Pepperoni Pizza from Costco Food Court

The pepperoni pizza from the Costco food court is pretty good. It is a little oily on top of the pizza, but both the pizza crust and pepperoni slices are nice and crispy. The pizza sauce is more salty than sweet (which I like), and the pizza doesn't have an overwhelming amount of sauce or cheese. The slice you get is also pretty big... it often has a hard time fitting on the plate!

REVIEW – Panda Express: Firecracker Chicken Breast

Firecracker Chicken Breast from Panda Express

Since we discovered that the firecracker chicken breast was free at Panda Express for Chinese New Year on Jan. 31, we decided to get some that day. The chicken was in a black bean sauce which was just a little spicy from the chilies, but unfortunately, it tasted a little bland. It just tasted like chicken sitting in some sauce with onion, chilies, and bell peppers. The chicken was also pretty dry... I ended up drinking a lot of water due to the dryness of the chicken rather than the heat from the chilies. The best part of the chicken dish was the bell peppers. I probably wouldn't get these again, so it was a good thing we got it for free!

Slice of Carvel Ice Cream Cake

I had a coupon that expired at the end of January for a Carvel ice cream cake, so I decided to use it at Fry's (Kroger). The ice cream cake I got was just one of their smaller, ordinary cakes (not a holiday or football themed one). The directions on the box state to thaw the cake in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes after being frozen, but I ate it without thawing it since I prefer harder ice cream.

The whipped icing on top was lighter than some icings/frostings, and it isn't too sweet. The vanilla layer of the cake also didn't have an overwhelmingly rich vanilla flavor. The chocolate part tasted just like chocolate ice cream and had some crumbly bits, however, the bottom chocolate layer of the cake did melt quickly. The cake was a nice, delicious treat.
