Salsa in a parking lot

I noticed a container of green salsa in the KGUN parking lot when I went to work yesterday.

One of my co-workers had a bland breakfast burrito.  A true culinary tragedy.

At least it parked inside the line.

Fluffy buns, potato cakes, and Lucky has a new rug

It's Sunday, which means it is the time each week that Anthony and I have off work at the same time to actually go do something together.

This week's adventure included dinner at Arby's near Park Place Mall, a trip to Walmart Neighborhood Market, and a stop at Target.

We chose Arby's for dinner because they have been advertising on television for their limited edition roast beef sandwiches served on King Hawaiian buns.  King Hawaiian buns are tasty and fluffy.  In fact, if you served a dog turd on a King Hawaiian bun it would somehow become instantly delicious.

Next, we stopped at Walmart Neighborhood Market for our weekly grocery shopping trip, and then went to Target to get a new rug for the bathroom floor that Lucky likes to sleep on.  He started chewing on the Nate Berkus rug that he wouldn't even lay on for over a month and then was throwing up the rug strings today.  It had to be replaced.  This time, I bought a cheap brown Target bathroom floor rug.  He likes it though, he sniffed it when I took it out of the bag, then when I laid it on the bathroom floor he immediately laid down on it.  Apparently his tastes lean more toward generic brown Target bathroom rug than Nate Berkus.  To read the original story of the Nate Berkus rug, click here.

King Hawaiian Roast Beef sandwich at Arby's with Potato Cakes
It was wonderful.

Anthony ordered home made potato chips that Arby's now offers.
He had four firsts in this meal: King Hawaiian buns, the chips, a potato cake, and a chocolate turnover.
It was like watching him lose his virginity four ways at the same time. 

Chocolate Turnover at Arby's.
This is the first one Anthony has ever tried.

Strawberry Cheesecake Jell-o pudding
It looks like ketchup on top to me.

Flip Flop wine
Priced at $4.97, it's pretty likely that an actual flip flop shoe is more delicious.

Fruit snacks - Dora, Angry Birds, Scooby Doo, Iron Man 3, Super Mario, Sponge Bob
It apparently requires a gimmick to get children to eat fruit (or processed dried rolled fruit) anymore.

Creamy Reese's Peanut Butter
We have looked in the peanut butter section of this Walmart Neighborhood Market for two years and today was the day:
They finally carry Reese's peanut butter!

Goldfish crackers now come in French Toast, Fudge Brownie, Vanilla Cupcake, Cookies and Cream, and S'mores.

This cardboard girl over the Lay's chip display is going to fall on a customer any minute.

Cajun Injector Injectable Marinade
"Hey baby, are you a Cajun? Can I inject my marinade into you?"

Cookies now come in cups with lids

Congratulations to an unknown neighbor

I spotted this written on the back window of a neighbor's car:

"Just Married, Commissioned, Graduated!!"
Now that you have these three major life events out of the way, do you have anything left to live for?

I'm rolling in it

I took Lucky out for a walk tonight and I found a dollar bill on a sidewalk near the hot tub at the north end of the apartment complex.

If that wasn't enough, I also spotted two pennies on the ground near the east driveway to the complex when we were almost at the end of our walk.

Lucky hasn't insisted on a finder's fee, so it's mine.  All mine!

$1.02.  Cha ching!

Hanging out with Hangover Tony

Anthony and I did our usual Sunday evening dinner and grocery shopping today.

Unfortunately, the poor guy was suffering from a hangover.  I've been there, it sucks.  But, to his credit, he sucked it up and not only was good company but he did my laundry.  Since today is Mother's Day, I guess I'm the one who got the Mother's Day gift:  Spring fresh underwear.

Taking a break from laundry, we went to KFC on Tanque Verde Road and then to Walmart Neighborhood Market at 22nd and Craycroft.

The KFC Ken and Anthony Mother's Day feast.
Original recipe boneless chicken for him, and a Doublicious sandwich for me.
And, he gave me his biscuit.
Which, now that I think about it, sounds naughty.

KFC uses sporks for utensils.  I think sporks are the most evil invention EVER.
Anthony had trouble using one... this is a splinter of his spork that hit the floor after it broke..

This lovely display of wine, candles, and flowers on a napkin was on top of the deli case at Walmart Market.
How romantic.

Someone left their umbrella in the candy aisle.

I find the names of knockoff sodas amusing.
The Walmart knockoff of Dr. Pepper is called Dr. Thunder.

Here's Mountain Lightning, the knockoff for Mountain Dew.

Twist Up is the knockoff for 7-Up.

And, the boy band One Direction is the knockoff for an actual band.
