Little Rock, Arkansas - Chi's Chinese Express

                  Hey everyone! I haven't done a restaurant review in a while, so here we go! I went a few weeks ago to a Chinese restaurant in Chenal, called Chi's Chinese Express.There is no website, but this UrbanSpoon link has the address for their location, and this Sync Weekly post mentions another location on Shackleford Drive.
       The interior of the diner is simple, and has all the basic amenities needed for a food establishment. It was styled very simply, and reminded me of an industrial cafeteria setting, somewhat. My brother took me on a day when my appetite wasn't very big, so I ordered a side dish; it was shrimp with crab sauce and sliced wonton, I think. (Which I do recommend; it was light and held me up for a few hours without upsetting my stomach.) The place is not something for a date, or fancy get together, but Chi's does have a big and hearty menu of lo mien, dumplings, and other common Chinese take out for when you're hungry. Be advised though, it's made to go, so the preparation will take some 10-20 minutes depending on what you are ordering.

Am not sure what it's for ~

                                                                               

                                                                                  

                                                                                

                                                                          

                                                                                

Holiday Halloween Peeps~

     Hey guys! Once again, I'm too lazy and tired to make a long post, about much of anything really, so I found the perfect thing to talk about,haha!
           So how many of you have eaten Peeps marshmallows? They are typically known for their marshmallow chicks that come out around Easter time, but they expanded to get all the major holidays in the U.S.A, lol. If you don't know what they are, here is their website. They also have a search engine on their site to see where you can purchase their products, which is a handy thing I'm noticing alot of food and beverage sites are doing. XD
           So, for a way overdue post, this was to show my discovery of their Halloween chocolate marshmallow treats, with orange colored marshmallow inside! I thought it was cute and quirky, and didn't taste bad at all! (If you have a sweet tooth like me, that is!) So here is some photos I took around Halloween of it~

                                                                              

                                                                                

                                                                                 

Boylan Soda

 Hey everyone! Today's post will be a short one, since I don't feel like writing much. If you'll look at this post, you'll see I was talking about a vintage soda brand sold in New York. Well, it looks like there are other similar brands of vintage bottle sodas, and the latest one I discovered is called Boylan Soda. (Their website is here.) Boylan soda takes pride in their brand for using pure cane sugar, and for having a natural version of their sodas available, with no preservatives and such. They also sell birch beers, and seltzers, with a beer recipe used from the founder in 1891. The website has a search so you can see where you can purchase it in your area.~ So if you're like me, and like trying flavored soda in vintage soda bottles, go give it a try!

                                                                               

                                                                                 

A Quick Post on Cross Stitching

            Hey everyone! I've been a bit stressed from school lately, and I think a blog post is in order! So how many of you like to cross stitch or do other forms of embroidery? I taught myself sometime back in grade school, and do it every so often now~ Cross stitching is probably the easiest form of embroidery you can do, but it is time consuming, and you have to have a good eye; one wrong stitch might result in taking out multiple stitches!

           Now, there are many different companies that sell embroidery items, and I bought a few from this Chinese company here, which I recommend; KS+ Art Hobby . I'm not sure on where you can purchase their items online, but I found their items in New York, in the Brooklyn Chinatown area. It was around 7th avenue, I think, in a small mall, with the shop located all the way in the back. They only stock this brand, and the unique thing I noticed was that all the items seemed to be cross stitching only.

                Over time, I will be showing some of my completed works on cross stitching, and other forms of embroidery as well. I will also talk about other companies that deal with this sort of thing; I think it's nice for people to try something new, since it's not something many people do anymore~
Well, that's all for now, have a good night!

Nancy's Deli Spirals

      A Happy Belated New Year's to everyone! How is your New Year's going? This past month flew by so fast, and I'm thinking it's still December,lol. Well, in any case, a post is in order, and I have a few new goodies to share here and there! ( Which I will post as soon as I get a new adapter; mine just broke. :p)

      Anyways, today I have a story to tell, which is related to the title, so bare with me.:p So a few years ago, my high school had a silent auction which I attended, and some of the ladies brought in some deli spirals. That was my first time trying them, and I fell in love with the taste. My mother asked where we could get it, and they said they bought it at Sam's Club. Fast forward to a few months ago; my mother finally found it and bought it to try at home. They were all gone in less than a week,haha! So this brand, Nancy's Deli Spirals is one that I recommend! If you want to try them, they're in the frozen food section; just thaw it out and eat!
