Sweet Pepper's Deli

On Friday, the 3rd, I went to see the Total Recall remake. It was pretty good, but as usual for my movie going, I had a corn dog and a frozen coke for lunch. No pic, too many people to potentially annoy with a flash picture in the auditorium. The corn dog was pretty good, flavor wise, but it looked pretty bad. Not the best cooking job on it. The frozen coke was merely ok, it didn't have enough syrup in the mix, kind of bland.

For dinner, I met with the gang to try out Sweet Pepper's Deli in Olive Branch. It's kind of like McAlister's, but I liked it a lot better. I went with their Blitz sandwich, minus cheese, a cup of potato soup and a chocolate chunk cookie:

This is the regular size sandwich (on white) that you could also get in a large. They either nuke or steam it, either way the bread is warm and the meat (beef, turkey and ham) was hot and moist and extremely tasty. The soup had a good flavor, it was a little light on potato chunks, but the ones in there were well cooked and the bacon pieces were tasty. The cookie was pretty good, I probably won't get it again, but not because it was a disappointment. If you're a cookie fan, you'll definitely like them, I'd think.

Celebratory Saturday

Saturday night was a night for celebration. My friends, who run the @peachgrenade twitter account (an account which they make jokes) surpassed 2000 followers. In celebration, we hit up a local Mexican join (Casa Mexicana, different location than the one I had the pork tacos at a couple of weeks ago) and then a cake and some cookies.

For dinner, I went with a beef burrito and some beef nachos (minus the cheese), to which I added some of the salsa they provide for the chips:

The sauce for the burrito, as you may surmise, was a bit much. If it had been drizzled on top, instead of swimming in it, it would've been much better. It was simply a case of too much of a good thing. The nachos were very good though, and as you might can guess, I forgot to get a pic of them when they first got delivered.

As for the cake and cookies, I'll provide a pic of them, even though I was too full to partake, but I thought about it a lot:
