Biscuit Battle

Hi, everyone! Page Turner here. Okay I know it's been a while since my last Monthly Food Entry, so here it is for August. Bon appetite!
              Imagine this: you're on the road, feeling lonely and so cold...not to mention hungry. You're stomach is rumbling and you need a little treat. If you're going to treat yourself you might as well do it right, so you decide for biscuits. But where? Bonjangles or Hardees? How do you know which one is better? Ah, dear reader, that is where I come in. Okay, so that's exactly what happened today and I have done scientific research, complete with pictures, to prove which is better. (In my personal, biased opinion...)
               It started with Bojangles. We drove into the drive through and ordered two steak biscuits for 6.99. We were starving and once we bit into them, we were happy, but not satisfied. We ate a bit, then folded it back up, our hunger for a good biscuit unmet.The biscuit was too doughy and heavy and there was hardly any butter on it. The steak was crunchy and thin, with a sweet peppery taste. Overall it was pretty good, but not what we wanted.
          We headed down the street to Hardees, where two steak biscuits were only 4.99. Yes! Instant score. The biscuit was crumbly and buttery, and it tasted like it had been fried. The steak was thick and juicy, and the batter tasted like rich gravy. Totally satisfying! And much cheaper!
                     Now some people like Bojangles better, so to be fair, I interviewed other biscuit eaters. The results showed that although I and my friend preferred Hardees, due to its succulently juicy meat and deep-fried buttery biscuits, the two biscuit eaters I interviewed declared their love for Bojangles. When asked why, one person said that the meat was better. Her companion agreed. He said that he had tried the mixing the two, but his favorite was Bojangles.
                                Ah, well. I still think that however delicious and satisfying Bojangles is, Hardees will always be my favorite. Come back tomorrow to see pictures and get the full interview!

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

Day 21

  Hey, Page Turner here! Back for day 20 in my countdown to Valentine's Day. There is a lot of romance movies out there. One of my personal favorites is Princess Bride. ( spoiler alerts ahead)  I mean, come on. " My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It doesn't get much better than that, does it?! Princess Bride is a humorous romance complete with a kidnapped princess, shrieking eels, giants, sword fights, Miracle Max, betrayal, and a dashing hero. The best part is the entire story is read by a grandpa to his sick grandchild, a young kid with a cynical sense of humor and boyish distaste for romance. The movie follows the love story of Buttercup and Wesley, two peasants who are madly in love. Their story is cut short when Wesley dies at the hand of the Dread Pirate Robertson, and Buttercup is given to the prince to marry. As the days count down to her wedding day, Buttercup is kidnapped by a Spaniard swordsman, a kind-hearted giant, and a se...
