"Banana Bread Time!"

 

It kind of looks like there's ham in it, or some kind of luncheon meat. I promise that there isn't. I've been wanting to make it since Sunday. Tammy (Children's Director) told me to take all the extra bananas home so they wouldn't go to waste. I didn't what to do with them, but she suggested banana bread! It's sooo good.

Yeah I know, more food pictures.

"Mmm... Muffins"

Today is a breakfast for lunch kind of Saturday. I made Cinnamon Streusel muffins! They're delicious! Well, they're made from a box, so you can go get the same box and make them for yourself. You should do this because they're delicious!

I think I'm going to go have a bowl of cereal and another muffin. Have a good Saturday!

Disgusting Goodness

Looks can be deceiving. You know why? Because while this looks disgusting, it was actually very tasty! Tonight I made Quesadillas for dinner. They were yummyful. Really, they were. 

Not really sure what else to say, so I'll let you go.

Until next time!

A monster of a burger

Angelica and I have been trying to have lunch for the last week and a half. Today we were finally able to do so! It was exciting.

We decided to hit up Eureka!Burger on Palm after hearing about the place just a couple days ago.

Here's the beautiful, beautiful burger.
Better known as "The Cowboy." A great combination of meat, bacon, onion straws and BBQ sauce.

Here's its good side though:

We got it and were instantly like "How do we eat this thing?" We just dived right in. Angelica cut it in half while I wrapped my hands around this monster and took a bite.

It was definitely one of the better burgers I have had. You could taste the grill on it, if that makes any sense. And the bacon wasn't that thin kind of stuff, it was real bacon. Good thick bacon.

While the waitresses memory was something to be desired, I still enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Our waitress came for our drink order, went to get our Mr. Pibb and Diet, came back not more than a minute later and had already forgotten who had what. While this isn't that big of a deal, we had a good laugh about it. Pretty sure she forgot about us again when we sat there for a good while with only ice in our cups. The next time she came back with our refills, to my surprise, she remembered that I had the Pibb.

Anyway, eat there now, thank me later!

The art of making new friends and other stuff too

Oh for three (0/3)

Last night, I went with a few ladies to dinner. I was told we were going to go to Samurai Sam's for dinner. So I drive over there, running a bit late, and receive a text message from Naomi saying they're closed. We try another teriyaki place. Turns out they were closed down. So we decide to try yet another teriyaki place on Willow/Herndon and they were closed too.

Not a good night for teriyaki joints.

We decide to go to Sequoia Sandwich Company because it was right there. I was excited because I've heard nothing but great things about them. I got the French Dip, which was awesome. That's my default sandwich.

Afterward, we went back to Naomi's house to hang out. The guys from the college group had also gone out to dinner, so they met us there too.

We just talked and then we played a game. It was a lot of fun. There were probably 10 people there. They are an amazingly fun group of people.

It reminded me of when I first moved to Fresno two years ago. I didn't really know anyone. Sam was here, and I knew both my roommates because they were both from Porterville. Sam and I wanted to find a church right away to get connected with some people. We knew a family who were attending Clovis Evangelical Free Church so that's where we started to go and that's where we've stayed. There we have made some great friends.

At school, I didn't even make friends until a year ago.

It's like, how did I make friends when I was a kid? It's so incredibly hard, especially when you move to a completely different place. I was always in the same town with the same people. Most of the time, I at least knew a few people, but how do you make friends when you don't have any connections to anyone? It's not something I ever thought about until I moved.

When does a friendship go from hanging out where you met (school, church, etc) to actually hanging out other places? I've often wondered this in the last couple of years with all the friends I've made.

It's just a weird thought. Glad I've gained a ton of new friends here in Fresno because now this town is actually starting to feel like home.
