My favorite restaurant is Biggies, specifically, the one located in East Rutherford. Check it out, here. They serve a wide variety from burgers and steaks, to pizzas and fish. My absolute favorite dishes are the personal flatbread pizza, and the outstanding shirley temple drinks. This restaurant was originated from Hoboken, and I actually used to date a kid whose family owns the chain restaurant; check out the kid's twitter here .
This is my favorite restaurant because of the fantastic service. They accommodate different quantities of people, and the waitors/waitresses are always very sweet. The food is never cold, or not tasty. I love Biggies because of their menu as well. I love their pizza.

If this restaurant closed down, I would go to Houlihans. I would pick it because the location is very close. Check it out here. I would pick Houlihans because of their amazing steak and potatoes.Learn more here or here.

Writing Prompt Dec. 7 -Josh and Sam

I think that we should have a cosmetic class. My friend goes to Bergen Tech and always tells me everything she learns and how much she loves the cosmetology class they offer. I think a lot of people would be interested, and due to high interest, many people would excel in grades and the knowledge they would pick up. This class would be at the end of the day, probably 8th period, because many seniors leave, and they would not have to take away from their main classes.

The students would get mannequins, and have to practice different hair techniques and make-up techniques on them. The hair would range from coloring to simple braiding, and make-up would range from contouring to simple eyeliner. The class would be in any room with tables, and would have a nice calm vibe. There could be light music going on. The students would produce practice on their mannequins, and on occasion, each other. For example, make-up for school plays or school events.

Do Now 11/30

In my life, I am most thankful for my mother, father, and brother. My mom is extremely helpful in my everyday life and acts like a best friend. She is a mom that I can tell anything and is very cool and understanding, My father is a great influence on me. He reminds me to constantly strive for an ambitious future. His business motivates me to be as successful as he is. My brother, Michael, is very important in my life. I am so thankful to have him as a role model in my life, and I love seeing him when he is home from college. I love these three people very much, and am very thankful for them in my life.

The best Thanksgiving I ever had was a couple years ago. My family from Montana came down, which normally they do not. I got to spend the holiday with my aunt and uncle, and my cousins who I adore. Also, my family from Boston came to New Jersey. It was so memorable to spend so much time with them. The food was good, as usual, and the day was beautiful.

Our Thanksgiving tradition is to go to my grandmother's house. We go there around 3:30 and have dinner, and then at 5:30 we start dessert. After dessert we normally play cards. Thanksgiving is always a lot of fun, and I love the tradition we follow.

During my break I had a very eventful weekend. My parents went to the University of Alabama to visit my brother. Here is some information on the college. I had my best friend Crystal stay with me the whole weekend. It was her birthday and we did a lot of memorable things such as a Hoboken dinner and a party with all of our friends. We went to Maxwell Brenner for dessert. We decided to go to the one at the Garden State Mall instead of the city. I got a fondue and my friend got a strawberry crepe. Here is a video of the dessert I chose. This was an awesome day.

During the break I also went to a cheer leading camp. I learned a lot of new skills and tactics to tumble. The camp was in Pennsylvania and I went with all my closest team mates. I was really proud of myself. We advanced as individuals which will help us as a whole. The camp was pretty long but I had fun.  The football game at the field on Saturday was also very fun. Although we lost, it was a great game. I had a fun weekend.
