California Pizza Kitchen Mindful Chik'n BBQ Pizza

 the chicken pieces are kind of rubbery and have a vague "chicken" flavor. not something i'd want to get again.

target also as a meatless monday supreme pizza from digiorno with meat substitute from sweet earth brand. it was slightly better.

Jarritos Tamarind Soda

 something we picked up from the mexican section (tex-mex?) at wal-mart.

according to wikipedia; Tamarind is a leguminous tree bearing edible fruit that is indigenous to tropical Africa. The genus Tamarindus is monotypic, meaning that it contains only this species. The tamarind tree produces brown, pod-like fruits that contain a sweet, tangy pulp, which is used in cuisines around the world.

it is not very good. we also got a mandarin orange soda from the same brand, hopefully it is better.

new year's eve 2020

 another year done.

hope the next one is better than the last.

update on peppermint stuff

 neither the ice cream nor the cream pie was that good. they kept "coming back" and when they did, there's be a weird cooling feeling in the back of the throat for hours.

this ends our peppermint experiment.

christmas 2020

 if you celebrate it, hope you have a nice holiday.

and whether you do you don't, i hope you find something good in the sales tomorrow.

first day of winter

 sure, it will be colder (maybe, because climate change) but at least the days are getting longer.

pepperminty

 having avoided the chirstmas holiday season flavor of peppermint (because my brother doesn't like mint) for years,  we decided to take the plunge a try a couple of peppermint things.

we got wal-mart peppermint ice cream and their peppermint cream (with a fancy accent mark over the e in cream) to try.

not at the same time though. there is such a thing as too much peppermint.
