The Cuban Sandwhich… with dessert.

Lately, I’ve been on a culinary expedition of my own, trying various things, I never would have given a second glance before. My last birthday gave me an oppurtunity to try something that I may encounter again in the oh so near future, Escargot. Translation, snail.
Snail? One may ask. Why would you ever want to eat something so slimy, so absolutely disgusting (notice that the person has never tried it themselves), and so… so… weird! Well, because it’s good! Snail doesn’t have much taste alone, what you’re really tasting is the sauce, flavoring, whichever name you wish to place on this positively magnificent taste. For me, it was garlic butter, and some other various French spices. My rating, for this usually wrongly despised dish? Great! Don’t go based off it’s looks, sometimes the most disgusting looking dish, can be the most amazing in flavor.

Today, I had a Cuban Sandwhich, which tasted mostly of pork, pickles, and mustard. With the first bite, the pork was what stood out as the prominent flavor, complimented by the bit of mustard, bread, and other additions. Although the numerous pickles, and massive layer of mustard may have been quite overwhelming in some aspects, I actually quite enjoyed it.

After my daring expedition with the Cuban Sandwhich, I had Dutch Apple Cheesecake for dessert. As cheesecake is a favorite of mine, I am quite biast in my rating, so I won’t even bother. All I’ll say is, to me, cheesecake is one of the best desserts around. Especially if you can handle those rich flavors, and, it’s always a plus if you enjoy them too.

Those are, in short, the highlights of my Saturday. I’m looking forward to the cuisine, landscape, and oppurtunities, that France will offer me, early next year.

City Life

The mountain towers above the landscape, a beauty to behold. A distant sunset of orange, pink, and crimson, complimented by the blue surroundings of the mountainous countryside. My Gmail account. In reality, life in this part of Nebraska is much different. Nice, scenic neighborhoods, but nothing overly unique to mark this place as a world tourist attraction. I wake up late, and after reading for awhile, am aroused by the smell of hot, fresh, cinnamon rolls. Oh the humanity… the usual Saturday cartoons, the Travel Channel specials, and History’s end of the world, is what television brings to the table. Cartoons, outgrown. I venture into a new episode of Anthony Bourdain’s, No Reservations. That is what I call, a lazy Saturday morning.

The straight, and simple facts, are these: Nebraska is home to two large, and well known cities, Lincoln, and Omaha. Omaha being the largest city in the state, and holding various national headquarters, as the beloved, Godfather’s Pizza, Lincoln has it’s own companies as well, and is the state’s capital. A majority of the state is dedicated to growing corn, soybeans, and various other agricultural products.

Book Update

Here’s tonight’s "progress-check" of my book…

The Christian Light and Worldly Darkness

The Christian Light and Worldly Darkness

Conveyed by God

Many times, High Schoolers want to do what’s cool, and popular, in short, what everyone else is doing. And today, what’s cool is not necessarily what’s right. Time and time again, teenagers fall into sin, because everyone else is committing sin. Christians, and non-Christians alike, face something that is commonly referred to as: Peer Pressure.

Now, I’m sure you’ve all been told about peer pressure, but this will go beyond peer pressure.

/// God is great. He’s a father who looks down upon us with love, and for those of you who’ve seen the Louie Giglio video “How Great is Our God,” you’ll know he’s definitely a big God too! I really loved that video, so, I’m going to quote it for those of you who haven’t, or don’t remember, seeing it. God is huge, so we got that point down, now what’s this have to do with peer pressure? We’ll get to that in a minute. “If the earth were the size of a golf ball, the son would be 15 feet in diameter… enough to fill a school bus with golf balls.”\

Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

A New Post, The Same Day

Three in one, most I’ve done this week.
Someone who read my previous post had a comment for me:

“xD
Wait, so your accually ditching your novel and turning it into a love poem? O_o o_O” -Commentator

Disregarding *”accually,” I shall answer this question as best as I can. No, I do not plan on ditching my novel, not at all. The last post was about a poem I had written for English class at school, a love poem, unlike any “writing feat” I have undertaken. The love poem, and novel, are two seperate entities entirely.

*(“actually”  “you’re” I’ve developed a sense of grammar and spelling to the point where I want to correct any errors I see… that’s what comes from working on, revising, and most recently, adding the finishing touches and finale the same novel for three years. For me personally, that is.)

And another picture of Ireland… or rather, something in Ireland.

It is time once again…

…to resume my language education, but first, a picture of Ireland Countryside, or shall I say roadside, for those interested.

The Status Reads…

I once again ventured into unknown territory with my writing. It started with the mystery novel, now I have written my first love poem. Love poem!?!? One may ask. Yes, a love poem. We were writing sonnets, a form of poetry, about emotions. Moreover, since virtually all the examples were of love, that’s what I thought of to write.

This event took place yesterday, so now I shall bring more current, present matters. Today in Drama Class, we did a run through of a large portion of the play, with blocking. And after the little kids rushed into the cafeteria… well, not exactly rushed, (I can’t even remember there being many little kids…) but they would be there soon! We returned to the classroom… where we did more blocking! Jolly day.

Finally back…

I’m back from the MLN-Ligers, back from school, and back from my book,(???) onto my WordPress blog!

I shall start off with a bit of reminiscing over the blogging during my leave:

on Mon 21 Sep 2009 – 0:51

Well, I’m hoping today will be a writing day for me. A chance to finish typing up my story. Crank up the Contemporary Christian music on K-Love and open up the good ole’ “Complete and Final Manuscript” word document.

on Mon 21 Sep 2009 – 7:33

A Burger King salad and creamy cheesecake, with a burrito from Taco Bell. To top it all off, a Strawberry-Mango Fruitista. Now that, mon ami, is a meal.

Off the topic of American franchise, we have the tickets for France, and details from the hotel. I shall be staying in the smallest of the three buildings… but, who cares? Cousins, Aunts, and Uncles, seem to take dominance on this occasion.

on Tue 22 Sep 2009 – 7:01

Quite a surprise, Drama Class auditions took place today. All drama students take part in the plays, and I had a part in nearly every audition. Frank, Mr. Quigley, various characters of various personalities. What part shall I get? That, mon amis, is the question.

Skipping to the most recent… 2009 10 03

Well, say goodbye to the High-5 idea… instead of that, and instead of kissing, we shall be doing… well… how to describe it… aha! Dance moves. Heh… oh fate, why must thine hand be so cruel!

*tango music plays as the curtain slides aside.*

Stay tuned for the next segment of… The Monsieur Zack Blog.

A New School, A New Book, A New Trip… and Donuts?

Going to a private Christian school this year, very different atmosphere than public school. Kids are welcoming, no cursing (or rather, very rarely), and you even have to fill out a “survey” of questions before you may enroll. Although… they do not offer French, so I’ll be continuing on Rosetta Stone.

Next piece of news, my new book! I plan on making my first publish next month, or if not, my “first copywrite.” The book I wish to be publish is centered around an “animal world” filled with mice, owls, rats… and [SPOILER WARNING!] snakes.

The new trip? To France. We’ll be leaving Nebraska in late April, close to my birthday (which is the 29th) and staying in France for a total of 2 weeks. First if Paris (for the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower) and then to the plentiful and colorful, country regions of France.

And last of all, Donuts. We discovered, this year I believe, the best donut place in Nebraska!~ What is this wonderous producer of pastries? You’ll have to figure it out for yourself! They’ve been running since 1954!

Now I must attend to some other matters… the Ligers, my French education, and finally, my novel. I really must type that up or we shall go nowhere with this…

The 5th Of April!!!

Ok, nothing really big or major about the 5th of April for me. I have Spring Break, which is one week off from high school, starting the 6th.

In other news, I  voted creation #5 on BZPower, since it’s my friend Mirrorkumaru’s creation. It was quite good, though why red elements?

I’ve been working on the MLN-Ligers, a fan-based forum:                        http://mln-ligersociety.1forum.biz/forum.htm

And I plan to make additions to my novel before publishing.

Au Reviour!
