How I Celebrated

Pudding mix, cream, and milk. It is still super thick, but I don't really know how thick or how light it should be. This one was super sticky. I think the pudding mix I used was a bigger box. That means the flavor was rich but the texture was kinda glue like haha.

Cream pies are always a yes. And so are rice cakes. My first experience with rice cakes were when another kid from school would bring them with his home lunch. I tried one once and begged my mom to buy them. She said they were too expensive. I mean, she wasn't wrong, rice is relatively cheap on its own, but then to have a few cakes of puffed rice cost more than a big ol bag? Nope.

I don't know that I will like any dark chocolate like I do dove chocolate because of how smooth it is. This chocolate bar pretends to be for a good cause, but in all honesty, it didn't taste very good and only having a percentage of "profits" being donated to endangered species doesn't seem to do much good (much like the chocolate bar and my health). The Swedish cake though... that was really delicious.

History

Punchbowl
For a while, nachos never seemed appetizing in high school. At least nacho cheese. Then came the first time I tried a crunchwrap at taco bell. I thought, what is this sinfully delicious sauce? Oh. Nacho cheese.

How I Celebrated

While we have been the happy recipients of free yum yum donuts from friends, this was our first time actually buying one from the shop. Nice and creamy? I guess that is the word. I got the cinnamon twist and Nate got the maple bacon bar.

Punchbowl men make dinner and candy
Nate is an awesome dude who makes me dinner quite often. There should be no problem there. Woah, they eat more candy in Denmark? And we are still more obese? What a shame, America.

How I Celebrated

We were thinking about trying the sandwich shop neither one of us has been to inside target called Which Wich, but Nate suggested going for the buy one get one at Subway. I love me my meatball sub, but Nate was kinda disappointed at how much their prices have gone up (yeah, that is how often we go, the price hike seems THAT unreasonable.)

Fried clams seems like a good idea, and so do bison. I had to cook for a friend's dog once when I pet sat it. I have to say that was the most pampered dog I have ever met.
