Never Ending Pasta Bowl...

So today was a treat, my family and I went and ate at Olive Garden to try their Never Ending Pasta Bowl. All I can say it did not disappoint, the offer consists of your choice of Pasta and Sauce along with choice of soup or Salad plus unlimited bread sticks. All for $9.95
So you could mix and match your dinner all you want. And after watching the commercial for it my family decided to try it out.
Well needles to say I started with my favorite soup the Zuppa Toscana; a creamy soup with potatoes, leaf leak, Italian sausage and more.
First Pasta:
Whole Wheat Linguini Alfredo
Second Pasta:
Penne Five Cheese Marinara
I just wish I had room for more however as tasty as everything is super filling. Anyways if you find any free time I recommend you try this. Cheers.

Golden Star, Chinese Cuisine

So as long as I can remember as a child almost every other weekend my mom and dad would take my sister to Golden Star, out on Wheaton Way in Bremerton. Needless to say it will always be my favorite restaurant of all time, it excersizes a traditional take with a very low key notice in the community, since I've been going there regularly for the last 20 something years. Today I want to share my favorite dishes from them, the chef special No. 2;
Start with there signature egg drop soup, I know you are thinking, egg drop soup? What is special about that, well for me it brings back some of the happiest moments in my life with my family being together. Also the flavors are to hard to explain in words you really have to try it for yourself and make your own memories. :)
Next is the main Dish:
Breaded Almond Fried Chicken with tasty gravy,
Pork Fried Rice
And a delicious serving of Beef Chow Mein.
All this for only under $10
It is perhaps the best reminder of why I love food besides all the great dishes my mom taught me over the last few years. All of this brings back great memories. I hope you enjoy and Cheers.

1Tbs butter
Salt and pepper TT
When everything is set and ready place in a flat casserole pan, spread mash potatoes on top of everything. Sprinkle a little of panko bread crumbs on top. Then back at 350 degrees for 30 min.
