Friday night my 15 year old sister got to join in on the quest a little bit. We went to Taco Bell for supper and had some nachoes with jalapenos on them! My most recent memory of having jalapenos is when I had some nachoes at the local Wal-Mart with my dad as a kid, and he tricked me saying that they were pickles. Me being young and naive, believed him and I swallowed them with pride as my face was beating red from the heat.
Still hot as ever, I must say. I don't think that my taste buds, mouth or tummy likes spicy food at all. I must say that Katie enjoyed them much more than I did. I only survived through with extra cheese and meat trying to drown out the spark in my mouth.
Saturday, I was excited enough to get to try a few new things. One of them being a beverage, which I haven't done yet on my quest. I thought it would be really cool to try Wine, and no I don't mean like a little taste at communion service at church. I meant a glass, or two. I have heard that wine is an acquired taste, and you have to drink a lot of different wines to know the differences. Well I wasn't on an adventure to try all kinds but I did have a glass of one particular kind. Now is wine like vodka? The cheap stuff tastes nasty? Because I honestly didn't see the beauty in the arbor mist chardonnay that we were drinking.
I also got the chance to try a deliciously amazing cupcake! Don't think that I am only trying foods that I thought I wouldn't ever like, or have bad thoughts about. My quest goes much deeper than that. The fact of the matter is, I need to try new and different things! So I did. We went to the new cupcake shop on main in Ames, and well, the typical me would have gotten something chocolate. Instead, I got a pink champagne cupcake with a kiwi frosting. Oh my, was it so good. If you haven't been, I suggest you swing through there sometime!! They have the most interesting flavors of cupcakes from Samuel Adams, to fall harvest, red velvet and peanut butter chocolate!
Must go there again! =D
