MHM FAST FOOD

There are a variety of different cuisines available to us, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Thai and a lot of others. Knowing a girl like me I love all of them. Scratch that, I love food in general. However, I would specifically like to talk about fast food. Everyone has their weakness and occasional cravings for the unhealthy yumminess. I have learned though that the place to get food is different for every person and there are factors as to why we choose the place we do. For some it is because of where you are from or what you grew up with, for other it is purely based on what you like and what you think tastes the best. There are just so many options to choose from when going out. Wendy's, Taco Bell, Arby's, and Five Guys are just a few examples. On that note I will share my top three favorite fast food restaurants.

1. Wendy's
Okay, almost everyday either in class or at lacrosse practice the number six crossed my mind. For those of you who have never been a number six is a spicy chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. Looking back now it is probably not the best choice to eat it but I look forward to road trips and the days I just don't care. I'll just say it now the sandwich is my guilty pleasure, it's the best.

2. Chick-Fil-A
Ugh, this place is also a good time. For some people it isn' their favorite because it is more of an east coast thing (even though they are everywhere). Fried chicken, sweet tea, pickles and waffle fries are all necessities. After a hard fast paced lacrosse game Chick-Fil-A is where it is at. If I am ever not feeling it or not wanting to push myself I have to see the bright side, some nice fried chicken and sweet tea.

3. In and Out
For those of us who live in the great state of Utah are lucky enough to experience In and Out Burger. In Park City there is not o
ne in sight but if you are brave enough to venture down to Farmington or a nice day in Herriman sure enough there is at least one every two blocks. Honestly I am grateful because then I can look forward to the trip. A double cheese burger, fries and a shake is my order.

On that note, yes I love fast food and have been to plenty of places, there is also a list of places I haven't been. Being in a family I am told what not to eat and Taco Bell is on the list. You are probably wondering why it is a no. Well, being 100% honest I have no clue why I am not aloud to go and it sort of bothers me because tacos are my favorite food. I guess I'll just have to be a rule breaker and try it. Anyways, I love food which is obvious and I  have said it before but I thought it might be nice to share my favorite places.

SUMMER

Yes, Summer is the highlight of every year that I have been alive. Even when I was little and nieve Summer was the most fun time for me. Also I am pretty sure that if you ask around more than 90% of kids will say that they live for Summer, I mean unless you are a skier and only like snow. Not only do I like Summer because I am stuck in Park City where it is cold most of the year but I strive for the heat. Not only do I like the heat but there is a never ending list if reasons why Summer is my favorite. I have tried to narrow it down to some of the best reasons along with a memory for each reason. I mean Summer is the time to make memories.

1. Late Nights

For me the best part about Summer is staying up until your eyes can't stay open. I don't know what it is about the night but I love it. If you are weird like me then you are a giant ball of energy during the night. It could be a train wreck but I keep my S%*@ together. One fairly recent memory of a late summer night was when I went out to dinner, desert, then slept over at a friends. We went to dinner at my parents restaurant and stayed two hours after dinner was finished then walked in the dark to get frozen yogurt. After walking back to Blind Dog four of us pied into the two back seats of dad's jeep and headed back to the house. From there we stayed up, listening to music and laughing then I went to my friends and we slept in hammocks tied in the tree is her backyard.


2. Sleeping In 

Sleeping in the next morning is usually followed by the late night you had before. Yeah, yeah being up early makes you feel good and all but Ive got to be honest I don't care. Getting up at one, eating lunch, and then going back to having fun is the way to go. I mean if you have things to do and want to accomplish something then be my guest and get up early. One memory that I am going to share isn't a memory because it happened once and was special, but because it happened more than once. During the summer I would sleep in until noon, eat some breakfast then head out on the boat come back home and stay up late with my friends. Most of the time though I don't even need to stay up late in order to sleep in.

3. Midst of the heat

Some may think the heat isn't enjoyable because you sweat, get hot, and think your going to die. Me on the other hand, I strive for the heat. I have only had one bad experience with the summer heat and lucky enough I'll tell you. It was two years ago, in the middle of July and I was in Virginia looking at the boarding school. It was 110 degree and there were no clouds in sight and I was standing like an idiot, sweating like a pig trying to pay attention. I thought for a minute that I may actually die from over heating but I survived. 

4. Bonfires

Part of the Summer experience is having or going to a bonfire. The four months of freedom we have wouldn't be complete if not going to one. One of the best times I have ever had was around a bonfire. Wether you are sitting around one underneath the stars camping or sitting in your backyard with your neighbors, the fire creates memories. Over the Summer while I was camping with family friends in the Uintas we made a huge fire and sat around it and ate hotdogs and looked at the stars. Nights like that are the best nights to have.

5. The food..

YASSSS.... Food is what my life revolves around. If I made a list of the foods that I like to enjoy during the summer it would stretch across the state of California. From drinks to desert I like it all. Watermelon, popsicles, and BLTs are all great in the heat but my heart is taken when it comes to Italian subs and soft serve ice cream. When I go back east to visit my family I grab an Italian sub head to the
beach and when I can't take the heat anymore I get a soft serve and go back to the house. It's pretty great and the life to live.

Anyways, I am pretty much just day dreaming about Summer already and we are only half way through the school year. Whoop whoop yay school!
