Stur sugar free syrup to add to water

this is macaroni salad, Philippines style. I cut the recipe in half and I will still be eating it for many days. Compared to Canadian style this one is different because it has some condensed milk and crushed pineapple in it

March 2020 Ogdensburg Oddities


I had been wanting to go back to Watertown, NY for a while.  I started googling for restaurants near Fort Drum and I found L&L Hawaiian BBQ on the map.


Inside L&L Hawaiian BBQ. It had many frozen yogurt machines but they were all out of order


This is the chicken katsu plate lunch.  Huge portion.  Looks delicious.  Unfortunately the chicken tasted bad - the oil in the deep fryer hasn't been changed in 2 billion years, maybe.

February 2020 Ogdensburg Oddities


McFlurry with "shamrock" (mint) flavor added.  I thought it was just oreo flavoured.  That extra squirt of green liquid has very little mint flavor.  I threw it out.


















New flavoured waters and salad dressing.  The smartwater ones were not bad.





















new kitkats: mint and lemon crisp

Fish tacos from D'Arcy McGee's were pretty gross (overfried fish fingers)















Cooling off instant pot when making sweet tea (reddit recipe)
















Party Mix All Dressed snack mix is a competitor to Storm Chips in a way because it has many flavours of chips in 1 bag: onion, bbq, etc.




















I tried this recipe for inside out eggrolls in the instant pot.  I guess it kind of tasted like what's inside an eggroll but it was  missing the grease of the outer wonton wrapper so not very good over all.












These taquitors were disgusting.  It's like a greasy tube full of greasy cheez whiz.  Out of maybe 10 that I ate, only one had a piece of beef in it that I could  notice.

I bought the Looney Spoons 1990s recipe book.  After burning 1 recipe I tried this one which was supposed to be some Chinese flavour.  It tasted mostly like 5-spice powder.













This Oikos eggnog flavoured yogurt did not taste like eggnog
