Late last week I picked up a half-gallon of Blue Bell Caramel Turtle Cheesecake. Blue Bell brought this flavor out of retirement after conducting a contest online last year where members of their club could vote for a retired flavor to make a comeback. I didn’t vote for Caramel Turtle Cheesecake, but I decided to try it out when I spotted it at Publix.

I took a ride over to Lenny’s Sub Shop to try to satisfy another Philly Cheesesteak craving. Lenny’s is on the corner of 6th and Thomasville Road. I suggest approaching from 6th rather than making a left from Thomasville Road if you’re headed there. When I entered, friendly employees greeted me. I took a moment to review the menu and decided to go with the #11 Philly Cheesesteak straight up with a bag of Lenny’s Baked BBQ Chips and a drink.

Sure, it might not look like much on a plate, but Jersey Mike’s Famous Philly has good bread, tasty meat and some awesome cheese sauce. It’s very good.

About one week ago, I finally tried Jersey Mike’s Subs for the first time. I took a short trip over to their new location at 3122 Mahan Drive, walked up to the counter and placed a To-Go order for a #17 Jersey Mike’s Famous Philly and a #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak. I went with the regular size on both subs, since the biggest one looked like it was huge based on the size of the bread. About ten minutes later I was ready to hit the road with my order.

I love getting an email about of the blue asking me to test a product, especially when that product is chocolate cupcake mix and chocolate buttercream frosting. On Saturday, I took a box of Ready. Set. Cupcake batter and frosting out of my freezer and got working on baking a dozen cupcakes for my wife, my mother-in-law and me to enjoy. Ready. Set. Cupcake! promises all natural ingredients and very minimal cleanup. It’s frozen and in piping bags, so there’s no mess to clean up.
