Allrecipes

Hello Everyone!

 

Today, I will be talking about Allrecipes. Allrecipes is a website and Application that has recipes posted by other people. You can find almost anything on this site. There are pros and cons to this site. Some of the things I like about it are that once you find the recipe you want to try, you can set the number of servings you want to cook. It will also let you print the recipes you want to save for next time. When you want to save a recipe, there are a couple of things you can do. You can create a category and save it to that category for next time, or you can just leave it in your favorites and scroll through them all until you find it. You can also upload your own recipes to share with others for them to try. Now, as for what I don't like about it, Some of the things I don't like about it are that when you go to print the recipes you want, it won't print the serving size you choose, only the default setting. It won't tell you how many people each survivor will feed, which can be frustrating when you are trying to feed a group of people. When you go to save it, you make it part of the site. It will say it was saved but won't show up. It also has a thing called a dinner spinner. It is a great idea, but it doesn't show you all of the results. It will only show you about 20 or 30 before it repeats what you just saw. I would still recommend this site, just don't rely on everything being correct. I hope this helps you when looking for a good cooking site to use.

The Mad Greek Café Restaurant

 Hello Everyone!

Today, I will be writing about The Mad Greek Café Restaurant in Charlotte, NC. I went to eat here with my friend for the first time about 2 months ago. It was my first time trying Greek food, and it was delicious. I never knew how good gyros were. Lamb tastes a lot like beef, and I never thought I would like it, but man, was I wrong. Even though it was good, I had to take a lot of the sauce off because they put a little too much on. The sauce overpowered the flavor of the lamb. Their tea has an interesting flavor. I still haven't been able to put my finger on exactly what the flavor is, but if you're the kind of person who likes it really sweet, then I would recommend getting a different drink. The place has outdoor seating and is nice, even though it is located on a very busy street. In the afternoons, it is not super busy, so there is a lot of space. As for dinner, it gets packed. I hope this helps if you're looking to try this restaurant.

Skyland Family Restaurant

Hello Everyone!

Today I will be writing about the Skyland Family restaurant. It is a wonderful restaurant to visit. It is family owned and operated. All the workers there make sure you have a great experience. They have a wide verity of food to eat here. I normally get their breakfast food which is alway great. Their french toast, bacon egg and cheese, waffle, and breakfast combo (drawing a blank on the name right now, sorry) are delicious. I have also tried their spaghetti as well. The portion was huge. I could barely eat half of it. Now as for the taste of it, that depends on your preference. If you're the kind or person who like it plain where you only taste the meat and sauce, then it not something you would like. If you the kind of person who likes to add a little extra favor to it, then this would be a good choice to try. I love to eat here when I need a nice calm, quiet place to relax while I eat. I hope this helps in your decision making.

Calabash Seafood Hut

Hello Everyone! 

 

Today, I went to the Calabash Seafood Hut in Calabash, NC. This isn't the first time I've been here. I have been going there ever since I was little. My grandfather would make us eat there at least 3 times during the week that we were at the beach visiting them. He loved this place, and now it's my father's favorite place to eat seafood. The only difference is that we stop on the way to the beach and on the way home. The shrimp is great at the Seafood Hut. I'm not much of a seafood lover, but when I do eat it, I won't eat anywhere but there. My mother likes the fish and shrimp lunch special. My father and I normally get the shrimp special. It comes with shrimp, fries, and cold slaw. It's not a large plate of shrimp, but it's the perfect size, in my opinion. Overall, my favorite thing to eat there is their hushpuppies. The hushpuppies are perfect. It can get very busy in the afternoons, so there might be a little bit of a wait depending on the time of day. They also have a walk-up window outside. You can pick up your order and sit at the outdoor tables, place a Togo order, or pick up your carryout order there. If you choose to sit outside, you should be aware that there is no table service. So, if you're ever in Calabash, NC, North Myrtle Beach, SC, Myrtle Beach, SC, etc., you should stop by there and try it.

Anne Springs Close Greenway

Hello Everyone! 

I hope you find this blog helpful as you prepare for your hike. Today, I will be writing about the Anne Springs Close Greenway (ASCG). For those of you who don't know, this greenway is not like a normal greenway. It is more like the trails you would hike if you were in the mountains. There are some easy trails and some intermediate trails. Now don't get confused on the word easy when it comes to these trails. In this case, the word easy pretty much means your not walking up steep hills the whole time. There are about 20 or more different trails here. There is Archers Loop, Billy's Walk, Fern Forest, Haigler Loop, Steel Creek, Trekker Loop, Blue Star, Avery Loop, Mill Pond, Paradise Loop, Prairie Loop, Tunnel Trail, Dogwood, Ford Gap, Hickory, Muscatine, Nation Ford, Timberline, Wagon Loop, and Wild Azalea. So far, I have hiked Mill Pond which is intermediate (Medium) and about a 3.9 mile hike. Depending on how experienced you are at hiking it is about, give or take, a 2 hour hike depending on your pace time. I will continue to update this post as I hike the rest of the trails. Thank you for reading and I hope this helped you prepare a little before starting your hike.

Park Place Restaurant

Hello Everyone! 

Today I will be writing about a restaurant in Pineville, NC. The name of this restaurant is Park Place. I have been here many times before. The food here is wonderfull. If you were to visit this restaurant, I would recommend their breakfast menu. I especially like their waffles. Their waffles are always hot and cooked to perfect crispness. I have never had any problems with the waffles. Now as for their hashbrowns, they are more of a hit or miss kind of thing. Sometimes they are great, where as, other times they can be as hard as a rock. The customer service here is wonderful. I have always had a pleasant experience with their service. This restaurant can be really busy at times so make sure to plan ahead.
