Theater And A Bagel

We stopped in at the Flying V Awesome-A-Thon yesterday. 


How can anything “awesome” not be good? 


Flying V mixes it up with the arts and culture. 


They combine theater with wrestling!


Essentially, this group tries to add adventure and combat to the more staid dramatic performances. 


Anything that brings theater more alive is definitely a good thing. 


We got to sit in on the event organizers doing a live podcast and could definitely see their enthusiasm for “Shakespeare and training” and becoming a success story.  


Anyway, they did have some snacks at the event, and this colorful bagel was definitely the standout. 😉

A Cherry Tomato B4 Your Pie

So this was funny at our work social hour today. 


The person organizing it brought in snack foods–pretzels, cookies, chocolates, and apple pie. 


Of course, there were also some token vegetables and dip. 


So as you’d expect with all the junk food on the table, no one was eating the vegetables.


So one colleague goes:

Eat a cherry tomato and then you can have some pie.


The response from you know who was:

Ah, if you want us to eat a tomato then you better just put it inside the pie!


By the end, there was no more pie, but there sure were a lot of leftover cherry tomatoes. 😉

A New Type Of Chocolate Chips

chips

Ok, dieting is hard enough with all highly processed food out there these days. 


And everything is carbs, carbs, and more carbs…it’s literally poison for the body. 


But when you go into the store and see Lays chocolate covered potato chips…this just brings you to the verge of sin. 


The top are milk chocolate covered potato chips, and the bottom ones are dark chocolate covered ones. 


Choose your poison?


This is definitely a new type of chocolate chips…Hershey’s eat you heart out. 


I told my wife pleadingly, “Can’t I just taste one?” 😉
