weird weather

 well after like 2 weeks of winter temperatures and some snow, we've swung back the other way and have more fall-like temperatures now. except for a random day here and there with more spring-like temperatures.

it became fall just in time for winter. 

christmas candy

 everything is so expensive these days.

we only got 2 packages (each, brother want's white ones) of reese's PB trees this year.

i didn't bother with any chocolate coated gingerbread from aldi this year. 

kind of depressing really. 

the weather

 temperatures went from "very reasonable for fall" to "in the depths of winter" over a week or so.

it snowed a few days ago & it's still cold enough to stay for awhile. which my brother likes, every year i have to hear a rant about there not being enough snow in winter.

except it is still fall, and quite frankly, too early for this nonsense. 

thanksgiving '25

 hope you have a nice holiday, for those who celebrate.

 hope you have some good leftover for tomorrow & will find some good deals in the black friday (or cyber monday) sales.

and be careful driving today, thanksgiving in one of the bigger times of the ear for drunk driving accidents. and remember 'buzzed" driving can be just as bad as drunk driving. 

more dollar tree stuff

 this time it was flipz; these candy-coated pretzel things. we got 3; milk chocolate, white fudge & fried chocolatey sandwich cookie flavor (a limited time thing).

all of them were fine for what they are; cheap snacks with salty & sweet flavors.

would probably get again. 

Holiday Creamy Vanilla coke

 some kind of limited time thing my brother found at wal-mart a few days ago.

we got one to split and we both agree there is a vague cream taste to it.

not sure what makes it a "holiday" thing, other than the label looks like christmas wrapping paper.

the drink is nothing to get again. 

Snickerdoodle twix

 discovered this at wal-mart at one of the end-cap things by the checkouts. they also had cookies n' cream & salted caramel (we tried those). according to google this has been out since july, but we've never seen them before.

rather strong cinnamon taste. kind of like redhots, but not as strong a flavor. i could not taste the sugar part of the snickerdoodle flavor, nor the chocolate or caramel of the twix. glad i split this with my brother.

if you like the kind of heat/spice redhots has, then this is for you. otherwise skip it.

obviously will not get again.
