Day 155, That's my kind of princess.....

Finaly hopefully getting back on a semi regular posting schedule. Didn't complete a whole item but i did knock off parts of 2.

Item number 58: My Kind of princess:

The item was to go see different movies, well today I knocked off seeing a Disney/Animated/Kids and family movie. I expected The Princess and the Frog to be mediocre at best (yes the picture is blurry and yes i know my camera phone sucks so much it should be made by Hoover) but to be honest, the movie was great. The main character, Tianna, has a really awesome ultimate goal of opening a restaurant which was to help honor her dad who she adored. In between growing up with her best friend, working 2 jobs to save money, missing out on life, kissing a frog and finaly wishing upon a store, she meets some awesome comical friends, never loses sight of her dream oh and falls in love with a mucus covered prince with an awesome soundtrack and villian. Minus the whole main character being a poor girl from New Orleans, it's like they read my mind of my dreams.....except I want a pastry shop and not a southern food restaurant. This may very well shockingly get into my top 5 Disney movies.

Item number 10, Eat at 5 new restaurants. This time it was Limp Lizard Take-out BBQ, and even though I've had their catering once, this was the actual restaurant. I wish I had taken a picture of the food because man is this place awesome. Yes I am saying this, the lizard is far better then the dinosaur!!! I had the beef brisket sandwich with the baked beans and jalapeño corn bread. First off the beef was so nice and tender and tasted as good as north syracuse smelled. The beans are an awesome side and their corn bread is great minus the occasional stray hard kernel. The next day i had a bite of Kristen's left over Chicken Philly......man even cold this was hands down the best chicken philly. I will be eating at this place alot....maybe next time it's the Chili..mmmmm

Hi Steve! Caroline from the Philadelphia Tourism office here. I'm not sure if your "chicken Philly" or your goal #16 made the Google alert that sent me to your blog, but either way, glad to see you plan to visit Philadelphia. I DO hope you get to experience more than just cheesesteaks though!

Good luck with your goals.
Caroline

Thank you so much Caroline. I have been to Philly once before for a Phillies game. This trip is intended for cheese steaks only....ok i hear you have phenomenal pretzels as well so maybe one of those as well. If you'd like to email me at steveofspades@gmail.com I can let you know when this trip happens if you don't follow the blog.

Here's your #85 (unless someone beat me to it). I thought this was so interesting that I decided to start my own! I still have to build my list, but the blog is there, and I can't wait to get started. :) http://lauras101.wordpress.com/
