we recently came across some new to us breads in the bakery area of wal-mart.
from a company called cidrines a porto rican bread; (from their site) "pan criollo strikes a harmonious balance between its crispy crust and soft crumb." it was pretty good, a very soft interior.
sobao bread, from the same company. kind of like a sweet french bread. but not as sweet as hawaiian bread.
and cubano bread from the wal-mart bakery was kind of like italian bread with a denser crust.
or so it seems.
january is reminding us that winter only started about a month ago and is not going to ease up for a while yet. despite the random days of spring-like temperatures.
highs in the 20s, lows in the teens, or single digits. with some snow now and then.
after several days of it being warmer with some rain, it is now cooling off with a chance of snow or frozen mix.
crazy stuff.
these are some new(?) limited-time thing that my brother discovered at target. a few days after christmas they had their christmas candy 30% off, so we got a bag to try.
not good. very strong fake sugar cookie taste. obviously will not get again.
my brother: "reese's need to stop with all of these flavors."
me: "we need to stop buying them."
another year is coming to an end. it seemed like it just started.
if you had a bad 2025, i hope 2026 is better.
if you had a good 2025, hopefully 2026 will be just as good.
and if you're going to any new year's eve parties tonight, not to drink and drive. and "buzzed" driving is just as bad.
hope you had a nice holiday, if you celebrate. or a nice thursday if you didn't.
if you're going to brave the stores to make a return, or take advantage of after christmas sales, hopefully you will make it though unharmed.
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.
