July 2018 Ogdensburg Oddities

We tried Sandwich Warehouse, which is in the building that used to be Knot Just Donutz and More.  Here are some business machines

I had a grilled cheese sandwich. The name is Armory.  All the sandwiches were named after places in town.

My friend had a Reuben

worst flavour ever of cookies: back to school

Finally we went to check out Marche Adonis, a middle-Eastern superstore in Gatineau. My Egyptian coworker always mentioned going to a location in Montreal.  It was his favourite store, so I had to check it out.  It is not as wild and crazy as T&T in terms of ethnic stores. It is a large store but a lot of the stuff inside is not exotic because this chain is owned by Metro.  There are many counters selling the weird stuff, but you have to ask for them (cheese, meat, nuts, olives, baked meat pies, etc.)  I was a bit nervous to practise my French so I stuck with the stuff that was already packaged.

I got my coworkers some loukoum and candies from France.  I will definitely go back and try asking for stuff.  Their spinach pies were just fine.

These chips just tasted like BBQ

This was absolutely disgusting. It didn't taste like cheese. It didn't look like  the picture.  The "ground beef" was like a liquid.

Went to Luna Crepes & Cafe with ex-coworker friends.  This croissant with egg and cheese was OK but the new family running the place hid the spoons, napkins, straws, and ketchup, and my gelato was tasteless.

This popcorn was flavourless

This orange coke was gross.  Kind of like vanilla.  Couldn't taste the orange.

Nice guy Dave gave me these Malaysian snacks for babysitting his guinea pig. One of the cookies was BBQ pork flavour!

Another visit to Seaway Diner and Smokehouse.  This is the meat smoker. If you sit near it you feel like you are smelling a camp fire.

Smoked chicken.  Just fine

new M&Ms and Tostitos chips

Twizzlers - key lime pie filled, Sour Patch kids

Keebler Fudge Stripes, Key Lime Milano, Entenmann's donuts

Steve's ice cream: Southern Banana Pudding flavour.  This was delicious.

This Chips Ahoy! cereal tastes nothing like cookies. I am feeding it to the squirrels because it is disgusting.

Strawberry shortcake oreos: not so good!  and portable chocolate cheese cake that is nothing like cheesecake in texture or taste

Strawberry chocolate milano cookies: just OK
Chocolate Peanut butter pie oreos: blah
Pistachio oreos: delicious

Cheez It Duoz: I only liked the crackers.

Blue doritos - not so good

Finally tried a Popafella vegan popsicle.  This place is near work.  Great taste but $4 is too much!  This one was cucumber mint.

This watermelon drink is from Vietnam.  The non sparkling one was excellent.

Strawberry perrier

This cereal is just fine

Strawberry Kit Kat - not so good

We went to the Seaway Diner and Smokehouse BBQ restaurant.  It is close to Ogdensburg.  Pretty fun inside and good food too.  This is a cheeseburger with macaroni and cheese and bacon on it.

This is a Cobb salad from a food truck called Urban Cowboy Eats.  It parks at the 19th Tee mini golf.  It was ok but left me hungry, and as you can see, the chef wasn't careful about the lettuce (brown worm holes on 3 pieces).

I made Rice Krispies squares with Fruity Pebbles.  I liked it and so did 1 coworker but most others did not like.

This time I used chocolate Lucky Charms cereal

We went to Pham Le this week.  Just fine! Two thumbs up.

Strawberry lemonade is just fine.  Ripple drink is gross, like drinking pea protein shake

Onion soup from The 3 Brewers. It was ok.

Nachos from The 3 Brewers. They were kind of dry and crumbly.

Sweet & Spicy lays.. the bag says it's a flavour fusion but it doesn't say of what.  Not so good.  Didn't taste anything like chicken wings

Canada Dry lemon ginger ale. It was ok.  I will bring the other 11 cans to work
