Cinnamon Bun Oreos and Margarita air fresheners

Another weekend just flew by.

Saturday was a really lazy day -- I got plenty of napping in. Sunday started with eggs and cinnamon rolls lovingly prepared by Anthony, then a bath for Lucky, some laundry, dinner at Jersey Mike's, and grocery shopping.

I'll never understand why so many sub shops
think customers want half a head of lettuce
on their sandwich.

Walmart Neighborhood Market was out of honey buns!
I believe this signals an impending apocalypse.

Betty Crocker cupcake mixes:
Pina Colada and Raspberry Mojito
Beer flavored cupcakes are next.

Oreo Cinnamon Bun cookies.
I actually bought these, they're wonderful.

Birthday frosting filled Chips Ahoy
Frosting isn't just for on top of stuff anymore.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Chips Ahoy
Only 140 calories per two cookies.
But who just eats two cookies?

Pine tree air fresheners are soooo old school.
Now, the trees come in scents like Black Ice (which I assume
is like black licorice), Vanillaroma, Coconut, and Margarita.
"No officer, I haven't been drinking, my car smells like
margaritas because of my pine tree air freshener".
There's a drunk driver's wet dream.

Micro house in the parking lot

A company that builds micro houses brought one to the TV station today and let the staff tour it. The thing is transportable like an RV trailer but looks like a house sliced in half.

In case you're wondering, it'll only set you back $77,000 and won't fit in a fast food drive thru.

I should buy one and park it at work.
It would make my commute really short.

Patti LaBelle Sweet Potato Pie

It's Sunday -- which is dinner and grocery shopping day for Anthony and I.

Dinner was at Raising Cane's, the chicken strip place near Park Place Mall. We've eaten there once before and this experience was pretty much the same. The chicken is good, the fries are average, and the prices are not as cheap as I'd like ($21-ish for the two of us). But, Anthony wanted chicken so chicken is what he got.

We did our grocery shopping at the usual Walmart Neighborhood Market location we shop at.

The item I spotted at the grocery store that got me briefly excited was the Patti Labelle Sweet Potato Pie that was so hard to get around Thanksgiving. I wanted to buy it but Anthony was so not interested that I knew I'd have to eat the whole thing by myself if I purchased it. I plowed through two whole pies by myself around Thanksgiving a few months ago (took me two weeks) and it's a lot of pressure to eat that much pie without help. I wasn't going to subject myself to that again.

Dinner at Raising Cane's

These crazy Duff cake mixes must sell well
since they have a bunch of them now at Walmart
including Tiger Stripes, Tie-Dye Swirls, and Camouflage.

Ham with my name in it:
KENtucky!

Umbrellas: "I fit perfectly in your purse!"
sounds like a date I've had

Since Anthony wouldn't help me eat it
all I could do was take a picture.

First visit to Kneaders Bakery and Cafe

Anthony and I tried a new (to us) restaurant last night: Kneaders Bakery and Cafe at Broadway and Wilmot.

The interior is a little bit "homey" and a little bit contemporary. They have a fireplace in the dining room, shiny tile floors, and lots of wood. (I like lots of wood... ahem).

It's sandwiches, salads, soups, and baked goods like fancy bread and pastries. We were going to eat at Raising Cane's next door but that place was a zoo, so we ate at Kneaders since they were less busy.

I had a roast beef sandwich on Country White bread, Anthony had a croissant sandwich. The combos come with choices like chips and a pastry.

They also have cute little gifts for sale like a Cracker Barrel. But, unlike Cracker Barrel, there isn't a section of the building where the hustle is on to sell you something. It's more subtle at Kneaders.

It seems more like a lunch place than dinner joint unless you like a lunchmeat sandwich for dinner. But, I'd eat there again. The food was pretty good.

Big box of Thin Mints

The Girls Scouts of Southern Arizona were a guest on the TV show today to remind everyone that the annual Girl Scout cookie sale is underway.

They were kind enough to bring us some cookies. I got a box. A really BIG box.

I only need one box of Thin Mints this year
