Under the Boardwalk...

Tuesday:
basic breakfast, sat on porch-reading, went to the beach, made chicken parm at night

Wed.:
Donut Day at fractured prune, inside day, porch time, slept

Thursday:
Boardwalk -
Pizza Challenge: Tony's claims the best, Dough Roller def won
Dough Roller: sweet staff, got Pepperoni and mushroom. Mushrooms were kinda bland, but pepperoni was good, good grease and awesome crust
Tonys: too greasy, bad pepperoni, but staff was nice enough to give an extra slide because we would ahve to wait for the cheese

Fried Oreos: Highlight of the trip! Awesomeness. Gooey, comes with 5, covered in powdered sugar, and totally worth every signle of the ten thousand calories...must try the fried cheesecake bites next time

Carmel popcorm controversy: There are about 4-5 places to get popcorn, but I selected Fisher's mainly because it takes up an ENTIRE block on the Boardwalk, but also because when you glance by you realize there are about 30 workers, all busy, a line around the corner, AND they open at 9:30 in the morning. The next point is that this must be a good place if there is a necessity to have this place open and ready to go at 9:30 in the freaking morning!
Result: It was aweomse, gooey, well done caramel and still a little soft. Perfect. And it kept for the whole day.

Down-side: it was expensive, and you couldn't get a tin unless you got the enormous amount.
Next time try the white cheddar

Wockenfuss: Ryan's german chocolate shop
It was pretty good of a chocolate shop seeing as my standards are extremely high for chocolate considering my mom.
What we got:
Swedish jellies were awesome, but its hard to go wrong with those, but the swedish fish are as they should be
Chocolate pieces: average and pretty good considering the candy stores in the area. Chocolate cherry cordials were nothing to write home about, but the chocolate covered honey comb was pretty special and really good: sweet and melted but not too sweet. Another surprise was the chocolate coconut which was awesome and clearly made with real coconut. Also dark chocolate almond bark was really good. Ry said the PB cups were good, but again, must just trust him opinion.
Ryan digs the licorice pieces and the twists, but I'm not an anise fan so I have to just take his word on it.
Bonus: Had a great selection of sugar-free truffles and chocolate for my mom, which was very exciting. TBD how they actually are

Crab shacking: We were actually looking for Coins because all the online reviews stated it was the best of the OC, but it turns out it no longer exists. We think it was turned into Bootys, but couldn't be sure. After 3-4 times driving down the street and 8pm, we gave up and just went to Higgins. I had the softshell crab sandwich, which was a a little disappointing. The sandwich was on plain white bread, the tartar sauce was average and the crab was small. Not worth the price. Ryan got tuna steak which was excellent, a bit spicy and well done. We looked around the crabs which seemed decent in size and the all you can eat seemed like a good idea, but the atmosphere was a little lacking. It could be the hour of the night or the fact we weren't really in the mood to be out, but either way, not the best it could ahve been, but it had the benefit f existing, so it beat Coins, and they had my Bud Light Lime, so couldn't complain.
Next time: Would really like to try Phillips because it has the coolest building and though probably the most expensive choice, seems like it might be worth it. Also, want to try Crabcake Factory USA, on the upper side of town.

Friday:
Went to the pool, had an awesome pina colada and kick-ass cheese fries, and Ryan loved his Goombay smash (though he believes it was watered down)

Made sauteed veggies and hot chicken fingers for dinner. It was perfect.
