Mangos Cheesecake Review

So I have been wondering about life per usual. Simple things like growing up and stuff like that. I do not think I have made it over the hump yet in being what one would consider an 'adult'. It is sorta weird, because I seemingly have fun at events I go to, laugh a lot, and be merry so I would think that I should be satisfied with a constant amount of that. And inevitably think that satisfaction with that type of environment is 'adult'. But I come home more often than not just absolutely depressed, like I am missing something. Like nothing has changed. Like I am super happy to have the people that I have and I am definitely blessed to have them in my life. But I've noticed that, while I am enjoying myself here at certain moments way more than at any moment at NASA, my overall happiness is at the same level of happiness as I was at NASA. That is weird, given that at NASA, I didn't have as great of friends (not like we hang almost everyday like I do with my friends back here). So I would think I would want to be here over NASA. But I still feel a tug, like I want to go back there. I think the difference there was that I had some purpose that went behind my work there. Like I was doing work for something bigger than myself. I also felt like I was improving myself at a faster rate at NASA than I am here to accomplish my goals for my life. Like I was actually progressing towards the person that I want to be faster at NASA than here. But I was brought back here for a reason, so might as well go enjoy learning that.

Onto to the Cheesecake review.

My buddy's birthday was yesterday (Happy Birthday Joe.) So on Friday we went to his favorite place to eat to celebrate. The place is a Mediterranean (holy snap I spelled that word right without spell checker) style cuisine. Here is the Yelp review of Mangos. Let me tell you they got a solid spread on their lunch buffet, not in term of diversity but definitely in terms of pure glory. Joe is a big fan of the jerk chicken, which for us normal folks is more that enough on the spicy meter. Joe on the other hand, has a tongue that probably decided to take a trip down to hell and thought its was too cold. So he sits around eating food that would usually burn hot fire going into the mouth and burn hot fire coming out of the rectum like it was ice cream. #NoTasteBuds

They had Cheesecake there as well. To set the environment there was about six people there, with mostly PG-13 to rated R humor. So entertaining. I had about two full plates total so about a 8/10 full. It was the first day of a couple of days of not being on my diet. Which sucks because my eating habits consist of eating a ton of whatever is in front of me, whether it's a plate of salad or ten breaksticks or a full Cheesecake (gah I need to go to Olive Garden). This is a problem because I will gain weight when I'm off my diet, and feel like shit both mentally and physically. Nonetheless I still subject myself to cheating my diet every once in awhile, so I will get back on that horse here tomorrow with a good ole white white sandwich and salad. #delicious

The Cheesecake was this traditional style Cheesecake with mangos on top. A couple of problems with it. First the mangos were canned, and syruped canned. Like they took an perfectly good Cheesecake and ruined it but pouring some weak sauce syrup flavored Wal-Mart bought canned mangos. The mangos tasted not so good. If I removed the syrup and the mangos, the Cheesecake was not half bad; however, one could tell it was a freezer Cheesecake and it had some tart taste to it that just was not ideal. Combining the two did not help. It frankly is on the lower end of the list thus far. The only thing it did have going for it was the texture and crust, which actually was pretty decent for a freezer Cheesecake. Some general thickness and one could taste the graham cracker crust. Probably would save my money on the Cheesecake from Mangos unless I need to get my fix immediately (sometimes a Cheesecake is needed after watching movies like the Green Mile).

Overall Score: 7.1/10
