Coldstone Chocolate Ice Cream

I am picky when it comes to ice cream, and I primarily enjoy only two flavors: vanilla and chocolate.

At Cold Stone, I got chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips mixed in. It tasted delicious, as I enjoyed the taste of the ice cream with the crunch of the chocolate chips.

REVIEW – Sweet Tomatoes: Salad a la Carte

Sweet Tomatoes Salad
My boyfriend's salad, covered in sunflower seeds and raisins

I had a Sweet Tomatoes salad to-go for dinner.

My usual salad consists of:

  • Wonton Chicken Happiness Salad
  • More lettuce
  • Mushrooms
  • Green bell peppers
  • Rotini pasta
  • Peas
  • Jicama
  • Sweet pickles
  • A sprinkle of cheddar cheese
  • Herb chicken
  • Edamame
  • Seasoned croutons

    • Unforunately, there was no edamame or jicama when I went there this time. :(

    I really like Sweet Tomatoes because you can make your own salad any way you want. For example, my boyfriend just got some vegetables covered in herb chicken, sunflower seeds, and a ton of raisins (as shown in the picture).

    The quality of the vegetables/lettuce/toppings at Sweet Tomatoes is pretty good for a salad bar/buffet. Sweet Tomatoes used to not have chicken (and edamame) as free add-ons in the past, so the addition of those makes it even better. (Hopefully they won't get rid of that!)

    The ability to make your own salad the way you want it is what really makes it delicious.

    REVIEW – Panda Express: Chow Mein, Honey Walnut Shrimp, String Bean Chicken, Orange Chicken, Beijing Beef (Leftovers)

    Panda Express Meal

    I had Panda Express leftovers as wake-up food in the morning.

    The Chow Mein noodles tasted fine, but they were a little dry, and there were too many chunky vegetables.

    The Honey Walnut Shrimp was deliciously sweet with a nice honey texture and some crispness. I could definitely do without the walnuts, though.

    The String Bean Chicken was good with a nice savory taste, and the string beans weren't too shriveled.

    I had some of my boyfriend's Orange Chicken, which was very sweet (sweeter than the Honey Walnut Shrimp). It was also a little too filling for me, but it was still good.

    I also tried his Beijing Beef, which was sweet, too tangy, and chewy, and I didn't care for it at all.

    Overall Rating:
    Good
