la croix key lime

 someone we know had some & offered it to us. la croix is something we'd never buy for ourselves, so we decided to see what the hype was about.

terrible stuff. not as bad as that beverly drink we had at world of coke in atlanta when we were there for dragon-con. but it reminded me of it.

it smelled strongly of something, not sure what. not lime though.

as for the key lime taste. it was as if someone who had a key lime 20 years ago described the taste to a 6 year old who then tried to draw the taste using a key lime scented marker that was nearly dried out.

glad we didn't pay for this.

dad's birthday 2021

 well, blogthings is apparently dead, i can't find anything when i google it now. i guess no one does blog stuff anymore. or blogs like this in general really. (R.I.P)

may or may not do something for this day.

wal-mart garlic bread

 i've had a craving for garlic bread on & off for awhile, but my brother hates garlic so i figured we never have it. but after mentioning it to him he was like: sure, why not? so i decided to get some.

it was from the bakery area & has no name. just the white label wal-mart bakery items have that says freshness guaranteed.

it was quite possibly the worse garlic bread i've never had. worse then the homemade stuff we use to do with softened butter that had garlic powder added & put on toasted hot dog buns.

it smelled like garlic, but did not taste like it. and it left an oily taste and residue on lips, teeth and tongue. my brother suggested a do-over later on. maybe i'll get one of the frozen ones.

the heat of summer

 ....continues on.

not as bad as in some places. but i'm just not good at handling the heat.

some thunder storms too, but that's to be expected.

jersey mike's subs

 one opened here a few months ago & they sent out buy one, get one free coupons. so my brother & i decided to give it a try.

1. they are expensive. $9.45 for a 7 inch sub sandwich. i had looked up prices on-line one one of those menus for a bunch of restaurants sites & they're info is out of date or something. they said the most expensive sandwiches were $7.95. with coupon, & because of the tax, we payed $10.02 for 2 sandwiches.

2. they put too much lettuce on them. i've had salads with less lettuce. the mayo on mine was so-so. or as my brother said; "it's no hellman's."

3. if you have the cold subs "mike's way" you get lettuce (too much) tomatoes, onion, spices and oil & vinegar. they douse the sandwich in oil & vinegar. my brother & i split our sandwiches (he had the italian & had the club supreme), he had the mike's way thing & the bread was wet from it. i told him to to get it, but he did not listen. they also have pickles & banana peppers.

4. it's a small place & they did not have all of the sandwiches listed on their web site. we had looked it it before going & settled on a few we were interested in, but they didn't have like 3/4 of them.

over all better then subway, more on less on the same level as jimmy john's (without the loud music) they say the 7 inch is good for 2 people & i believe it. they have an 14 inch & they could be 2 meals for a person. they also have a 5 inch one. they have chips, cookies as well had pepsi fountain drinks and i don't see how you can get any of that if you get anything bigger then the 5 inch. the sandwiches would be about $1 cheaper if they cut back on the lettuce, oil & vinegar.

if it wasn't for the cost, i'd go again. i would try a hot sub or a cookie maybe even the different brand of root beer they have in the self serve fountain. if someone offered to pay for it, i would not say no. i'd ask for about half the lettuce though.
