191st New Thing - Tried Wendy's Breaksfast

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Sat 4/28/12).

It appears as if certain fast food restaurants have been experimenting with breakfast items lately. 2 examples would be Wendy's and Taco Bell. I think only select restaurants serve it. We wanted to try Wendy's Breakfast since we received a coupon in the mail for a free Artisan Egg Sandwich with side and drink so we decided to try it. We ordered an Artisan Egg Sandwich (eggs, natural Asiago cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, and Hollandaise sauce, atop a honey-wheat artisan toasted muffin) which came with seasoned home-style potatoes (skin-on, natural-cut, home-style potatoes seasoned with sea salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder) and orange juice, and ordered a Mornin' Melt Panini (natural Asiago and Cheddar cheeses, eggs seasoned with salt and pepper, Applewood Smoked Bacon, and tomato with butter and grilled with a panini press). Wendy's Breakfast was average, about the same quality as any fast food joint.

Eating My Way Thru NOLA - Day 3

NOLA - October 2018 PJ's Coffee (5432 Magazine St, New Orleans LA 70115) - Goal was The King Cake Protein Velvet Ice but apparently that was only seasonal around Mardi Gras.

Parran’s Po-Boys & Restaurant (3939 Veterans Blvd, Metairie LA 70002) - Seafood Trifecta (1/3 fried shrimp sandwich, 1/3 fried oyster sandwich, 1/3 fried catfish sandwich *best*) dressed (mayo, lettuce, tomato).

271st New Thing - Visited the Space Needle

I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 1 day ago (Tues 7/17/12). We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends were in Seattle and up the Space Needle yesterday. The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington and is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators, with over 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet high at its highest point and 138 feet wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 mph and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude. The tower also has 25 lightning rods on its roof to prevent lightning damage. The Space Needle features an observation deck at 520 feet, and a gift shop with the rotating SkyCity resta...

39th New Thing – Donated $1 to Books For Africa

I read an Oprah.com article, 16 Ways to Make an Incredible Impact With Less Than $15 , recently about 16 different organizations you can donate to for as low as a $1 donation or up to a $15. Since it is the holiday season of giving, I decided to donate $1 to Books For Africa . Supposedly $1 will provide 2 books shipped to a classroom in Africa. Access to an education is one of the only opportunities young people have to end the cycle of poverty and attain a better quality of life than previous generations. Books For Africa works to help children who otherwise would not attend school by supplying educational materials to reduce or eliminate education costs. In the wake of Wyclef's accusations (1/3 of $16 million raised went to the charity), I was a little leery of donating but if Oprah says it is a reliable organization, it must be!
