Food City
There’s a chain of cut rate grocery stores in Arizona called Food City (I don’t know if they’re in other states or not). Adina and I went to one near us one time to see what it was like. We weren’t terribly impressed with it, but one can put up with a bit for good prices. Then we got to the meat section. The meat was all packaged up, but sitting on shelves that were covered in rotting blood. It stunk pretty bad. We decided not to go back.
Root Beer Rum Float
I discovered a new dessert beverage this weekend. We were at a friend’s house for a soiree in celebration of the birthdays of him and his wife, and we had some pizza and a variety of desserts. The dessert we provide was vanilla ice cream and root beer, so we made some root beer floats.
White Russian
While most of my experience with alcohol involves a variety of different beers, I have had the opportunity to try a most excellent beverage called the “White Russian.” There are some variations, but the most common recipes I’ve found are 1 part vodka, 1 part kahlua (or other coffee liqueur), and 3 parts milk; or equal parts vodka/kahlua/milk. My choice was the one with more milk, as I’m not one for going too heavy on the alcohol, as I like to have a nice balance between quantity and quality.P.S. If this seems a tad out of context, it’s because I’ve had it sitting as a draft for awhile and forgot to post it.
Ah, Panera
When I lived in Wisconsin, there was a Panera Bread in the mall, a little too close to where I worked. By that I mean that it was too easy for me to go get some bagels or whatever, which was not good for either the pocketbook or the waistline.
