Jen When searching for a good breakfast restaurant I am pretty picky. I look for the trifecta of breakfast deliciousness. I need three things to satisfy my breakfast cravings. 1. Good food, of course. 2. International Delight Vanilla individual creamers 3. Orange Marmalade. I have yet to find a restaurant that satisfies all three requirements. Here … Read more
Typically, I won’t post any reviews from what Omar deems a “pedestrian” restaurant. Rarely do we ever frequent any “chain” type restaurants as Omar thinks (and I agree) that the food is just mediocre. The food is what it is really and I find if you get the right thing from each restaurant it is … Read more

Last night, to celebrate my Dad’s return back home after a lengthy stay in a rehabilitation unit (long story) we decided to take him to Green Lantern, as it is his favorite pizza joint (as it is most of ours). I don’t really feel a blog is necessary, as everyone I know already knows and … Read more
Penn Station Subs – where have you been all my life? I failed to pack a lunch today so ventured out to one of the local fast food establishments for lunch. Typically, I would not feel compelled to blog about a fast food experience, c’mon, we all know they are just mediocre. Or just bad. … Read more
Omar and I spent a much deserved day together on Saturday. We decided to return to Brownies on the Lake. Our last visit there, we just enjoyed a few cocktails and listened to the band on the Tiki Bar. This time, we decided to try the food too, since everything coming out of the kitchen … Read more
My sister has been in town visiting, and she, my brother and I stepped out for a (what we thought) would be a quick dinner. We went to a seafood restaurant near Somerset Mall, let’s call it SchMormicks and Micks. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday night. We arrived at I think about … Read more
