Anyone ever have a 'Grey Snail'?

I have.

Grey Snail
An alcoholic shot consisting of waste liquor lying on the black rubber bar mat. The bartender lifts the rubber mat and pours the mysterious contents into a shot glass. Another alternative is to wipe the bar table clean with a rag and wring the liquids into a shot glass. This shot usually is free. Also known as L.A. traffic jam and cesspool.
I ordered a Grey Snail and saw the bartender lift the rubber mat and pour it all into a shot. It was the worst shot I ever tasted, but you can't complain if you want to get drunk for free.

On average, it takes about 10 years for a young mango tree to bear fruit.
We took some mangoes from my last visit before my house sold.
Some of the best mangoes in South Florida came from that tree.
A seed was planted and now a tree is born!
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to plant fruit trees where I currently live.
Hopefully, I'll find a house and sell my condo before this new tree gets too high for my screened patio.

I suppose I could learn the art of Bonsai Mango!

I was doing some random surfing and hit a page with a link to a page that had a link to another page with a video of someone cutting 'things' and what was being cut wasn't exactly what they appeared to be.

See for yourself... It's a piece of cake!

I recently got back from a friend's house.
They invited me to a BBQ pool party this afternoon.
Good food, and lots of fun.

On the way back home I stopped by Walmart
and got several things, including some sherbet.

It is NOT pina coloda, as my blog title may have indicated.
It is "Margarita". Not bad. A lemon & lime flavor.
So, if you wanted pina coloda, you're s.o.l.
However, I do have plenty of extra Margarita sherbet, if you hurry.

As always, I have to be completely honest with you.

The reality is, that I have absolutely no idea,

what I actually ate tonight.

I can tell you this, it was very good.

Moments ago, I just went back and looked at the label, after I wolfed the meal down tonight.

I was very hungry after softball practice.

The label said something like Josh Rogan Vindaloo.

Now, I do know that vindaloo in Indian cooking has something to do with extra spicy.

And the dish was nice & spicy And clearly, it was Indian cooking.

I bought it from a reputable place. So, I sincerely hope and trust,

that eating this meal was not cannilbalism.

I hope Josh did not fall into the pot.

However, if that was the case, he certainly had......

good taste.

Stuffed clams for dinner tonight. Yum !

Now it's time for "very berry" pie (a mix of raspberry, blackberry & blueberry).

Someone gave me yesterday Philippine Delicacy called PUTO came in two flavors cheese and Ube. TWO BOXES was sent me.

I shared one box to my housemates and one box I kept for myself
Today I will marathon eating the All Puto else it will stale!! Mapanis!

...at least at my house. Yours might have been quite different.

On my way home from photographing a baby (bald) eaglet,
I stopped by the grocery store.
There is a store chain here in New Jersey called Shoprite.
For the past year I have been capitalizing on a recent change there.
I noticed the change, when I got back to NJ from Florida last spring.

In the very back of the store they have a sit down eat area.
I suppose some workers in the area go there and eat lunch.
Perhaps it's gotten progressively more popular to do so.
It's a lot cheaper than going to a restaurant, and you don't have to
deal with a waiter nor waitress. So, no tipping needed and you can sit there
as long, or as short as you like, or take out the food too.

At the end of the lunch period, the store has a lot of leftovers.
So, they package about 2 meals (or more) into a plastic containers with a clear plastic lid
and move that to the front of the store, where they have several glass door
refrigeration units 2 to 4, depending upon which store location.

When they move it up there, the containers are at 30% off price.
Then later, they are reduced to 50 % off.
By the time ~ 4:30pm arrives many are at 70% off.
So, after I am done doing whatever I am doing that day,
I stop by Shoprite and get 4 containers once a week.

Thus, for the past year I have been literally feasting on gourmet meals for a song
and other than heating that dinner up in the microwave, I haven't cooked 1 dinner
in over a year.

When I get home I freeze 3 of the 4 packages and use the other for dinner that night & usually the next night. The second day I also move the second package from the freezer section to the refrigerated section and repeat that each 2 days. This then takes care of 8 dinners for the week. I got 4 packages earlier tonight.

At random I stuck 3 packages in the freezer and the one I tried tonight is (Indian) Butter Chicken. It was sooooooooooooo good, that I ate both meals AND I took
5 pieces of 100% whole wheat bread and sopped up every last drop of the sauce
and ate those too:

I guess I better pull out one of the other containers for tomorrow night......once I can move again.

I just looked up the recipe for you;

No ! I didn't eat the robin.

This evening I wolfed down several turkey breast slices with honey-mustard, mashed potatoes with butter, 1/2 a sliced red bell pepper & shredded red leaf lettuce drizzled with Balsamic vinegar.

For dessert it was a chocolate brownie.

I hope your dinner was good too.

I just took recycling outside. 'My' robin, nesting ontop the front porch light,
flew from the nest to a short nearby tree, as usual, when I opened the front door.
But oddly, she didn't chirp this time.

Perhaps the lack of sun today had something to do with that.
Or maybe our front porch 'dance' is becoming 'old hat' to her.
Perhaps I should sing as I exit to spice things up.

While at the store thought I'd purchase a six pack of the pop just to see how it tasted so I bought some tonight to give it a try.It didn't taste to awfully bad.
