Taste Test – Try the World (October 2020)

Our favorite subscription box Try the World arrived for October 2020. The box contained products from Italy Spain, Thailand, Ecuador and Florida. As I mentioned in my previous Try the World post the products are all top notch but it is disappointing that there is no description flyer for the products.

Green curry from Thailand.

Very tasty

Olive Oil from Spain

Raspberry Rose flavored water from Ecuador.

A mixture of several different ingredients.

A balsamic vinegar glaze from Italy.

Beef Shawarma marinade

Nashville hot chicken seasoning from Florida

I did not find it overly spicy.

Tartufo Linguine from Italy.

A very good tasting pasta, we served with a pesto.

Restaurant Review – Outback Steakhouse (Methuen, Massachusetts)

Going out to dinner with my sister and brother-in-law we stopped at the Outback Steakhouse in Methuen. Not our usual fare when we go out but the it was conveniently located mid distance between the two families.

We settled down and ordered some appetizers.

Blooming onion and nacho dip.

Their bread is always good.

Time for the entrees.

Steak for Rita.

Surf and turf for Kathy.

Ribs for Jim.

Chicken for me.
