Dine well... — Fearlesslee

Hi guys! It's been well over a month since my last post. I have to admit, I've gotten quite comfortable being home and settling back into my old routine. It feels really good seeing familiar faces, spending time with friends, attending dance parties and practices with people I know, and most importantly not living out of a suitcase! Like many people, one of my favorite things in life is food. My life revolves around it. Lately, I've been seeing hilarious memes and posts about people spending the majority of their paycheck on food. While I don't at all recommend you frivolously spending your funds, if you're going to spend money on food, make it worth your while! You'll thank yourself later.

That being said, I have a new favorite sandwich shop, called Trencher's Delicatessen. While at the dentist office getting a dreadful root canal, the dentist went on and on about this neighborhood deli. I had to try it! I decided to order the "Chicken Swizzle". It's has fried chicken, spicy coleslaw, and spicy mayo served on a soft white bun. I ordered mine with grilled chicken instead of fried. It also comes with homemade sweet potato chips. The sandwich was so big that I saved the other half for dinner; which made the $10 sandwich more than worth it. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.

The Saturn Room is one of my favorite bars here. It's a tiki bar that serves a mix of classics as well as a variety of interesting signature cocktails. Their most popular drink, my personal favorite, is the Macadamia Nut Chi Chi. It has vodka, macadamia nut liquor, pineapple, and coconut cream. It's incredible! This most recent time I decided to try something different. I chose the Angostura Colada. It has angostura bitters (still not sure what that is), Jamaican rum, coconut cream, lime, and pineapple. It was bitter, but also really good. I think the chi chi will always be my favorite though.
