A Great Way to Fill Your Tummy!
August 2, 2010 by Alicia
Filed under Around Town, Food
I’ve always been fond of crepes. From the beginning I’ve enjoyed those sweet crepes with chocolate, strawberries and ice cream. Now that I’m a bit older I have realized that savory crepes are delicious just like sweet crepes! When I’m in the mood for crepes I make a whole meal out of it, dinner and dessert!
Want to know a great way to fill your stomachs? Try La Creperia Cafe! It has quickly become one of my favorites! Located off of 1729 E. 7Th Avenue, La Creperia takes the traditional crepe to the next level!
Over the past Twenty Two years, Chef Dinos has perfected the art of crepe making; Patrons stare in admiration, as he pours, twirls and flips the crepes. Using the freshest ingredients, which are then cooked to perfection, these crepes are a blend of a visual and delectable feast.

Going to Green Island!

Filed under Around Town
My parents (and your parents too) always told me to try new things. That it was good for me. Of course they were right, and I have them to thank for it. One of my favorite things to try new, is food. There are so many takes on food by different people and cultures. Living in Tampa has definitely given me the advantage on trying out different foods! Recently I headed out to Green Island and was completely floored at the yumminess of it all especially the Boba tea!
Green Island has made its claim for fame by providing yummy frozen yogurt as well as refreshing Boba teas and smoothies with a smile.
I’ve had Boba tea (or bubble tea) all my life and after moving to the Estates at Tuscany Ridge I was looking for a restaurant that was close by that had it. Most importantly I wanted my Boba tea to be yummy. Green Island has a fresh and all natural menu. They have a unique idea with their drinks and meals that it’s a definite must try! If you’re worried about the sweet treats, Green Island doesn’t use sugar. They use an all natural sweetener, Fructose.
Head on out to 10074 Adamo Dr. and give Green Island a try! Call (813)374-9006 for more information.

As a Florida Resident…
July 6, 2010 by Alicia
Filed under Around Town
Living in Florida is very advantageous, you’ve got everything practically at your fingertips! When I think of it, I adore all the themed parks that are around us. As a kid I loved the Disney themed parks, everytime you’d ask me where I wanted to go for the weekend I’d scream Disney. Now that I’m older I have to say my interests have changed. While no one can compare to Disney, I’m starting to enjoy Busch Gardens because of the rides. They’re a bit more riskier.
Another great advantage of being a Florida resident are the discounts! Yes, we get great discounts to themed parks. Busch Gardens is giving a great discount to Florida and Georgia residents! You can purchase a ticket for less than a day’s admission for unlimited access. This is for 2010 only, you can buy a Fun Card now and enjoy Busch Gardens anytime you want until December 31, 2010!
Another option you can enjoy is doubling up on the fun! You can choose between SeaWorld and Busch Garden or Adventure Island Weekday and Busch Gardens your choice!
If you ask me living in Florida is great!

This Saturday, June 26 Hands Across the Sands will be at it again! In hopes to stop dependence on fossil fuels, this organization is once again joining hands across the nation’s beaches, parks and cities to stop the dangers of offshore oil drilling.
Hands Across the Sands was founded back in October of 2009. Dan Rauschkolb the founder organized a statewide event on February 13, 2010. All over Florida people gathered to send a message to their legislators and Governor Crist that they did not want the offshore drilling bans lifted in Florida waters. This Saturday it’s happening again but not only in Florida, all over the nation and the world!
Hands Across The Sand’s mission is to change our engery policy away from its dependence on fossil fuels and into the light of clean energy. The aim is to convince our leaders to abandon expanded offshore oil drilling and adopt policies that encourage clean and renewable energy resources.
This weekend beaches in Tampa are participating, so you can join hands!
