Everything


Anamia's "Denny Ray" Dinner

Ok so Anamia's is this mexican & tex-mex restaurant in Coppell. Everyone in Coppell goes there on Friday nights. The only people I know that like it are Landle and Annick. Oh and John. It isn't terrible, but this is Texas and amazing Mexican food is not hard to find But anyway. I went with Annick's family last Friday night and it was insanely busy. It took forever to get our food. And I got this Denny Ray thing, which means a chicken enchilada (left), a cheese enchilada (middle) and a cheese taco (right). It was your standard suburban restaurant quality food.


Pretzel crusted chicken

I guess I'm just obsessed with fried chicken this year. So this is what you need to make this:

1 egg, beaten
chicken breast
crushed pretzels
salt and pepper

salt and pepper the chicken. coat the chicken in the egg and then dip it in the crushed pretzels. Fry it in a pan with hot vegetable oil for 4-5 minutes on each side.

You would think the pretzels would make it exceptionally salty but it totally doesn't. Also it makes it a lot crunchier than regular fried chicken, which I like. Also I've been eating pepperocinis with my fried to chicken to make it taste even saltier. This is really easy to make, I recommend it.


Hoa Hoa Chicken in Garlic Sauce

After our radio meeting Wednesday, some of the other directors and I went to Hoa Hoa, an amazing Chinese restaurant in Dobie Mall. The last time I went to this restaurant was freshmen year when I was a vegetarian, so I decided I ought to get a meat dish this time to try something new. But after we got our food I regretted that big time because the tofu there is sooo good. Also, I think it's weird that when you order meat at Chinese restaurants you don't get any vegetables, but when you order tofu you get beautiful broccoli and carrots. Anyway the chicken was delicious and it came with a ton of mushrooms (are they technically a vegetable?) and I gave most of them to Lace, but I ate some too because I am trying to teach myself to like them.

Hoa Hoa is the best deal ever. You get soup, a spring roll and an entree for about six dollars and you'll definitely have enough food left over to take home for...leftovers.


Pepper

On Friday Lace and I got a pizza for lunch and I ate almost all of this pepper, only the seeds were left. And Lace dared me to eat it. So I did! And it actually tasted better than the rest of the pepper. I think this is because it had been soaking in water for so long that they lost some of their heat. Anyway it was awesome.
