Food & Drink featured prominently this week:
I’ll try anything once; even chocolate-covered maple smoke bacon soda.
Yes, you read that sentence correctly.
First Impression: It’s not that bad.
Second Impression: Just a tad sweet . . .
Third Impression: I’m drinking carbonated chocolate syrup.
Fourth Impression: Oh dear Lord, that aftertaste!
Final Impression: This is vile; the bottlers should be charged with crimes against humanity.
A former student now living in Maine brought me a 12-pack of Moxie!
With patience, I can make this last for six months.
For the record, I still have 3 of the bottles I received on July 4.
I baked three apple pies this week.
My apple corer/peeler/slicer no longer cores or slices.
Sadness.
My mother called to confirm I’d bake one for her and Dad when they visit.
I’d count that as a success.
I went to Chipotle for the second time in my life.
I don’t normally photograph my meals, but this one just looked so good on the tray.
Mine is the one on the right.
I ordered the steak bowl with black beans, vegetables, mild salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
I’m not a fan of guacamole.
I like avocado and mayonnaise on their own.
Together, not so much.
I walked downtown
By now you know I took pictures of bricks:
Of course, I also made time for books:
I found this relationship schematic in the front of A Casual Vacancy. I’m sure it will make sense at some point, but I’m more concerned with the fact this was written in a library book.
Another package came this week!
Royal Mail and USPS delivered my copy of A Blink of the Screen by Terry Pratchett.
My TBR continues to grow.
Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you . . .
Also, I finally caught up with my Reading Challenge!
It feels good to be back on track.
Except – as of today – I’m already behind again.
I’ll make it up this week.
Maybe.
Probably not.

Don’t forget to follow me on:
Facebook – where I share news stories, articles from other blogs, and various and sundry miscellany that happens to catch my eye. It’s stuff you won’t see here! Well, mostly.
Instagram – where I show you my Life in Motion and share quotes and such. The widget only shows my last three photographs – don’t you want to see them all?
Twitter – where you can see my thoughts in 140 characters or less. Also, funny retweets.
