Pomegranate on Transit

·

The food is totally amazing. I had saffron and lentil rice with grilled chicken thigh. We also had this amazing dill and Lima bean rice. I would go back any day. I wish there was one downtown.

Akron Falls Park

·

Total waste of time. You can't go near the water, no swimming, the water stinks anyways. The guys who went near the water in my photo got yelled at from above by loud speakers saying they were tresspassing.

Its pretty to look at but that's it. Just imagine if thr stank ass hoyt lake water went over a a waterfall.

The town there seems so country. We stopped in the Shur Fine and it felt like stepping into South Carolina.

Buffalo Athletic Club

·

This second year of my scam contract I am trying to actually go. Last year our membership amounted to about $100 per visit based on the few visits we made.

I hate going so much. The worst part is the music. Even my headphones can't drown it out. That and the loud people and grunters. When we go there is always this family of people working out where the father is screaming at the kids.

I miss the old gym so much. When this is over I think I am just going to go with some home equipment.

Papaya on Chippewa

·

The food there is so good. Last night @YesThatCasey and I ate there for dinner. I had the seafood Pad Thai for dinner and a peanut butter creme brule dessert that was amazing.

Cloudberries

·

I had the best dream about food ever. It was about cloudberries. Unfortunately, they are not real. Well there are in fact cloudberries but not the delicious marshmallow/bread like pod ones I envisioned in my dream.

They were so amazing. Basically a long pod like a peapod but larger that had a brown husk. Inside of it were the cloudberries like peas in a pod, but longer like beans and fluffier. Each one was the consistency of a only slightly stale easter peep with a yellow/brownish colored surface that resembled perfectly baked bread. They had the most delicate sweet flavor with a hint of vanilla.

In the dream we were caught by authorities for stealing some wild cloudberries which was illegal because they were supposedly endangered. As I walked away from the ranger, I saw him eating the stash he confiscated from me. I confronted him and told him I thought he was just trying to scare me away so he could eat them all. He agreed and laughed.

Nightime Bike Ride

·

Its nice to be able to bike ride at nighttime with a tee-shirt on and not be freezing. However, I was getting tired of all the bugs that wanted to fly in my mouth and my nose.

O3 on elmwood

·

Finally went to O3 on elmwood. The food was delicious albeit slightly pricier than my usual lunch spots. In turn you get some really fresh organic food.

Unforunatly, I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my entre. I got the Italian tuna wrap with capers. It was so good and came with some yummy blue corn chips. We also got a house salad. @terry got a Baja chicken wrap special.

On the way out I got some honey fig chocolate truffles and a chocolate chip cookie to go as dessert.

I would totally go back.
