote about it back in January so I guess it’s been around for a while this year.
In case you’ve never heard of Hardee’s $5 Big Box Lunch, here it is. 2 double cheese burgers, sm natural-cut fries, apple turnover, and 20oz soda.
An Ode To KFC’s Double Down Sandwich
Dear Kentucky Fried Chicken Double Down Sandwich,
When my husband and I were in the drive-thru that one fine day back in September 2010, and he told me to try the double down, I asked, “what the heck is a double down?” in utter perplexity. He quickly explained that you are a sandwich consisted of 2 breaded fried chicken boneless breasts, with cheese and bacon. To tell you the truth, it was the bacon that convinced me to try you.
Ricotta-Spinach-Tomatoes Pizza From Sami’s Pizza
My husband had to take care of car stuff back in the town we used to live in so while I was fixing myself in the bathroom to look human, he told me the plan. “This this this car.. this this this, then I’ll stop at Sami’s to get pizza for dinner.” I’m such an attentive wife, no? Sami’s and Pizza were all I understood really. My stomach never fails me. Well, take a look at that pizza above. Who wouldn’t perk up upon hearing Sami’s. [One of?] The pizza place here in North Carolina owned by Authentic Italians from New York City. YUP, they’re BONA FIDE!
He called me after getting things done with the car to ask what I wanted for toppings. I started saying sausage and black olives and green peppers and mushrooms. Pepperoni will be the other pizza for the kids. Then I remembered. Waaiiittttttt. Sami’s. The place who makes garlic white mozzarella pizza with ricotta cheese, spinach and tomatoes. OMG. Of course we’ll get that instead. WTHeck was I thinking sausages, black olives, green peppeers and mushroom for? I mean they’re good toppings but trust me, garlic white mozzarella pizza with ricotta cheese, spinach and tomatoes are sooooooooooooooooo much better.
Sami’s Pizza could kick Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Little Caesar’s, and Papa John’s any day. That’s not the only great toppings they have of course. A lot more with perfect thin and crispy crust, plus other authentic delicious Italian goodies. I’ve had my favorite Tiramisu a few times too. Aaahhh.. like I said, they are bona fide!
2 large pizzas: 1 pepperoni with cheese and 1 garlic white mozzarella pizza with ricotta cheese, spinach and tomatoes = $32.27.

Red Velvet Cake W/ Buttercream Frosting From Wal-Mart Supercenter
I was going through PMS last week so I was craving for something sweet. I asked my husband who called me as soon as he got on the road after work, which he always does, to find some kind of dessert at the store. I was craving sweet so bad but I didn’t feel like making anything in my own kitchen. I have my days too, yah know. I told him to check out the bakery at Wal-Mart Supercenter coz they usually have pretty little cakes that do not cost that much. He came home with this small red velvet cake with buttercream frosting. I thought the roses on top were just too pretty to eat. I loved the red trimming on the bottom too, oh and the small square that said “red velvet” was edible.
The cake was great. It was moist, and the frosting was very light. It’s a good dessert to satiate anyone’s craving or if you’re going to a party and you decide to bring the dessert. While I recommend this cake for convenience and PMS-induced cravings, I have to say I still prefer my own red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. 
LOBSTER BISQUE FROM LEGAL SEA FOODS
Part of my husband’s birthday dinner last week was Lobster Bisque. I did not make it as indicated in the title and by the picture itself. I bought a pre-made one from a wholesale store called BJ’s. The Lobster Bisque is from Legal Sea Foods brand. 2 containers of this size cost $11.99.
Pizza “Bruschetta”
My 3 yr old daughter is currently on a phase where she’s only eating the toppings off of her pizza. She picks the pepperoni or sausages, mushrooms, olives, etc off and then she’s done. Last Friday we had take-out pizza which also provided us lunch the following day since we also has antipasto, wings and garlic bread with the pizza so it was inevitable we’ll have leftovers.
