I like the idea of an "open post." In my past experiences of trying to start a blog, I always tried to find my niche and pick a specific topic to write about, and then I would get bored and quit. I like this activity because we are showing a little bit of ourselves in each post.
Every Friday for bell work I have my students complete a similar "free write" activity. Some write about food, others write about their day, and others may write a mini-story or poem. I will attempt to write about each of these things in my open-blog posts, including the story and poem. On that note, today I'm going to share with you my favorite restaurants in Orlando for quick, fairly inexpensive food. Keep in mind that I've only lived in Orlando since October and I typically only eat at restaurants that are close by my house (near downtown). 1. Hop-Bo Chinese Restaurant Conway Plaza, 4420 Curry Ford Rd. This place has some of the biggest, crispiest, most delicious egg roles I've ever had in my life for $1.20 each. They also have a General Tso chicken combo plate for about $8 - pretty much the only thing I ever order when getting Chinese. 2. I L Pescatore Inc. 651 Primrose Dr. The Gamberi Cioppino is filled with jumbo shrimp. It's $17.95, but it's huge so my boyfriend and I split it and have leftovers. 3. Smashburger These burgers are huge and you can buy a Groupon for $7 for two burgers. That's the extent of my list of favorite restaurants. I don't get out much. Thanks for stopping by!

I am a huge "foodie"! I have to try some of the places you've mentioned. You should try this little burger place on Colonial called Columbian Burger. It is actually pretty tasty. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the egg roll recommendation. I have been on the hunt for good ones ever after I used to buy them out of a bucket from a woman in the neighborhood I grew up in. I do love Smashburger and Il Pescatore, but will have to go to Hop Bo. Another place I love budget-wise is El Rancho Taco.
