On the way home, I spotted something at the local Arby's here in Paw Paw that made me stop and immediately turn in: macaroni and cheese. I don't honestly know what it is, but holy good grief is a hot, steaming bowl of good mac and cheese just a panacea for everything that ails you.
We'd been meaning to stop for dinner anyways, so turning in, we went through the drive through and got our food- which was all hot and correctly made, even if there were a few mistakes made (no au jus for the french dip we ordered, and the bag we were given had already ripped halfway up the side because of everything stuffed inside it. I mean, really, if there's a rip that low on the bag, can you just put everything in a new bag?
But anyways... I got home and tore into that macaroni and cheese, and well... yeah, it's like three bucks a bowl, but I'd pay three bucks just for that cheese sauce. I mean, seriously, if Arby's wanted to start another nationwide craze, they'd use that white cheddar sauce they put on the macaroni, find a way to thicken it up, and pour it over some roast beef sandwiches- a white cheddar beef and cheese just sounds so good.
...what would a roast beef sandwich with a few spoonfuls of the macaroni and cheese on top taste like, I wonder...?
But yeah, if you get a chance, the macaroni is totally worth it, taste-wise. I mean, I wager my niece would love this stuff, and something on a menu a kid will eat without complaining is always a good find.
I also had a chance to have my first Jamocha shake in four years, and boy was it a shot to the memories. I -love- coffee-flavored ice cream. I wish there were more varieties of it out there, because the jamocha shake is really the only way I can get coffee in my ice cream.
Everything looked clean, and apart from the thing with them forgetting the au jus and the bag thing, everything else went pretty well!
Now if only Arby's would actively make Jamocha ice cream and sell it, well, that'd be perfect... read more
