An unplanned overnight layover in Los Angeles was not welcomed but a stay in the Hilton Los Angeles provided these design tips.
Wow, I thought the coffee creamer market was already crowded, but it got even more crowdeder. Beyond its recent Cafe Collection line, Coffee-mate also has it all-natural creamer, Natural Bliss, featuring real milk and cream. Three flavors are available – vanilla, caramel, and sorry, forgot the third.
With all its naturalness, I hope Natural Bliss isn’t like the off-tasting La Creme.  Found Natural Bliss at Safeway in Hawaii.
You know you from Hawaii when you bring spam musubi for lunch at Shaver Lake.
Just a tip for the travelers. Don’t hand carry sausages on airplanes. If you do, expect delays at the security screening station. Must be those oblong, cylindrical solids look suspicious on the scanners. Doesn’t matter if it’s Portugese sausage or a salami, the TSA staff will want to look at your sausage.
After being on vacation for a bit, I come back and have lots of software updates to do.
Pictures of some nice and FAT-ty kicks I spied.
Been to the grocery store lately? There’s a new coffee creamer trying to break into the crowded market dominated by Coffee-mate and International Delight. Look for Baileys Coffee Creamers (yes, that Baileys) and see if this new creamer can make it.
I tried the Original Irish Cream and thought it was okay. Baileys has a creamier consistency compared to Coffee-mate and International Delight, but nothing really set it apart.
Interestingly, the Baileys Creamers web site features an iPhone app called Coffee! The app costs $2.99 and displays various pictures of coffee (not associated with Baileys). Hmmm, I’ll pass on the app and will pass on any more Baileys creamer.
Why yes, you can have Victoria’s Secrets, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, and Kettle Corn all in one spot.
The population of Ladybugs in North America is changing dramatically according to the Lost Ladybug Project. But I think I’ve discovered a new breeding ground. Look at all these Ladybugs! Â Yes, all those reddish specks are Ladybugs.
I submitted these pics to the Lost Ladybug Project to help with their data collection and analysis.
The consensus is resounding for kitchen sink selection. Stainless steel, one big partition with no divider. That’s it. The only wrinkle is over mount or under mount. When done well, an under mounted sink has a clean look, clean lines, and doesn’t detract from the countertop.
Everyone needs some Boba Fett, the bounty hunter from Star Wars, in their lives.
See the lightning captured in the picture? Neither do I. And that’s my failed attempt at capturing lightning during a recent lightning show.
