I visited my mom for a week. This is a summary of what I ate during the week (with pictures!)

Monday:

My mom made some Korean mandu / fried dumplings for brunch:

We had some ice cream from Graeter's (Mason, OH) as an afternoon snack.
My chosen flavor was chocolate:


My mom made some delicious chicken akni (Indian rice dish) for dinner:


Tuesday:

We ate at Soho Japanese Bistro for lunch. I had a bento box of chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura:

My mom made some Korean kalbi with tofu and beansprouts for dinner. For some reason, my mom said she thought I liked kalbi that wasn't sweet, which isn't true; I like a very sweet kalbi. So, unfortunately, it just tasted salty:

I ate a Melona bar at home for dessert... and I ate at least one every day for the week:


Wednesday:

My mom made some yummy egg drop rice cake soup for lunch:

We had some octopus with dinner:


Thursday:

We went out to eat at Asiana Korean Restaurant (West Chester, OH) for lunch. Unfortunately, their kalbi was more salty than sweet, too :( :

For dinner, my mom brought home some chicken shawarmas from Chateau Beirut (West Chester, OH):


Friday:

My mom and I went out to eat at Dao Modern Asian Cuisine (Mason, OH). My main meal was an udon noodle soup:

I also made some red velvet cupcakes from Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix and with ChocoMaker marbled chocolate curls on top:


Monday:

My last full day with my mom made some kimchi and pork with leftovers she had, and she also brought home some chicken bulgogi from Asiana Korean Restaurant:


Tuesday:

I was sooo stuffed during the most of the week with my mom. Each time I got full, my mom would tell me I wasn't eating enough and that I should eat more... which resulted in lots of overeating. So, after a week with my mom, I was definitely ready to come back home. :)

Freal Vanilla Milkshake from QT

I tried a F'real Vanilla Milkshake from a QuikTrip convenience store and mixed it on the 'regular' thickness setting.

The vanilla taste of the milkshake was pretty good, and it wasn't overly sweet or overly vanilla-y. The milkshake seemed to be melting quickly, so I might try it on a thicker setting next time I have it. Overall, it basically tasted kind of like a soft serve ice cream that had been blended into a milkshake.

I wasn't able to finish my milkshake so I put it in the freezer. When I ate it later, I ate it as ice cream, and it still tasted pretty good.

Overall Rating:
Good

Cinemark Buttered Popcorn

The Cinemark Theatres popcorn tasted pretty good as movie popcorn. It was also one of the few types of popcorn I've had that doesn't give me heartburn. Unfortunately, after eating some of it, I ended up with a headache, instead. :(

Update: I've had this popcorn several more times at the movie theater, and it hasn't given me a headache those times... maybe I didn't have enough to drink or something when I wrote the original review.
