When you mix mac n’ cheese together, it makes an unpleasant noise: mush, mush! You can see yellow and orange water at the bottom of the pan. The noodles are so small, you have to eat more than one bowl! 

I hate the way everything falls out of the taco and you have to pick it all up. I hate the way the oil splats onto you while frying the tortilla. I hate the process of making the green sauce since it takes so much time to make it perfect. I hate the way it’s either too soft to eat or too crunchy since it has to be right in the middle for it to be right. I hate the way the cheese doesn’t melt all the way and you have to put it in the microwave in order for it to go ooey-gooey all over the enchilada. I also hate the way I’m talking bad about it, enchiladas are absolutely amazing to the smell and taste. I hate the way you have to wait for it to cool down, if you take the first bite too fast you tend to burn your tongue and everyone knows that experience is not one to like. I hate the way you can only have red or green sauce on the tortilla, why can't it stay normal? I mean it can but it won’t taste the same, but why? I hate the way it makes you full so fast, it makes you want more but you can’t because there’s a chance you end up throwing up if you eat too much of it. It also makes you gain calories due to the ingredients in it, but at the same time it’s a whole salad on a taco because of the lettuce. 

 The warm pasta sauce mixed with soft fettuccine makes you feel warm inside. That’s why I wouldn't recommend eating it during the summer because you’ll probably sweat eating it in the hot weather.

Sometimes when you cook the pasta wrong, the sauce ends up coming out very watery and it ruins the dish. It just ends up being a soft watery mess with thick pieces of chicken in it. That’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to eat. If you eat too much of it, you'll feel super full and bloated. You'll start to feel super sick because pasta fills you up very quickly.

Boba balls can be fun, but for the most part they are flavorless. Whenever I order boba tea there are always way too many boba balls. Yes, you can get flavored boba balls, but what about the people who get boba for the first time, they tend to go straight for classic. The bland flavor and excessive amount of boba balls will lead first time boba tea drinkers away. The ‘bubbles’ taste like bland chewy dough. Boba Milk Tea has very little nutritional value because it is filled with a lot of sugar, the tapioca bubbles are pure carbs, the milk in it is powdered milk, very high in fat. Bubble tea is a chemical cocktail full of empty calories. Boba balls have a really unsettling texture that bothers many people, including myself.

Negative~ The smell of the sweet potatoes while they're boiling is horrific. It smells like the rubber of a tire burning. It takes forever for the potatoes to become soft, It takes about an hour and a half. Looking in the pot while the potatoes are boiling and seeing the white gooey gooey starch that comes out of the potato makes me very disgusted. It looks like little maggots coming out of the potato and like they're just sitting there in the water. With the potatoes being the color of orange, It reminds me of carrots and that is one vegetable I hate. Without boiling the potatoes they are very hard and I will never see them the same way as when they are boiled and baked . Sometimes if you put the wrong ingredients in there it will taste like a bowl of nothing. Seeing them plain and naked without the marshmallows,brown sugar, butter and the cinnamon sugar on it, it looks very bland and tastes very bland. With me liking my sweet potatoes sweet as a sugar cane sometimes my mom tells me that all that sugar can give me diabetes.  Sometimes they look dry as sanded paper. Since the texture of the potatoes are so thick sometimes I have to only eat one bowl even though I really want to eat three. After boiling the potatoes and cleaning it you have to put it into a baking pan and bake it for about 2 hours  and I don't like waiting that long because I like my food right away. 

Never would I think the sound of the wind and the flap from the pages on the menu would sound so satisfying. As I read the description of the Tomato Basil Pasta, my soul moves to heaven. As I watch the waiter come closer and closer. The anticipation of the Basil Tomato Pasta is ready to burst out like a nuclear bomb. “Here you go sir the Tomato Basil Pasta”. The contrasting colors and the balance of the diced tomatoes, the tomato sauce, and the basil puree brings satisfaction to my OCD. The fragrancy of the basil puree brings wonder into why drug addicts snort cocaine and crack over basil. As I shuffle my hands back and forth ready to go to town thinking it can’t get any better. The waiter then says “Tell me when to stop putting in the parmesan”. He starts sprinkling parmesan cheese on the pasta. It may be September but the falling parmesan makes it feel like Christmas. As I put my feet up on the table ready to relax as I watch the parmesan snowfall, I remember I came here to fill up my stomach and not watch a snowfall. Nothing will ever match the balance of firmness and the squishiness consistency of pasta. The strong flavor of the basil, the pure sour taste of the diced tomato accompanied by the parmesan cheese brings a times ten multiplier to the already delicious grilled chicken. 

Negative:

The food is so good you can’t pick one. I finally know what it feels like to be a girl in twenty twelve trying to rank the one direction members from least attractive to most attractive. Do I pick the Crispy Pineapple Chicken or The Everything Flatbread Pizza or The Bacon Bacon Cheeseburger or The Four Cheese Pasta, The Grilled Ribeye Steak or the whole menu just for me. As my eyes read the prices. Never has my soul and brain been in so much pain. My heart is creating the foods in front of my eyes, while my brain is computing the math on how much the whole menu would cost if I were to buy it. It is like being drafted to be a Vietnam Soldier. Your heart is telling you not to join but your brain is telling you that you would go to jail if you don’t go. As I eat my food choice. I think what could have been. The tenderness of the ribeye steak and the satisfying mush and gush from the mashed potatoes. The diverse and multi taste of the four cheese pasta. The classic guilty pleasure of the flatbread pizza. The smokey smokey smell of the bacon-bacon cheeseburger. The delicacy of the white sauteed white fish. The spice of the Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp. Would you rather have your mother or your dad die and you get to keep the other one? What could’ve been if the other was alive. No you want both of them alive but you can’t have both of them alive. That is what it feels like picking from the Cheesecake Factory menu. 

The bread could get really soggy because of the mayo and teriyaki sauce and end up falling apart while consuming it.The onion can start to smell if not eating it quickly. Its not healthy if you eat it everyday.

Negative: When you bite into the tasty chocolate strawberry, the crunchy seeds may get stuck in your teeth. Dipping the strawberries into the drippy chocolate can be messy as it runs down on your fingers. Just eating one strawberry makes you want to eat more because of how delicious they are. Because you have to put the tray of strawberries into the fridge, it may take a while for the chocolate to harden to the berry. This can take a full 12 hours, which can make you very impatient. Biting into the flavorful strawberries can be a mouthful because of how big they are with chocolate layered on them. Leaving the strawberries out for too long can cause them to rot, which would not be good to eat. Chocolate-covered strawberries taste so much better in the summer than in the winter since they are only grown during a specific season. This can be very disappointing when you are craving the fresh treat. The fruit tastes the best when they are dipped into milk chocolate instead of dark or white chocolate. The delightful dessert can be too sweet sometimes with the chocolate. After all, there is no way you can resist eating chocolate-covered strawberries.

The warm sizzling pops of a slice of cheese, the bright yellow cheese, the red tomatoes, and the brown crust all are cooked to perfection. Whenever you are in a hunger pinch you can grab a stored frozen one which is easy to make, ready to go in under half an hour. A simple cheese pizza will be sufficient but if you ever want more to it, you can have sausage, pepperoni, or whatever you want. The taste of any pizza really is warm goodness added with the flavor of any added toppings. To make it one step better, have a pizza with creamy cheese inside the crispy crust. With every bite you can taste the fulfilling flavor in just one slice of pizza, the comforting cheese, along with the cold tomato sauce produces one of the best eating experiences. Even the audible part of taking a bite out of one crispy fresh slice gives off the same experience as eating it too. If you're making yourself a frozen pizza you can watch the journey in the oven from a frozen uncooked pizza to a satisfyingly finished colorful pizza. Going beyond the basics, adding toppings such as a sliced piece of bacon, and even as outgoing as juicy pineapple slices adds much more than you think to eating experience. The way of making a pizza is different for all, picking the frozen parts is truly a wonderful task. To summarize, whenever you're in a tough decision picking the rewarding frozen pizza is always a smart path to choose.

Negatives:

Unfortunately; pizza does have its drawbacks to it, it is chock full of those yucky nasty fats which may push you on to a diet. We also can not forget that pizza is still an ugly fast food at the end of the day. Yep, eating too much pizza has the same effect as if you were to eat ten grease full double-cheeseburgers so always be mindful of that. In no way should pizza be consumed on a daily or even weekly basis, instead for consistency eat a nutritious, green, and fresh pear to fill that hunger void. If we look at the components of pizza we can see even more ugly pimples. The cheese of a cheese pizza threatens you the most on a pizza, it's filled to the brim of calories, overflowing with sodium which can cause problems in people with high blood pressure. Just to paint a picture, one ounce of cheese contains as many calories as three and a half squares of chocolate, and that is without the deluge of sodium. In other words, pizza is overweight with calories and very likely will pass it on to you if you fall into its delusional and decisive aroma. I also forgot to mention that, pizza in another way is ugly because if you are allergic to dairy, you can simply can not enjoy it. Overall pizza is not the friendly food that we want it to be, it will without hesitation, stab us in the back if we are not constantly watching our calorie intake when around pizza.

I hear the sizzle of the Parmesan melting onto the pepperoni as the pizza comes out of the old fashioned oven. The cheese oozing from a piece of pizza as it slides into the box. The strong smell left in the car from the box of delicious pizza. These are just some of the memorable parts of MOD Pizza. MOD Pizza is my favorite pizza place and trust me I've tried many places. Each pizza made to perfection with a bursting flavor in every bite. I always go to MOD pizza with my mom after we've done something fun, like after going to Great America or after going shopping. Every time I go to MOD, I order the same thing because why change what's already delicious. I always ask for a gluten-free crust with barbecue sauce. I add cheese, pepperoni, garlic butter, and have them sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. MOD Pizza always smells so good so I'm already hungry before the pizzas is even made. I always get a side of banana peppers to eat while I wait. The pizza is made in one of those open ovens with the flame inside which adds to the charm of the place. The pizza is always done in 5 minutes and everything is gooey and smells great. At the end,  I always ask for a barbecue swirl on the top because the more barbeque sauce the better. As we drive home the pizza creates a delicious smell in the car that makes my mouth water. I always want to eat on the way home but it's too messy to eat in the car. I have gone there at least 10  times and will continue to order the same thing and continue to enjoy it every time!. 

Just like most places, the pizza and the place have its downsides. There used to be one really close to us but they closed. Now we have to travel a few extra minutes to get to to a different MOD pizza. Also, pizza can be a little expensive. One pizza costs about $11.00 for a gluten-free crust. But in a family of 6 one serving size pizza will not fill all of us up. My brothers and dad can eat a whole pizza themselves. There are many other places that are cheaper and have bigger pizzas. Another major downside is toppings. You could go to the same MOD pizza two separate times in a month and on the second trip, the toppings might not be the same. The meats are usually the same but the vegetables tend to be different. I get the same thing every time, so I would hate to have to change my order. Another downside is that MOD pizza doesn't deliver so if you're having one of those days where you don't want to cook and you don’t want to go out, then it really isn't the best option. Every place you go tends to have some positives and some negatives. These downsides are bad for me at least. Like me, if you don’t drive or have a car, it is hard to get pizza from MOD pizza. Also, if you have a big family and don’t have unlimited money, MOD is a little expensive for more than two people. You just have to realize that MOD pizza can not be an everyday thing. So there are negatives but they are outweighed by the positives.

Negative: When making the chocolate chip cookies, you tend to make a big mess. You have to take out the ingredients using a measuring cup, measuring spoons, multiple bowls, and  utensils. You have to measure out all of the ingredients, then you have to keep the dry ingredients from the wet ingredients. Mixing the wet and dry ingredients together sounds simple, but it can be so annoying. You have to be SUPER careful of the mixer speed because if it is too high, you’re going to have to clean up the mess from the flour being thrown everywhere. But after making a couple batched, you get the hang of it. Scooping the dough into little balls is the worst part. My mom gave me her recipe so I made the dough and then asked her to put them on the baking sheets. It is so tedious, time consuming and annoying. The outcome is worth it though. After she scoops them out, I bake them and keep a VERY close eye on them because if I don’t, they end up burnt and hard and gross. As far as I know, nearly nobody likes a burnt hard cookie. Mrs. Fields is my second favorite for cookies. 

Waffles, as great as they are; has their drawbacks. Leave it in the toaster for too long and it’ll be burnt and too crunchy for anyone’s liking. However, leave the waffle out of the freezer to thaw and it’ll be soggy.
