Ambrosia Sushi – Key West

Tonight for dinner I decided to check out Ambrosia located here in Key West. It’s a sushi restaurant inside the Santa Maria hotel off Simonton St. and South St. I will tell you to make reservation if you do not want to sit at the bar. It seems to be a very popular place to eat. I started off with Miso soup and was delighted for find that they add mushrooms to it as well as the traditional tofu and seaweed.

One of my favorite rolls to eat is the Shrimp Tempura. I decided to try theirs and see how it would compare to sushi places back in Chicago. I am happy to report that these guys know what they are doing and the roll just might have been better than the ones at home. The shrimp was fresh, the masago was in there and also the avocado.

Next I decided to try the Chef Sashimi Sampler and they hit it out of the park just with presentation alone.

Overall I would recommend this place. Great find off Duval St. Sometimes it can get a little overwhelming with the large amount of restaurants on this tiny island. I have tried quite a few but still have many on my list.

As always, Peace – LOVE and Tweeting!

Scrub Daddy

I am a huge fan of the show Shark Tank and this was the first product I have actually purchased since watching the show. So why the Scrub Daddy you ask … Well I am constantly throwing away sponges because they smell, get destroyed or god knows what else! So after a week of scrubbing EVERYTHING in my house this thing looks pretty good! It even got some very old burn stains off of my favorite pan.

Scrub Daddy before and after!

You can see a few brown spots left on the sponge but that is after it’s toughest scrubbing yet! My favorite pan now has a cleaner bottom than I have seen in a very long time!

My opinions are my own and I did purchase this product myself.

Cookie Cake?

After spending what feels like all day on my computer I decided to look for something sweet to eat! I found a recipe for a Cookie Cake! Very simple just follow these instructions.

Lazy Cookie Cake:

1 box yellow or white cake mix
2 eggs beaten
5 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups M&M’s or mini chocolate chips (I only used 1 1/2 cups and it still had to much chocolate for me personally.)

Mix together, put in a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350 for 20 – 25 mins!

Nothing else required!

Before I put it in the oven!
All done!
Mmm and it was Yummy too!

The original recipe came from here.
