Trader Joe’s Popcorn with Herbs & Spices

Context: I’m trying to force bulk through my system to get my digestive process happy after eating an unexpected spicy dinner.

“savory seasoning blend including dill, celery seed and onion” is tasty and easy to snack on. ☆☆☆☆★

Hi-Chew Gummies

Apparently I’m just posting about candy. I may have picked these up at a japanese market on a whim and ate in the dark at the cinema. Peach, mango and strawberry flavors. They have filling inside which of course reminded me of gushers. I like them better than gushers.

Trader Joes Fruit Jellies Candy

File this under: random things I bought because I haven’t seen them before and with Trader Joes I might never see again. Product of the UK, contains wheat. Peach, cherry, mango, pear. A fun little treat.

I regret that I have to say this, but if I cannot read what I wrote, the notes I take are useless. I guess I have to type it because my handwriting is the problem.

Roterfaden A5: I am trying new things 🖊️

I may keep my brain in my pocket but I want to try new things and experiment and have room for imperfections. This is why I bought a Roterfaden at Baum-kuchen. The cover has clips to let me swap notebooks and inserts. And yes that is a Jetstream Lamy.

Baum-kuchen

Baum-kuchen is a cake, shaped like a cross section of a tree. From the German, “Baum” meaning tree and “Kuchen” meaning cake. It is also the name of a stationary store that was located in Altadena. Today they held a soft opening at their new location in Eagle Rock. I was very pleased to see the store busy.

Feedback for Electrify America

Electrify America sent a survey email to ask how likely I would recommend to family / friend and so forth. I don’t think a numerical range is capable of explaining that I would recommend them but would immediately complain about them to lower expectations. 7/10 ?

Guys & Dolls, a quote from Sky Masterson

One of these days in your travels a guy is going to show you a brand new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet! Because as sure as you stand there, you’re going to wind up with an ear full of cider!
