DQ For Your Sweet Cravings!



This summer we tend to look for cold drinks such as shakes, or any frozen dessert like ice cream. Ice cream is usually made from dairy products such as milk and cream and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. The meaning of the phrase ice cream varies from one country to another. Phrases such as "frozen custard", "frozen yogurt", "sorbet", "gelato" and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. Countries like the United States using the phrase ice cream only applies to a specific variety and most governments regulate the commercial use according to the relative quantities of the main ingredients. There are also milk substitutes or dairy alternatives such as goat's or sheep's milk available for those who are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy protein, or vegan. Dairy Queen, often abbreviated as DQ is a chain of soft serve and fast food restaurants owned by International Dairy Queen Inc., The first Dairy Queen store opened in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois. Dairy Queen also has a rich history, which started way back in 1983 when the soft served formula was first developed by John Fremont "Grandpa" McCullough (1871-1963) and his son Bradley. They were able to convinced their friend and customer Sheb Noble to offer the soft served products in his ice cream store in Kankakee, Illinois.

Funny as it seems, even now that I have my own kid I still enjoy visiting Disney land Theme Park.I guess, we may grow up but theirs always gonna be a kid hidden in the deepest of our hearts. Why does everybody love Disneyland? And that's the same question I've been asking myself too. Then I realized, is it because of the Disney characters mascots that we'll meet during our stay at Disneyland or the different rides and shows and parade of Disney stars? Everybody has their own reasons for liking Disneyland but for me It's the memory of being happy and reminiscing your childhood because being a child means not worrying about the world. Disney characters has always been a part of our lives up until now. They serve as an inspiration for us when we are growing up and now our kids too. We love a happy endings because of the fairy tales from the different Disney Princesses and we'd also like to end up with a handsome Prince Charming or find a beautiful damsel in distress and save them from the evil witches who puts a curse on them because of envy and greed.


But, who really started this idea of Disneyland Park? Of course, it's no other than Walt Disney himself. He got the concept for Disneyland when he and his two daughters visited Griffith Park in Los Angeles. He was watching his two daughters ride the merry-go-round and came up with the idea of creating a place where adults and their children could go and have fun together. constructing such a big place was difficult at first because of the lack of funds. Eventually, they were able to raise money and was able to start with the construction after a year and a day they opened the Disneyland for everyone to visit and enjoy.Located in Main street, USA, everyone could stroll down the gateway to Disneyland park, where turn-of-the century architecture and transportation bring the small-town Middle America of the early 1900's to life plus the added landscapes like the commercial hanging baskets on every corner of the store on Main street and interior decorations like the indoor plants and trees . There's a lot of attractions that you and your family could try, like the Disneyland Railroad at the grand Main Street Station for a ride around the park or the vintage vehicle or horse-drawn streetcar for a jaunt down Main Street.


You and your family or friends or special someone could share the timeless experience of watching fireworks explode over the Sleeping Beauty Castle or be entertained with the different music or live bands playing, You can also go shopping with sweet treats, magic treats or jewelries. lastly you could savor the aroma of baked goods, rich coffees and sugary ice cream cones. Lastly, is Walt's own apartment on the 2nd floor above the firehouse. An antique-style lamp sits in the window in honor of his memory and replaced by a Christmas tree during the holiday season. So what more could you ask for? Bring your family and friends or go out on a date with that special someone at Disneyland Park, make sure to capture each memories spent in their.

Rice is the staple food of Filipinos, We really can't live without it. Except for those on diet of course, they tend to avoid rice because it's full of carbohydrates. Compared to people from United States, I can say that there comfort food aside from chocolate is doughnuts best complimented with coffee. Doughnuts and coffee shops sprung everywhere because people can eat it and drink coffee anytime of the day. One of the best coffee and doughnut that I've ever tasted is from Tim Hortons. It originated from Canada and eventually as time passes by they were able to expand in the US as well as United Arab Emirates and Oman. Tim Hortons was founded by Miles G. "Tim" Horton who is a National Hockey League Player from 1949 until his death in a car accident in 1974. Ron Joyce who is a former Hamilton police constable became full partners with Horton after opening two more stores by 1967. Horton met Royce after he opened his first store.



They were always changing their menu from time to time to meet the consumers tastes. Since Tim Horton started, It has always been a priority for them to serve their coffee and other beverages as well as baked goods and wide variety of breakfast and lunch option fresh in more ways than one. Nowadays, they were serving Gourmet teas for all those who prefer to drink tea instead of their famous coffee. Specialty hot beverages like espresso and latte, frozen beverages like iced capp supreme and fruit smoothies. Sweet baked good like donuts, bagels, cookies, yogurt and berries pastries and other healthier options like Ham and Cheese Tea Biscuit, Cinnamon roll frosted or glaezed, cgocolate pastry and many more sandwhiches wraps and hot bowls.


As per the latest news they just don't need to evolve in their menu they also need to redesign their store for them to be able to compete with the upmarket coffee chains.Store makeovers include a softer wall lighting, more comfortable chairs, new floor layout, a more open kitchen that gives the customers a peek of their food being prepared and most especially add a little greenery and flowers on the store. Either planted on a planters or flower pots or those hanging plants in a fiberglass or commercial hanging baskets to encourage customers to come inside their store instead of zooming thru the drive-thru.
