I don't know about Spring. I may have tulips and daffodils but it also snowed (lightly) here today!

We're supposed to get some tomorrow.

That being said, the flip flops will not be shunned. Not for a single day ... until November some time.

I actually don't recall them having Olaf. There was a purple Anna and Elsa mug. I got the Elsa one. 'Cause, ya know, she's awesome.

Elsa is definitely > Anna.

 

[JenniferS]

The best? I would rather not have snow right now! But the flowers are nice!

Let it go. You won't win.

BRENHAM, Texas, April 20, 2015 –Blue Bell Ice Cream of Brenham, Texas, is voluntarily recalling all of its products currently on the market made at all of its facilities including ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet and frozen snacks because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Ugh! Just terrible. Blue Bell has the absolute best ice cream.

I remember several years back when the health department shutdown all the McKenzie's locations. I was so sad. They had the best king cakes. I don't care if the sink was mildewed their pastries were delicious.

 

[Eric1955]

Here's one of Benny Grunch and the Bunch's hilarious Christmas songs that references McKenzie's getting shutdown. The song is filled with local references that out of towners probably won't get.

Oh my. That was flat-out cruel, wasn't it...

I liked 5 Guys well enough but when we are out by Woodfield Mall but there is a
Meatheads on the other side of Woodfield that is even better and their fries and especially their Cajun fries are so freak'n good. They use a pie plate as a serving dish and the vast amount of fries that are served with the cheeseburger make it a better value too. Was one of the first places I've ever seen the Coke mix machines and they now have the new hybrid ones.

Yep, the first time they've had to recall anything in their 108-year history. Such good ice cream.
So sad, especially for all the victims and their families. Prayers to all of them.

Walt gets dixie cups here and there as a special treat. I'm fearing in my freezer that they might be that. Need to wait to see if they them until he is outside.

I used to have a schnauzer named Toto. Every time we had a bad thunderstorm he would go jump in the bathtub and start digging.

Yep, I had a bathtub diver too. A female golden. Thunderstorms and Fireworks. I got meds from the vet for a while but when I got the second golden he would accidentally topple her over so back to the basement or bathtub she headed.

Woot! Bears vs Greenbay 1st game. Second Bears vs Greenbay on Thanksgiving night.

yikes...!!
I smell a lot of lawsuits!

Also, I wonder if they forgot to clean one of their processing centers or not.
I remember there was one of the main distributors of food in the US, guilty of spreading contaminated food.
The annoying part? they were blaming Mexican producers of tomatoes.

They've obviously owned COMLPLETELY up by voluntarily recalling/removing every single product they have out there from the marketplace. And, last I heard, they weren't blaming Mexico for any of it.

Oh, Yum City!!! That looks delicious and I can tell what a classy joint it is, too! (They're the best, by the way!)

Never heard of MooYah. I just looked up locations and there is one by my BIL and one by my Aunts. Go Figure.

All this burger talk has made me REALLY hungry...!
