I've Been Scooped!

I thought I was unique in bringing my quest for a fantastic burger to Oahu, but then I found this blog!  At least now I have a source.  I went to the Cheeseburger Factory in the Ala Moana Center food court tonight, and I have to say that my opinion was slightly different than theirs.  They gave it a pretty bad review, but I liked it okay.  It was definitely a "lunch burger" though.

My viewpoint may have been skewed as it was the only "real" food I'd eaten that day.  (Story segue time!)  I finally got to take my competency exam for work.  It was fairly simple and straightforward:  seven practical stations about essential aspects of forensic anthropology.  It took forever, though!  It was taking so long that I skipped lunch, so the only food I ate at work today was a cupcake from the General's wife.  After taking the test for almost six hours, I felt like this:

Oh my gosh, I freaking love Snape so much.

Of course, I wasn't going to eat the plain pasta that I'd brought with me because it was the kind of day that's so intense that in order to make things right, an animal has to die.  Burger time!  (Can you believe I was ever a vegetarian?)  So I went with my friend Sarah and her boyfriend to Ala Moana Center and we hit up the food court like the classy folks we are.  

Then we meandered around the mall and went to the Pacific Place Tea Room (which isn't a room at all, but a little kiosk in the mall) and got macaroons:  mine was Mango-Lime, Sarah's was Red Velvet.  I quite liked it--it was very fresh-tasting and not too overwhelming in any flavor direction to keep it interesting.

Basically, it was a pretty not bad day!  (Except for the fact that my office-mate and I now know the answer to the question, how many forensic anthropologists does it take to evict a giant cockroach from the building?)
