If your child drops a gallon jug of milk on the floor of the grocery store right after you’ve checked out, the milk will come splurting out of the cracked plastic at an absolutely alarming rate. Kudos to the kind grocery store workers that handled this mishap with grace and kindness.
At The Snooty Fox, a new tea shop that opened in town, I learned about an infusion teapot, and how it works. Isn’t The Snooty Fox a terrific name for a tea shop? It’s kind of like a coffee shop, only they serve tea instead.
I tried Kambucha tea, and learned that it is not for me. First of all, I’ve never been a fan of fizzy drinks, even soda pop. Secondly, I just don’t like fermented drinks. The smell gets me before I can even really consider the taste.
Wear Yak Tracks (boot grippers) when walking in the winter! I knew this! Of course I knew this! I’ve lived with a winter climate my whole life. I just forgot after the first big snowfall, and went out walking without strapping them to my tennis shoes and fell down literally 5 times in two blocks. It was probably hilarious. I’m not sure if anyone saw.
Opera is so much fun when it is staged and acted out. Even people who say they don’t like opera music come to enjoy it when they really experience it. The DSSO and Lyric Opera of the North produced Carmen this month, and it was a success. I took YaYa along, and she’s now an opera appreciator despite having disdain for the sound of opera music for years. I don’t think she was the only one surprised to find herself enjoying opera.
Placing carrots and celery inside a roasting turkey makes for delicious flavor. My sister-in-law brought the technique along with her to Thanksgiving dinner.

Yak Tracks?! I’ve never even heard of those (says the girl who lives in North Carolina).
So glad you joined in!
