Cookie and Cocoa Swirl Contraband

, , ,

A tip for travelers flying to your destination, pack that Cookie and Cocoa Swirl from Trader Joes. Don’t transport this jar in your hand carry with the intent of protecting the cargo. The TSA screeners at airport security will confiscate your swirl. Well, they’ll give you the chance of eating it before proceeding through security. Unfortunately, we didn’t have anything to thickly smear the cookie and cocoa combo on so to the amnesty bin it went (with someone else’s confiscated swirl).

  

Be Like Steph

Subliminally, I guess I want to be like Steph (Curry of the Golden State Warriors).

Well, not really, having a gimpy ankle ain’t fun. But I’m hoping Steph’s ankle brace of choice, the Zamst A2-DXhelps out.

What Is a $14 Peach?

, , ,

So what does a peach costing $14 from Minamoto Kitchoan taste like? Freelance blogging contributor, Kimi, shares her thoughts about the Momosayaka and the Tousenka.

peach-2First off, this peach is not a fresh piece of fruit from the grocery, but rather a peach preserved in jelly. The Momosayaka is half a peach, costing $14. If you want the entire fruit, you need to pay $20 for the Tousenka. If shelf life is a consideration, the Tousenka should be consumed within two weeks while the Momosayaka lasts three months preserved in its jelly.

A sweet jelly encompasses a soft sweet peach and is refreshing but too sweet for delicate tastes. Kimi says, “It was like a fancy Del Monte fruit cup with better ingredients. My palate is sensitive to sugar so I don’t think most people would think it’s too sweet. To help you gauge the sweetness factor, I can only eat plain yogurt because all the yogurts with fruit or flavored yogurt is too sweet for me.”

So what’s Kimi’s final say?

I wouldn’t purchase this for myself, but I think it would make a nice gift. Since the Momosayaka and the Tousenka taste the same, I would recommend buying the Tousenka to get more bang for your buck.

So if you’re a diehard peach fan, get the Tousenka and enjoy!

Time to Get Versed in the Harry Potter Universe?

, , ,

Although the official opening for Universal Studios Hollywood’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter doesn’t open until April 7, 2016, “technical rehearsals” are underway. These soft openings are unannounced and somewhat random, likely to open and close whenever. But the point being, you can actually experience Hogwarts in California now (if you’re lucky).

Never interested in the Harry Potter series previously, I may just have to dig into a book (or two) to get versed with Harry and his pals.

Dear Employee

, , ,

did-you-knowWhen I ask that the stamps of two separate loyalty cards be combined, I don’t mean add one set of stamps to the other card and give me back BOTH cards. I mean I’m grateful that 14 stamps were transferred to complete one card, and I still have those 14 stamps on a second card, but that’s not how it works. I guess we’ll call it even since you didn’t add stamps for my $4 drink transaction.
