Well the move’s not going well, but we’re almost all settled in to the new place and are trying to get our home straightened out. It’s such a chore to deal with people using a kitchen you use when you know they don’t wash their hands and then go around touching everything, or they’ll eat anything you put in the fridge so I hope you didn’t want it. It’s not that they’re bad people, but they don’t think about anyone but themselves usually and they’re kind of callous.

But on the bright side, I come baring a new freebie! Coca-Cola now has an application on Facebook called the Ahh Giver, which is basically a little animated Coke postcard. But if you get to it just at the right time on Monday (and while supplies last), you can send your friend (or have them send you) a coupon worth 99 cents off of a 14-16oz Coke! Check it out HERE!

Well my camera’s not working, and even when it was I couldn’t figure out how to control the blasted thing which meant fuzzy pictures on a good day, badly lit ones on a bad. Half of the photos here are from a mobile phone, which was the only way to get a semi clear picture!

On top of that I just find myself working too much to really get into blogging what little food I do make, which is a shame actually. With no room down here (hopefully will change once I’m moved), bad lighting, no usable camera and no money to buy food, I’m sorry to say that this blog is boring even to me, lol.

It’s just as well, really, because I’m in one of those no food slumps and because of that I may start posting recipe-related articles with no photos because I’m not actually making the dishes. Here’s to hoping the camera and food situations get better!

I’ve been gone so long it’s starting to look like I never eat, which is not far from the truth lol. I’m so dead broke (and kind of far from anywhere but franchises) that it makes me wonder if I’ll ever have something decent to post here. However, pretending these chains are as fun for everyone else to read as it is for this poor girl who’s just now able to visit these places is part of what keeps me actually blogging.

Granted, I do need a new camera but we’ll just pretend, once again, that the truth is how I see it and I actually have one. And now I shall LOL out loud.

But I have a treat for you guys, and it’s not one of my silly chicken dishes or my blurry pictures, oh no! It’s a link to one of my favorite food blogs in which you get to relive a bit of Travel Channel fun when Off The Broiler went to White Manna with Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations fame. How frigging cool is that?

Well we’ve finally evaded my awful, horrible mother’s grasp (she wants us to live in KC but to never go anywhere – which annoys me to no end, since she should have no control over my life at this point, but I digress, lol.) and visited one of our favorite fast food places which would be Panda Express. Now, we’ve never been to this one (it’s up on Barry Rd. in Kansas City, where St. Claire(?) and Barry Rd. intersect about half a mile from Lake Waukomis and The Coves.

It was awesome, very clean and friendly with a great atmosphere. We bought some of their famous orange chicken, I had a pepsi and Laota had a tea. We sat and took some pictures then grabbed a bottle of their orange sauce (very good, we’ve had it as a glaze on roasted chicken since). It even has a little outdoor spot with a few tables to eat – pardon the bad pics, had to take them with my phone! Out of five stars, it easily gets four – check it out if you have time!
