One of the best things about the end of the summer is that ripe plantains are all over the stores.

Recent Wawa Adventures
Wawa is a well known food mart which also sells fuel. Apparently, they are very common in some states/areas, but it wasn’t until this summer that our town had a couple locations premiere.
I personally love the place. It’s very entertaining to see everything neatly placed in the store. Everything is so organized – I love when stores are so visually appealing. With that, however, comes a consequence – overindulgence.
We stopped by tonight for a snack and I came out with something I didn’t plan on consuming – at all.
I wanted a Butterscotch TastyKake Krimpet cake (very delicious with milk), but after staring at all the labels and seeing the crazy calories I opted for a cup of soup instead. It may have still been a high calorie choice, but not as bad or as sweet as a cake.
Another cool thing about this place is the center of the store has this window area – behind the window is where the employees make your food. You can see everything.
My husband always gets a smoothie – strawberry, but usually banana related. Last night it was a banana smoothie. They are good.
The picture I took of my soup came out very blurry so I’m providing the Wawa photo from their site here (it’s the upper left bowl):
The soup reminded me of the Broccoli cheese from Quizno’s – I swear whatever they do (or buy premade) has to be from the same company. It tastes exactly the same – and it’s my favorite. The part that Wawa tops Quizno’s on is the buttered roll option. The bread goes perfect with the soup.
The last time I got hot food from Wawa was on Nov. 10th (Saturday night). It was the first time I tried their chicken strips and I really liked them (though they are deep fried and probably not even real chicken). Either way, they were good.

Eggs, bacon and toast
In our house, eggs and toast is the regular breakfast item. This is why I will not bore you with daily posts on what I eat in the morning. But just to have the example logged – so here it is.
I prefer my eggs over-easy (fried in butter), but occasionally we have them as an omelette or scrambled to mix it up. My daughter prefers her eggs scrambled so when she’s not having cereal or Farina I’ll make her eggs like this. I have no idea what my husband prefers for eggs because if I ever ask he’ll just say he’s happy with whatever I want that morning lol.
I had my breakfast with sweet tea (the Sweet Leaf tea I mentioned in an earlier post). By the time breakfast was done, I had already drank my first cup of coffee.
