TATA, we miss you!

I feel in my heart and believe in mind that TATA, the dog of Rampai and her Mom, will be in doggie heaven, which surely must be where all the dogs go and get to be exactly as they were when they were young and full of energy. Maybe they get to play ball and always be very happy in that wonderful place. I believe the soul or spirit of every person, and our pets too, continues after his or her life on earth is finished, even if I can't explain how that happens. Rampai, I hope you know I'm thinking of you especially now, and I'm glad you are such a good friend.

Ready for Fall, and getting back Up! too

In a little more than a month, I'm going to drink a latte (or several, though not the same day) to help me feel Up! for Fall, and buy the soon-to-be-released album by Alice in Chains, "Black Gives Way to Blue".

"A Looking In View" is the superb hard-rock single (of more than 7 minutes in playing time) which I've been listening to often this summer. It's powerful, starts very strong, and the band, with a new singer, sounds as good as they did in the '90s when they had several hits, which I feel can best described as grunge-rock/hard-rock.

I bought the single on iTunes, after first listening to it when the band gave fans a free download. I deleted it that same day, and purchased the song later once I figured out how to do it. I hope other rock fans will buy this wonderful hard-rocking single.

It's only been the recent years that I've been a true Alice in Chains fan, first getting excited every time I heard one of their songs on the radio, then buying their greatest hits CD about two and a half years ago.

Here's the link to an Alice in Chains website. You must only click "Yes" on the website if you are 18 (or older), and must click "No" if you are under 18 because there is "Explicit Content" in the music video. Also, in my opinion, this video, which is with the song "A Looking in View" is hard to watch if a scary, slightly violent movie bothers you; it's tense and almost frightening scenes could bother some viewers. But in my personal opinion, it's an outstanding video to go along with this excellent rock song!

One last thing: the song "A Looking In View" will be in my Top 100 rock songs but I don't know when my list will be finished... possibly next year.

I'm glad you stopped by here.

You can click on the photo of the "dream shake" and it gets a little larger. Also, I just put it as background on my computer. It looks delicious, and huge!

Dream Shake


Soy Shake (made of soy-based products) -- up very close and enlarged to bigger than the actual size.

Now I'll sleep and dream of drinking a shake as tall as a building. There goes my diet... but it's just going to be a dream. So you can be there too, and we will
drink shakes together.

Yes Rampai, I'm joking coz that makes for a happy day.
But you can come along, Okky too, and any other friends out there
who want to have a shake party. That would be a lot of fun!

Rampai and Okky, thank you for being two of my good friends on the Internet!

Scott

I wrote this little fake invitation to my fantasy shake party (above) in May. But I'm adding to this post:

Right now I'm waiting to listen to a hard-rocking single I bought on the Internet and will listen to it and maybe make another soy shake.

Oh wow! This is almost like live, except when you read it I'll be doing something else and maybe not even be awake. Let's just pretend we are all together... so guess what?

The song that I purchased has finished downloading into iTunes. I'll write more about the song (somewhere up ^^ there in my blog) because it's one of my favorite songs this year.

Warren, Ohio was a good place to be born

I just found out that Dave Grohl, the frontman of the rock band Foo Fighters, is going to be honored Saturday (today) in Warren, Ohio, where he was born, according to Trib Today and Rock & Roll Daily in Rolling Stone. These are good stories. I'll try to add relevant links as I run across them.

Well, I was very excited to learn that Grohl, a famous rock star and one of my favorite rock vocalists, was born in Warren since I was born there, too. Unbelievable, right?! No, I'm not just jumping on the 'bandwagon' and I'm not making this up. I was born in Warren, Ohio. It's what my parents told me over and over in past years. And we discussed it again this morning. We moved to Oregon when I was a child. My Mom and Dad will be going back to Ohio this month, so I've asked them to snap a few pictures of "Dave Grohl Alley" in Warren, Ohio.

Wanta feel so blessed

This summer, I plan to be about as unpopular as possible. I could achieve this goal by posting my photos without captions, then other times writing lengthy, boring stories about my love life. I've thought the longest post in the history of blogging would get people ready to sleep well the night before a big concert. There's one coming up. I'm getting excited but I don't have a date. That's cool because I'm sure there will be some pretty girls there.

Okay, just for readers. I will provide my expert analysis of the last paragraph in an effort to explain what Fast Food Yummy is about, other than the obvious fact, that I am writing about fast food and think some of it is "yummy".

First, I have had a love life at times during my life, even though it's not apparent at this time.

Secondly, keep in mind that I'm joking around and don't give a damn. Umm, I mean I don't care, but to some extent I do. (below, I'll finish this thought.)

Thirdly, I don't swear on this blog. Or, I didn't swear on this blog. Heck, if you are learning English, I was only trying to help by demonstrating the difference between present tense and past tense.

Lastly, and seriously, I'm a writer who sometimes writes like he's talking, with the purpose of having fun and sharing fun with others.

Now back to what I wrote about not caring. I do care, but I am waiting for a pretty person with a terrific personality. In other words, a supermodel. Yeah, I'm joking. A beautiful singer would be much better. If she wants to come over here this afternoon and sing me to sleep, I'd feel really blessed. Everyone always tells me in messages: "God bless." I sure hope he does.

See! Funny. Somewhat real. A little fantasy and fun. And you know the writing about fast food will be here as long as I am.

Reader, are you here? Oh yeah, you are here, but I can't find *here* on a map, so don't get lost on the way out.

Fast Food Yummy. Have some fun!

Peas Ouch! Cake There!

If you figured it out and liked it, please, please, remember how much I need to be blessed. haha I'll try to rock a little more next time I write.

Bye.

Summer gets spicy at Wendy's


Wendy's boneless chicken wings were a great choice
of fast food to get the 4th of July party started.

Honey BBQ and Sweet & Spicy Asian Chicken are two of the three types of boneless chicken wings on the Wendy's menu. I shared with my parents and we ate the chicken at their picnic table. Along with the fountain sodas from Taco Time and Carl's Jr., it was a very nice lunch.

Wendy's fast-food chain has found a 'winner' in boneless chicken wings which are very delicious!

Hook me up to a Soda Fountain Machine


There's nothing wrong with starting new traditions
on a holiday... umm but this won't be one of them.
Drinking out of both sides of my mouth is just for the picture.
Later and earlier, I went back and forth, comparing the two.
In Ontario, Oregon USA, Taco Time's fountain-drink soda was still
better than Carl's Jr., though they were the top two,
as I wrote last time.

Today, I wanted to make sure I was right (and I was!) and start another season of soda drinking with the top two. This picture was taken just before lunch.

Note: I don't work for these fast food restaurants or any fast-food restaurant or chain, and I don't speak for them. Trademarks, copyrights, logos, and brand names are the property of their owners.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Taco Time has the best soda in town

The best fountain-drink soda in Ontario, Oregon is at Taco Time.(near Wal-Mart.) Also pictured is a Crisp Chicken Burrito -- my favorite food on the menu, because it tastes great with a fizzy soft drink.



I love going out for soda and if a fast-food restaurant has great tasting fountain drinks, they will see me again and again.

Taco Time in Ontario has the best fountain soda. It tastes very sweet--the way I like pop-- with the perfect amount of carbonation, not too little and not too much. I've been frequenting this Taco Time for several years because it has consistently outstanding fountain drinks.

My decision was the result of drinking soda at many other Ontario fast-food restaurants a good part of this decade as well as getting fountain drinks in convenience stores at gas stations and truck stops. And after a long process of slowly eliminating from contention many of the fountain drinks (some were terrible and not worth remembering), I narrowed it down to a small number of great fountain drinks in the last year.

Taco Time finished "Number 1" in fountain-drink soda, followed by Carl's Jr. which also had very good soda. The last time I drank soda at these two restaurants (different days), I went there at about the same time of day, which was around 5 pm, before the dinner crowd arrived. I drank my mixture of Diet Coke and Dr Pepper from each restaurant. Taco Time had the sweeter soda. The carbonation of the soda was outstanding.

The fountain soda at Carl's Jr. this time was still good but could have been sweeter, and it also had a bit too much fizz which bothers my stomach. That's why I feel Taco Time has the best fountain soda.

But maybe in a year or two, I'll do this all over again... THE BEGINNING. haha You thought I was going to write... umm the end?! Not a chance.

Note: I don't work at these or any other fast-food restaurants or chains, and I don't own a fast-food business. I eat fast food and write about it.

Congratulations, Taco Time! Have a great summer!

Yummy Shake


The top of a large Cappuccino Shake at The Hamburger Connection
in Caldwell, Idaho.

After eating Seasoned Curly Fries and drinking iced coffee from Jack in the Box, a week ago on Saturday, I was still hungry and went looking for a shake. I found it at The Hamburger Connection, known for their thick "Mile High Shakes".


The shake was yummy and I ate it with the long plastic spoon they gave me. Honestly, I couldn't finish the large shake and instead should have ordered a small one. A large (22 oz) shake there costs $3.69 which ends up being $3.91 with tax, so I probably won't order it often.

I've been ordering shakes on several occasions this year and hope to write an article on my favorite shake. But I'm not going to decide right away which shake I liked best. However, I did come to a conclusion yesterday regarding what I feel is the best fountain-drink soda at a local fast-food restaurant. I will post more on this topic next time.

"Some err... Heat" is reality. Still, it better stay clear of The Cool Shadow


Sure, it's only a shadow of a shake, and my hand which was holding the shake. (I'm referring to the earlier cropped photo, see a previous post.)
But if the shadow could kick the... ahh sorry, this is supposed to be a civilized blog... i mean if shadow did have a nice, calm conversation with "Some err... Heat" it should... I mean would convince the heat to stop being a bad it.

But this cool shadow is just a shadow. Besides, my blog isn't about superheroes and enemies of eaters, such as: the blandness monster, that driving-around-with-no-air-conditioner thirst (i get it often in the summer), and the fear that marketing people really will find a way to turn burgers, fries, shakes, etc. into real beings, not just for funny commercials, and umm they will then demand vacations and hmm... no, not longer lunch breaks. It's food. I think I'd better tell one of my friends I'm joking now or I will forever worry that she thinks that I think french fries want or need vacations. Why am I explaining this...oh yeah, coz I'm a blogger.

Anyways, summer heat ain't got no ahh...sorry (again).

So just shake your Shake... don't shake your... well, I better go now.

You can dance, though. Sing too, if you like.

Wear a smile!

Fast-Food Snack(s) Day


Saturday afternoon was kind of boring.
With not much going on at a shopping mall
and not wanting to eat a big meal, I went looking
for snacks.

I went to a Jack in the Box drive-thru and got
a large iced coffee (with caramel flavor) then decided
to get Seasoned Curly Fries. This is medium size and
I dipped these fries in Buttermilk House Sauce.

Later, I stopped at another fast-food joint for a shake.
All of my snacks tasted good but the curly fries was the
best of menu items that I ordered yesterday, and some
other days, too.

Maybe the only thing better would be KISS concerts everywhere

If you want to go to a Kiss concert... Yeah, I mean the rock band "KISS", you should read about how fans can vote for locations of Kiss concerts in North America. (I really liked the article on Reuters.com.)

Do-good, feel-better Dog story

I like stories about people who loved and did good deeds to help animals, especially to save or make life better for dogs, cats, and other pets.

I just read a touching story about a fallen U.S. soldier in Iraq and how he had helped a dog in Iraq and made the dog his pet. The news story can be found on MSN.com. It's one of my favorite stories about someone showing love for a dog, so that's why I wanted to share the link. It's very cool!

Invisible message: what May ROCK!

Two months ago, I provided a little humorous remark that I thought March was going to go out like a rock star making a comeback. Actually, I have no idea what I meant and was hoping someone would tell me. umm... insert haha.

Maybe I was two months ahead in my thinking. ok it's nothing. And...err, uh, well, (besides this being maybe the only place on the planet where a guy writes likes he's tongue-tied) umm... Your guess is as good as mine about upcoming weather. Although I do know what's going on in rock music these days is very interesting. At least it is for me.

First, I bought two music CDs and hope to go into more detail later. My feeling is there could be one, two or more songs from those albums on my top-whatever-number-of-songs list. No, that won't be the name of my list, but it is kinda catchy. so now people are going to be googling Scott's 'whatever-number-of-songs list'... good luck! haha

What was that second thing I wanted to write. Oh yeah, wait as I attempt to straighten out my smile and get serious.

Alright, next time I'll just have a short post, which will be in the regular, boring text color. However, the post will 'rock' because there will be a link to something of interest for fans of the rock group KISS.

I made a correction that I meant "to love" in the last post.

What's going on there?


I'm not doing anything very exciting, drinking water...
well, coffee too, and also thinking
about the meaning of life, listening to rock music,
and thought this picture I snapped today, looked
cool. I deleted the rough draft, where I wrote about
"to love" being an infinite infinitive... and also didn't include
my idea to turn Thursday into Friday for lonely romantics
who don't like Fridays without dates. (ok I know you have dates, a spouse or don't want one, so you won't need to keep reading.)

If I do something fun on Thursday,
when Friday arrives it's more like Saturday, and of course
Saturday becomes like Sunday. Since I don't think about hot dates
on Sunday, except in the middle of very long sermons (which isn't why I haven't been going to church... and if you're a minister, No it wasn't funny) it seems to make sense.
Have a great weekend! It's Thursday here, maybe Friday there.
Whatever... it's a good day for some fun! That's not advice. You don't have to have any fun if you don't want to.

Lunch-time latte at McDonald's



A small Vanilla Latte at McDonald's
is one of the McCafe specialty coffee drinks on
the menu.

It's a hot latte, or at least it was when they served it. I took my time sipping the latte, yesterday afternoon, and really savored it. The latte had a good flavor, sweet but not too sweet. I still like the hazelnut ice coffee better, though I'll be back to this McDonald's location again for a latte or one of the other coffee choices. I also ordered the small french fries and kept some for later. And as you might have guessed, later also included something else to eat (actually a shake which I drank with a straw though it was sort of thick) and umm yeah, even later, an iced coffee at another fast-food place.

Did I forget to mention anything? Of course I did. But I can't remember what it was... oh yeah, I was listening to the radio, mostly hard-rock songs (though I didn't have the volume up loud), went to a couple of stores and looked at new and old albums/CDs, and did some more thinking about my favorite rock songs.

It's going to be difficult to decide which songs are among the top 50 or whatever. That's especially true because I haven't heard all the rock music, nowhere close (and don't plan to) but I'll just do my best and have to be happy with it that way. I hope you and other people out there come up with your own lists of favorite songs. Perhaps there will be rock and pop/rock songs on my list. I'm not sure -- and it's just for fun. Well, enjoy your day! Take care.

My Morning Triple Treat

I was looking for a way to feel happy
Wednesday morning. After stopping
at three fast-food restaurants, I found
what I wanted to eat and drink.
This photo wasn't at a restaurant.
How I wish they had a local food-court
with all the famous fast foods in the same location, with tables where people could eat... umm and people watch and stuff like that. I have no idea where the single, available young ladies in their 20's, 30's, 40'sare, but it would be fun to meet them while err...dining on burgers, fries, shakes, sodas, etc. I'm such a romantic guy. haha
It's Thursday. I think I'll buy an iced coffee, then come back and listen to a new music CD I bought at the store.That ought to help me get ready for Friday.

The Dog wonders why I take pictures of all my food


Your dream about a funny guy eating a sub sandwich at 4 am was real.

Yes, that's me back in January! There's a dog (not pictured) watching me. When it's late at night or early morning and I have food, she magically shows up. It's kinda spooky sometimes when she rounds the corner in the middle of the night with the goal of eating my meal, but she's not a ghost, so I'm not too worried.

After a late night which got going in a Starbucks drive-thru... yeah, all by my lonesome, please send love and kisses, especially the kisses... err anyway, I did lotsa stuff then got some gas at a location of Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores and bought a sub sandwich in the Subway restaurant at Love's, brought it back to the place, where the dog could give me that look, the one that makes me think she's questioning my thinking skills.For example, and of course I'm making this up: She could be thinking, "Why does he always take pictures of food before eating it, instead of the other way around?! Shouldn't the food be eaten first?!" Okay I doubt she's thinking that but it sounded rather humorous. But of course if I must explain the joke, umm yeah, I suck. But in a very, very nice way.

So use your imagination and while you are at it imagine you are out with me on a date, if you are a pretty gal that is. Ok don't do that unless you really want to and not only because I'm buying. Oh really, you're buying? Wow! Thanks. (now I'm sure you won't be able to sleep tonight unless, ok you will... because I post these entries in my night and during most of your mornings or afternoons... so you'll have time to forget it before you fall asleep. What a nice guy I am!)

Wait a minute! Make sure to be sweet, funny and don't have a voice (much) deeper than mine. Ok yeah, haha. I think a note should go right here. This blog isn't a diary and I don't write everything about myself and my life. It's supposed to be a fun time.

Food-related note: I've ordered the same kind of sandwich a number of times since I ate the one pictured above, though I have forgotten the exact number. Last time, the bread was dry and a bit crusty, but each of the other times the sandwich was very good tasting and was even better than I thought it would be.

Symmetry is an enemy of the mind

That could have been the caption for my last photo (below), taken March 31. (It was cropped.) There is sort of an uneasy feeling that comes from the sidewalk not being centered. I struggled with this for a while, until I gave up and decided to post it on Friday without any description.

Now it's early Saturday morning, and yes I do need coffee. I almost wrote something about a very long, imaginary prog-rock song but stopped myself before our attention spans and imaginations were all tested. Maybe some other time.

Hey. Have fun! Sing a song! Do a little dance! Be happy and love yourself! Take care. Bye.

Iced Coffee Should Always be so Yummy!


Here's a photo of the best tasting iced coffee
I've had so far this year. It has that hazelnut flavor
I really love. (I drank a little of the iced coffee

before snapping this photo.)

I bought this iced coffee on Sunday, in the
drive thru of Freeway McDonald's restaurant (near Kmart)
in Ontario, Oregon. The guy who made it did a great job!

Thank you!

Actually, I've ordered iced coffee at Jack in the Box more often this year and have been to four or more of those restaurants, generally buying it at the drive-thru window.


I also drank iced coffee beverages from two Burger King locations. The two iced coffees tasted quite different to me, and the second of the two was way too sweet for me and didn't seem like there was as much caffeine as the first time, when it was very good and very competitive in terms of quality and flavor.

But the McDonald's iced coffee beverage is better than the others, so far. The plastic cup says this is (made with) "Premium Roast Coffee" and it sure tastes like an excellent coffee to me. Maybe I'll write more at a later date.

I'm a blogger and this is my blog about fast food and some other topics I have been known to think about when I'm eating fast food or drinking a soft drink, coffee, tea, or just relaxing. I believe in freedom of speech! I hope the world gets more freedom of speech for all people, everywhere!

There! That's all. I'm finished with this post. I just thought you should know. haha Ok take care. See ya.

Rock Music

This evening, I drove up at the right time, because I like rock music and one of my favorite rock songs came on the radio: "Best of You" by Foo Fighters. It's going to be in my list of top songs of the decade. That's for sure!! I'm thinking about writing a top 20, or maybe a longer list, but not sure whether it will be posted on this blog, another blog or remain unpublished.

I'd also like to come up with a list of (what I consider to be) the best rock songs -- going back to the '70s anyway -- though it would NOT be based on sales, popularity or how many times the songs were played on the radio. On this list, there also could be tracks that were not released as 'singles' and possibly not played on the radio. Yes, I do like the freedom of speech to tell my friends about my favorite songs, albums, movies, TV shows, foods, etc.

I'm also drinking the best iced coffee I've had so far this year. If I got a good photo, I'll post it later. Just remember, your memories matter! Be who you are! And have fun!

For some reason, the blog is acting up, perhaps it's a computer virus but I'm not sure. Anyway, this is just a note to explain that earlier problems caused it to publish when I tried to save a draft and also caused the photo to not show up the first time. Hope the blog works now and you can see the post. Thanks for your patience.

On this particular early-morning trip to Jack in the Box


I had to ask for some half and half
and sugar because the iced coffee
was a touch on the strong side, but
it didn't really make me as strong as
the photo, which was not edited,

seems to suggest.

Yeah, I'm barely able to hold up the iced coffee so early in the morning but that doesn't mean I'm a total basket case. I have pride, a sense of humor and a way with words. God bless me! I need it!

The photo gives the impression that I could fight monsters bigger than buildings, though the cup is very small compared to and a number of feet below that big Jack in the Box sign which has the appearance of a pretty, giant cube. At least if you are like me and you have a thing for fast-food signs.


Anyway, monsters?? Oh, I'm scared! I'm not joking now because I didn't write "haha" and, even though I don't believe there are monsters out there somewhere that want to fight me, I wouldn't want them to think I was laughing at them, if there were monsters, that is. Besides, if I saw such a monster, I'd be the first one out of the restaurant. But they better not get near my iced coffee.

I do like Jack in the Box's iced coffee. The first time I drank it was the best, although I would have to say the most recent time I had their iced coffee (not pictured), it also tasted great! Creamy, slightly sweet, smooth and not bitter, I felt it was nearly as good as McDonald's iced coffee, though somewhat different in flavor.


The pictured iced coffee was from another Jack in the Box restaurant. I sensed the coffee was freshly brewed but wasn't creamy enough or thoroughly stirred in and the flavor was alright but it wasn't very sweet. Like I already pointed out, I stirred in sugar and half and half. Then the iced coffee was the way I like it.

In my opinion, McDonald's still has the best iced coffee in flavor and consistency. I'll keep trying other iced coffees, and see what I think.

Famous brand soda-flavored cake, plus citrus pucker power!


I bought this 7 UP Lemon Lime Creme Cake
and some kumquats at the grocery store. I wrote
about the dessert last time.

The cake was a bit dry, not moist enough, though it was flavorful. I added small, thin pieces of pineapple, finely chopped kumquats and citrus fruit juices, and it became a yummy dessert. I already had the Moro orange (also known as a blood orange), larger pieces of fresh pineapple and the lime in the refrigerator.

Speaking of the fridge, that's where I'm going right now.

Looks like a very elegant dessert for a picnic in paradise...


even though this was just my way
of having some creative fun with food
on Friday evening.

The cake was from the grocery store. I decorated it
with pineapple, kumquats, and the juice of
a lime and a Moro orange, and powdered sugar on top. Also,
those are thin lime slices, which kinda look like cute little green wheels. The cake was not moist enough, so I feel the fruit and fruit juice really helped improve the quality of the dessert.

I shared with my folks and they said they liked it. I'm
glad they said that, because then I can say they said it and of course
it makes me look good.

My other final paragraph, which I decided to add back went something like: Even if beauties dressed for the beach, which wouldn't be over-dressed, of course, had stopped by for a bite to eat, I would have had to say: NO! Because now I'm just saying No to temptation. Umm... until next Friday, anyway. haha

Ok, just a question: Did anybody give up kissing and hugging for Lent? I thought not. Well, if you're not getting any, like me lately, you can't give it up. Ooh I'm so funny! My eyes just did that dance from side to side, like way too silly for description.

Anyway, I want to give up NOT kissing and hugging but it doesn't have anything to do with religion. However, it would be cool to find a single, available church girl, or two, in their (I mean her) 20's to 40's, who also want (yeah, "wants", she wants) to give up not kissing and hugging. I still have a goofy expression on my face. Now I must go in search of fast food. Who knows, maybe I'll even see you out there somewhere, but I doubt it. Stay cool. See ya later!

I don't eat fast food all the time


Before noon Sunday, I started to peel, slice
and grate vegetables, then cooked this Borshch, which is full of
vegetables but no meat, the way I was taught
many borshchs ago. Beetroot, carrots, cabbage and potatoes are some of the fresh ingredients.
