madmax's thread about looking at stuff and eating other stuf

And I'm back to continue.

I was in the 2nd Taco Bell.  It didn't take me long to place my order, but I had to wait a long time to get my food. There were like 4 or 5 people ahead of me. Also, it seems the people in the drive thru get priority.

After that, I went to Hadee's. I got a Frisco Thickburger. According to the website, it comes in 1/3 and 1/2 sizes, but I don't recall what size I got, or if they had both sizes. I also got 2 orders of onion rings. I had to wait a while because they had to make fresh onion rings, and that there were 3 different people doing both the counter and drive thru.  I wasn't really annoyed at that, but what did piss me off was when the one guy did something unsanitary. After I got my food, I went home and ate that stuff right away to be done with it. I had the other things at my regular time.

As for the Hardee's stuff, The burger was good, and so were the onion rings.

Now for the rest.

The first thing I had was the Taco Bell Mango BBQ Chickstar. I thought since the name had mango in it, I thought it would have a different taste than regular BBQ sauce. I was wrong. While it didn't taste bad, it's just I don't like stuff with BBQ sauce(exscept for McRib).

The next item was the xxxxx from Wendy's. This was good. There was a decent amount of spiciness, which also lingered in/around my mouth after I finished it. I wonder if it would have seemed spicier if I had had it when it was hot.

Next up was the Bacon Ranch Chickstar. This was really good. You could taste the bacon, and it was the main flavor of this item in that I really didn't taste any ranch.

The last item was the Chipotle Chickstar. it was good, but I didn't seem to taste any chipotle sauce or spiciness. It was almost as if this was the plain variety. Maybe they didn't put enough sauce on it.

I would rank these:
1. Bacon Ranch
2. Chipotle
3. Mango BBQ

When I was at the second Taco Bell, I noticed another new food item: Crispy Chicken Grillers. On the menu, there were 3 flavors: Jalapeno Honey, Spicy Ranch, and Chipotle. When I went to the Taco Bell site, I saw there was a fourth: Mango BBQ.

On Friday, I went to a different Taco Bell before I went to the library. I wanted to get the Jalapeno Honey, but they were out of that sauce. I decided to get the Chipotle instead. They worker asked me if I only wanted one, and I said yes.

First off, these are a bit small. If I had known that, I would have also gotten a Spicy Ranch also. The Chipotle one I did get was good. I was able to taste some spiciness to it, unlike the Chickstar.

I got some stuff at a grocery store, and plan on getting more at another since the first had only like 1 thing I wanted.  I'm thinking I'll get fast food stuff a week from Fri.

I'm also thinking of getting stuff at the Asian grocery store tomorrow.  If I do, expect a review Fri.

Last post for today is a booze review.

This time it was CAR A MEL Comfort by Southern Comfort.  This is caramel* flavored whiskey.  There was the caramel taste, but it may have lessened on successive sips.  I don't recall it burning too much.  I think the actual candy tastes better, even though I'm not a fan.

I should be opening another tonight, so there will be a review in the future.


*  I want to get the fuck out of here, so I'll discuss the carmel vs caramel thing another time

Just a booze review today.

This time it is cherry flavored vodka from Three Olives.  There was some alcohol taste/burn.  The cherry flavor was totally present, but it had that mediciney taste.  There was some other interesting item of note.  Last night I put some water in the bottle to rinse it out.  When I drank the water, the cherry taste was a lot better.  Maybe this vodka is for the kind of person that likes to add it to water or something.

The website shows that this company has a ton of flavors, but the store had only one other, which I bought.  I think I will open that one tonight.

Also, I picked up some food today, and will get some more in a little bit.  Expect that review Fri.

I went to the 2 Cash America pawnshops today.

At the first one, I think that BC Rich guitar I mentioned before is a Mockingbird Evil Edge Special Edition.  Let me clue in on something:  it's not that special.  This time there was a Gibson 4-speaker cabinet.  I don't know how big the speakers were or how much it cost since I don't give a shit about it.  It was one of those retro-looking dealies from the 90's and/or 00's.  There was also an Engl Classic Tube 50 for $799.

There was nothing new to report at the other one except that what I thought was a Yamaha PSR76 was a PSR77.

The booze I tried this time was the Loopy flavor by Three Olives.  It is supposed to taste like Froot Loops cereal.  I think it does.  It is mostly citrus taste, which I seem to recall the real thing(actually a budget brand that comes in a bag) having, even for the purple, blue, and red Loops.  There wasn't really any alcohols taste, and there wasn't much of a burn.

I'll open a new one tonight.

I got an early start and visited 2 thrift stores that are on the way to this library, but are out of the way  when I do my trip.

At the first one, there was a baby grand piano that I didn't play on.  In the toy section, there were 2 mini keyboards.  The first was a Casio PT-100.  I forget the price.  The second was a Yamaha PSS-80 that the wanted $6 for.  It had batteries, so I messed with it for a min.  One of the sounds may have sounded like one used on Hearts Are Trump by Trio.

When I was going to this place, I saw a sign on another building that had Music in the name, and another sign saying Instruments.  After the first thrift store, I went here.  For a small place, they had quite a few items, except for amps.  I was in a rush, so I didn't feel like making a note of everything.  The only thing I touched was a Strat to see where it was made.  It was actually a US one, and was $800(probably used).

Then I went into the other thrift store.  The only thing of note was a Peavey Rampage 158 amp.  I didn't see a price tag.

I'm taking my car in tomorrow morning, so hopefully they get it done right away.

First,here is the ingredient list for the shrimp: shrimp, garlic, chili, ginger, fish, sauce, salt, sugar.

Even though the ginger is the third of the extra ingredients, it seems to overpower the other stuff and make it too sweet.

It seems that all the pickled shrimp has some sort of fruit/sweet shit in it. Maybe I'll find a brand that doesn't
 
Now back to the pickled tofu. As you can see the first extra ingredient is water, and the last is sesame oil. This means that the tofu is basically soaking in water and getting soggy. The Laoganma tasted much better because it was actuallym in chili oil, which is just oil and chili flakes/juice.

Next time I go there, I will check the ingredients list on other jars of pickled tofu.

This week has been both busy and fucked up for me.  I will be posting a lot of shit.
