Fast food, part deux.
Breakfast.
Chick-fil-A breakfast.
This is my ultimate weakness. I would run to Chick-fil-A after getting out of class at 10:15 to make it before breakfast ended. And then I would stall around on campus after my 7:30 AM class to justify staying for breakfast. Seriously, if it wasn't for Chick-fil-A, I'd probably be vegetarian.
Now, don't get me wrong, these homemade biscuits won't totally satiate my craving. But, they are pretty darn close to the original. As close as human hands can get (God makes actual Chick-fil-A. Why do you think it's closed on Sunday? He wants you elsewhere.)
These were pretty darn tasty.

Fast food.
Yesterday, Brent and I walked into Barnes and Noble, innocently bored and desperate for some creative inspiration. Little did we know that our lives would change forever. I give you THE GREATEST COOKBOOK EVER:
The greatest cookbook ever.
Basically, the premise of this book is recreating fast food favorites at home. zomg #1: the recipes are significantly healthier than their drive-thru counterparts. zomg #2: the recipes are really cheap and really simple. I'M IN LOVE.
Tonight, we ate like true Americans with McDonald's french fries and Wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches. Brent went classic lettuce and tomato (with homemade Papa John's barbeque sauce), I opted for my favorite of American cheese and spicy ranch.
It was amazing. AMAZING. And the best part is that the recipe was super non-fattening and non-fried. There was just 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the entire meal. Did I mention that this is amazing?
So next time you want a Double-Double, Big Mac, Frappachino, or Chicken Biscuit, make it yourself. Or, gosh darn it, get me to make it for you. I promise it'll be even better than Grease-o Chain of Heart Attacks.
Central Park Celebration.
Today is a holiday that people feel compelled to celebrate up there with Christmas, and for some reason businesses close. We went to the Winter Park Central Park celebration, which was fraught with free hot dogs and watermelon. It was fun. I don't dislike Independence Day, I just think that waving flags and eating watermelon is a poor way to pay homage to your country.
ANYWAY. Here are some horses from the wagon rides:
