Hanging out in Fort Worth

So, I'm now in Fort Worth texas, living on [livejournal.com profile] sandchigger couch. He has seven cats, and his girlfriend has two dogs, and they're all currently sharing the living room with me. Intense, but fun.

Today I've been to a real American mall, bought a pair of shoes (I know I can't really afford it, but what the heck) and eaten a caramelized apple. Good old-fashioned American things! Tomorrow I will do the tourist thing and check out downtown Fort Worth. It will be awesome!

This icon is called "interesting day"

I'm glad you reported in. I was giving you one more day before calling you. *is a worrier*

Glad you're still having a fantastic time!

My computer broke down so internet has been even more difficult to get a hold of. *hugs you* I'm glad I qualify for your worrying...but I'm still having an awesome time! :)

It's not "all American" unless it's too greasy to consume. XD

I love all-american things...I wish I had the metabolism of a bat (has to eat 50 times its own body weight each day)!

Omg nooooo!! I'm not going to be in Dallas/Fort Worth for another week :(. Looks like we'll miss each other on this leg, though at least we got to see each other at Comic-Con, even if it was just briefly :(

It's a comfy couch, innit? :)

American cuisine

Any other American foods you wish to try and haven't yet? I am curious as too what you have heard of and what might surprise you.

So far I've tried:

+Pigs in a blanket
+American pancakes
+caramelized apples
+hash browns
+American pizza
+donut

I wanna try:

+That thing where they fry ice cream
+Those deep fried onions that look like flowers or something
+Eating at the Olive garden
+Buy a box of donuts just so I can carry the pink box with me, and can try different kinds of donuts, not just the chocolate covered one
+I wanna try that cajun thing where they stuff a chicken in a duck in a turkey and fry it all up, or something like that. It sounds positively horrendous, but in a delicious way!

I am surprised that you haven't tried a deep fried twinkie. That sound like it would fit right in on this list. Have you ever had one?
