"Coben's novels have made him rich, but that's not what's important to him. It's sales qua sales—his statistical record—that motivates Coben, rather than the money his sales bring in." — Eric Konigsberg, The Atlantic, July/August 2007

Mr. Noodle. Kimchi Beef Soup Review.

I needed a cup soup but they didn't have the Nongshim brand, the Oolongmen beef was my favourite or the Campbell's homestyle beef. So I decided to try the Mr. Noodles Kimchi Beef soup. I used to eat a lot of Mr Noodle's as a kid and when I grew up, I just stopped eating and I hated it so much. Since I had no other choice in the store I went to, I decided to try it out. I was worried Mr. Noodle would butcher the flavour with their version of the oriental dish. To my surprise it was great! It wasn't as spicy as the Nongshim Kimchi but it was spicy enough for me :). I actually burnt my tongue and mouth on it, it still hurts and it's hours later haha. So for a cup noodle I rate it 3.5/5. and for the Mr. Noodle brand I rate it 4/5. I would get it again if I couldn't purchase my other favourites.

We Are Just As Important And Valid.

Plain Baked Cheesecake Review.

Sorry I don't have the proper name for this cheesecake or the bakery name but it is a baked cheesecake. It's so good, it's light and fluffy and tastes great. Its more cake than normal cheesecake, which is still amazing but this tastes less than just a crusted wedge of cheese lol. Being lactose intolerant this didn't hurt my stomach, normal cheesecake often I struggle to digest, its often too thick and creamy for me. I rate this though 4/5.

House Of Pepper. Sweet & Sour Chicken Review.

The sweet and sour chicken actually had a few pieces of different chicken in it, the non-breaded kind I had before, I loved it! It was overall a great dish, even the rice was delicious. This is my first dish of theirs I really actually liked all round. I rate it 4/5.

I also paired it with a strawberry bubble tea with strawberry jelly, it was delicious like last time.

Tim Hortons. Italiano Grilled Bagel Review.

I rate it 1.5/5. The sauce was great and I enjoyed the toppings but the bagel itself complete ruined it....sigh.

Ask Yourself...

Look back at all the time, energy and love wasted on that one who didn't give a shit about you. Thinking about all that time and love you could've gave to someone else. Though you also look back and realize that all that bullshit you went through, got you somewhere, got you to where you are today. All you can do is ask yourself, are you happy with how things have turned out?

I Didn't Ship Them Till Now. Mcdanno. (By: Femmedplume)

The unrelenting sexual tension between this guy (Steve McGarett)

and this guy (Danny "Danno" Williams)

I mean. I don't ship them.....I DO NOT SHIP THEM.

but like...when they're nice to each other it's great but when they fight? SO REPRESSED. MUCH TENSION. JUST KISS ALREADY. WOW.

Not to mention all the flirtatious language/behaviour:

Danno to McGarrett: What are you wearing?

McGarett: to Danno: I'll think about you the whole time boo-boo (that's a conglomeration of two lines but YES he called danno boo-boo)

McGarett to Danno: *Removes shirt and or pants at any opportunity*

Danno to McGarrett: *Complains about naked partner, stares admiringly.*

McGarett to Danno: *does impressive, manly things like towing Danno back to shore in their dinghy...which requires him to take his shirt off*

Danno to McGarrett: *refuses to admit that manly and impressive McGarett is in fact manly and impressive* "Why do you have to be such a Navy Seal? What is it with Navy Seals? You're such a Navy Seal, Steven. Such a Navy Seal." *stares admiringly, as seen above*

McGarett to Danno: You look good when you clean up, babe. Nice suit/dress blues/ tux. Here, lemme fix your tie.

McGarett to Danno You're not wearing a tie! Just like I asked! *fond smile*

THE CUDDLING

Danno AND McGarett multiple times: *interrupts each other's attempts to sleep with other people*

Danno AND McGarett multiple times: Our marriage. Let's talk about our marriage. This is my partner, Daniel/Steven. We are married.

Everyone Else: So how long have you two been married?/ Hey are you talking to your wife? (When McGarett is on the phone with Danno)

I am not kidding. This is LITERALLY them, At couple's counselling. Arguing about who get's to drive.

And Danny is just so smol and angry...

And McGarett is just so tol and competent and loves his smol angry blond boy.

Ship sails it's goddamn self...man....sails it's goddamn self.

Tim Hortons. BBQ Steak Wrap Review.

The steak was good, the tomato and lettuce though threw it off. The BBQ sauce was just a basic BBQ that I didn't care much for. The peppers and cheese were the only topping that worked for me. I wouldn't buy it again though. I rate it 2.5/5.

The Turning Of My Gears.

You grind my gears but there was a time when you were a gear that helped me turn. You were a grear that helped me work and even if there were times you were a wrench jammed between the gears...I know part of you didn't mean to be.

Tim Hortons. Wild Berry Oatmeal Review.

I am a huge fan of Tim Hortons. Some though aren't as good as others though. I tried their wild berry oatmeal and it was awful. It was so dry tasting and the flavour wasn't good. I didn't care for the berries on top either. I think I will stick to my usual favourites. I rate it 1.5/5.

Dairy Queen. Strawberry Banana Split Review.

I'm lactose intolerant but I feel dairy queen is worth it. I also go for a strawberry banana split as I don't like the pineapple or the chocolate. Its worth alllll the pain, its so delicious! I rate it 5/5.

Five Guys Burgers And Fries Review.

I went to five guys and got a burger, fries and a drink. It was awfully expensive though. I love their fries (4/5) and they always give so much. The burger was really good too (4/5), kinda worth the price. I want to go again, I also want to try their hotdogs.

Quik Chik. My 1st Time. Chicken, Onion Rings & Biscuit Review.

The service is quick and the staff are polite. The store is a cute little place, it's nice and clean. The prices aren't bad compared to other chicken places and the food is amazing! It'll be replacing my KFC trips for sure! I wanted to try their gravy but maybe next time :). The chicken was so delicious I can't believe it haha the leg was probably my favourite part and I rate the chicken 5/5. The biscuit was nicer than the ones I've had before at other places (like the awful Popeyes I went to, as theirs was too dry) and I rate this biscuit 3.5/5. I decided I didn't want fries with my food so I went onion rings, my favorite ones are from Harvey's and these ones are just as good :) 5/5. I can't wait to go again! :).
