My Big Fat Greek Sandwich in Tyler TX

April 13th, 2012

What about Kabob and His Gyros
The gyro sandwich is something I keep wanting to call a /ji-row/ but yet it is pronounced /hero/ and no matter how many times I hear it pronounced the right way I think of gyroscopes and how awesome they are.

You need to go to Hobby Town for the gyroscope but my recomendation today is to go by What About Kabob’s and His Gyro’s and get my favorite sandwich, the Philly Cheese Steak Gyro.

The sandwich is downright good! It just is, enough said! Take my word on this, ok! Now on to the fries…

I love not only the sandwich but the fries…they have a seasoning that is just right and not too salty. There is enough seasoning on them that I refrain from ketchup but that is fine because they are nice and tasty.

If I can give you a comparison regarding the fries I would say that if you go over to that burger restaurant Mooyah you may have noticed that the Mooyah fries are extremely salty and so much so that you may have eaten like two before throwing the rest away.

At Kabob’s the fries have a seasoning that actually makes sense because they put that on those fries because it makes them taste good. You would think all restaurants would follow this formula but yet they don’t.

I know at Kabob’s I will get a good sandwhich and good fries and I can write on the walls with a marker whenever I want. I often read quotes and things written by various friends and aquantances in Tyler on their wall.

Why just the other day I read some graffiti on the big yellow wall by the South Campus First Baptist Church pastor Chris Legg.

 

Where is the Tyler Texas Halloween Store This Year?

August 25th, 2011

Spirit Halloween Costumes in Tyler

If you go down Broadway across from Discount Tire there is this furniture store with a gold painted roof. The store was called Tiny Treasures or something like that. There you will find the new Spirit Halloween store.

This store has it all, kids costumes, adult costumes, costumes for your dog. Keep in mind if you wait until the last minute most of the good costumes will be gone. Also these stores are kind of expensive and the masks probably have little kid and big kid/adult snot on them by the time it gets further on into October.

If you want to save money go ahead and shop for Halloween costumes online but we all know Spirit Halloween is in town only because they know better then many of us that we will procrastinate until the last minute.

I usually go into this store and buy some fake blood or something like that and just look around at all the gruesomeness. It’s fun just looking in there but I probably won’t be buying any masks or adult costumes and we are more likely to make my sons costume than to buy it at a store.

As a side note you may save a little money on your Halloween costume by going by the Card and Party Factory over by Super 1 Foods across from Casa Ole and Chick-Fil-a.

 

Workout number 7 at XTC Fitness in Tyler TX

June 29th, 2011

 

I am now officially at workout number 7 after completing it today around 1:00 p.m.

During my lunch hour I run over to Tony Cruz XTC Fitness and Sports gym and get in a 45 minute kickboxing workout.

Since almost all of this workout is cardio with the occasional push ups you feel the pain. Regardless if you think your tough stuff if you don’t do normal cardio stuff on a regular basis this workout out will remind you of that.

Back on my 6th workout day I started to actually feel stronger. I could do quite a few more fist push ups and I didn’t feel so much like I was about to die.

I know that will power is the number one most powerful asset we as humans have and that my emotions would be telling me to quit at workout number 1.

As you can see I did kickboxing class number 7 and I am still alive and well and feeling much healthier, happier, and more alert than ever.

The kickboxing trainer I had to today was Andrew and on other days it is Corey. Both group exercise trainers are extremely helpful and encouraging throughout the 45 minutes.

If you want to get yourself into shape quick and don’t feel like you have the time then make some time during your lunch break. Go by Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports and meet a personal trainer or two and see what group exercise class and time would work best for you.
