If you sent that much strudel I'd weigh a ton. I love strudel and baklava but I don't eat it often.

Hahaaa...!
Sooo scrumptious!!!
And, that's exactly why I don't make it that often, either...!

That's too funny they gave her a blanket! They should do that at my office. Or perhaps give us one of these?

She loves her job. All of the people are so nice, from day one. She couldn't have asked for a better situation right out of college.
And yes she thought it was funny they gave her a blankie 'cause she has always been a blankie kid from a babe. They did grab a name for Christmas and several co-workers did receive Snuggies.

My DD applied for a position with Disney Corp. She was happy to see they offered her an interview. For this position she had to go in person vs skype. 4 days notice a day before a federal holiday. No way could she get off work as a newbie-ish let alone get air fare or likely hotel for the 4th of July weekend. She had to pass on the interview. Disappointing.

This figurine is just creepity.

Hey, who you callin' a ho?

 

[donaldtoo]

I'd much rather eat those last three (well, maybe not the oysters) before any of the other ones you mentioned!

I can eat the heck outta' everything mentioned...!!!
That darn Andrew Zimmern cut me to the quick...

I miss Gran's strudel. Her Plum Dumplings too and I don't eat stuff like that too often. Confessing though I just ate a Magnum Double Chocolate ice cream bar.

A while back I stopped drinking soda, maybe one every couple of weeks, I watch the portions I eat whether it is snacks or meals but I gave up nothing really besides soda. I'm now back once again into clothing size I fit in during my twenty's and feel great about that. So all the strudel and ice cream can't come in volume into the house! But feel free to mail me a slice of strudel.

Yum…chewy…

OK, the slime is gross when you think about it.

Nah, the slime cooks off.

One of the other great parts of Aulani has to be the food now. They openned a new QS location since I've been here called Ulu Café. And they have specials every day. Their soups change every day, and every day that I've had them, they've been delicious. One day, they had a loaded baked potato soup. It was fantastic. Another day, they had a tortilla soup, which to me tasted a lot like MD crab soup, only with chicken instead of crab meat. That was also great. Yesterday it was chicken noodle soup. My stomach was iffy last night, and I saw what their soup of the day was (which ended up being dinner), I practically jumped for joy. And even with my stomach being weird, it was great. I had it+a baked potato (which we had in our room) and that was dinner. Today, I just finished a portugese bean soup. I wondered whether I would like it, but it was so good that if we end up eating in again tonight, I might go get some more.

And then they also have a hot sandwich special. Today, it's shrimp tacos. My mother will be all over those. Yesterday, it was Chipotle bbq chicken wraps. They also have a hot plate special. Yesterday it was meatloaf, which actually sounded good. Today, it's a thin cut steak. My brother will most likely want that. And then they also have premade sandwiches and salads. I haven't had fried food in days becausw I've basically been eating the soups with a salad or sandwich. So good. And not the only place to get food, but at least you're not stuck with hot dogs, burgers, fries, etc.

The food sounds delicious. How have your allergies been?

206% more rain than usual in June.

But we did have one 90 degree day.

Um, I'm assuming this is a typo...or are you omitting part of the story?

I didn't catch that the first time.

Yea, I haven't been a soda drinker in decades. Beer took it's place. But, I've cut back on that quite a bit, as well. Plus, beer tastes better than it already does when it's more like a treat, instead of every day.
And yes, not so much what I eat, but, portion control has always worked for me.

That's pretty much how I eat strudel...a few slices out of a batch of 3.
I like to share, and everyone loves it so much. I take 2 to the office, and they're gone before lunch...!
It just seems to have the right balance of everything.

Sis tried to chop off the head of a snake on the farm. She chopped the end of her toe off, small amount! A bandaid took care of it. But, ouch! Kids should not be around hoes!

how the hell someone would chop their toe with a hoe?? o_o

blood sausage definitively in my NOPE NOPE list.
I tried it once (made by a friend of an uruguayan friend). And it tasted pretty bad for me.
Bull Blood + rice + condiments I think. nope nope.

Actually I like frogs legs! I thought calamari was like fish tasting chewing gum, oysters, breaded and fried by Mom seemed full of sand. Brother loved them. I really don't know why? Maybe it was roughage!

I love all a' that prepared properly.
We used to shoot frogs in the stock tanks with .22's on my grandparents farms, and the hounds would go retrieve them. The way my grandmothers prepared them was so tasty...!
Oh, the memories, again...!

Grass, float on water, a tree.

all of which might be unusual if they have the duck as pet

also.. stop making sense! ITS A DUCK WITH SANDALS! it should NOT make sense!

Me I favor as you know adult grape juice. Most are under 100 calories. Plus all the nutritional value of those grapes.

For as much as the purists don't like Teen Titans Go, CN has managed to introduce a new generation to the franchise. They are premiering their 100th episode on Friday.

well, its not like they have good top tier shows anymore (neither nick.com now that Korra is finished)
I think CN is limping with Gravity Falls and Nick is riding TMNT and dragging Spooge Bob towards death.

ONLY 83 now??? And you think that's cool weather??!!

for someone who is used to get 100+F (aka 30C+) on every summer.. Id say anything below 25C on summer IS COLD.

As much sense as having a duck for a pet.
