I like the Simply Orange brand, myself. Tropicana Pure Premium is pretty good, too. They are both blends of multiple orange juices. That is the only way they can maintain a consistent flavor over time, all year around. I like mine with "Some Pulp," but you can get a lot of pulp, or no pulp...

Since I have both 100 yards apart, I can choose, and it is always Krispy Kreme, for me -- on the rare occasion that I want a few donuts. I don't buy coffee from either one, so I don't know which one is better. CD

Raw shrimp are naturally a bit tough. It takes a sharp knife to get a clean cut through them. But, if they are REALLY tough, I'm guessing freezer burn dried them out. That's why I repackage them in serving size vacuum seal bags when I buy them. As much as wild-caught Gulf shrimp cost, it's worth...

Interesting side note. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' both have stores in the same shopping center parking lot near me. They are about 100 yards apart. CD

Taxy isn't THAT mean to me. CD

I never remove the casing. I like that "snap" when I bite into a brat. CD

I believe I read that every state gets them. Texas gets the most per year, on average. I've only seen two. One was small and weak down in Port Arthur. The other was an F5 that leveled half of the town we lived at the time in Ohio. It actually started in Indiana, crossed the river into Kentucky...

Reese's Dark Chocolate Mini PB Cups. I don't buy them, because I'll eat them all in one day. Another thing is something I can not get in Texas -- Tastykate Butterscotch Krimpets. I do not have a sweet tooth, and rarely eat sweets, but those two items I can not resist. CD

We need a facepalm emoji. CD

I don't think I have ever heard anyone say anything good about cooking steaks in an air fryer. CD

By the second night, the stars and halos were completely gone. I'm eight days in, now. In six days, I can start doing some work in the yard. The backyard grass is getting pretty long. I need to go to Lowe's and get some new safety glasses. I need to protect my eyes better, and my old ones are...

Do you remember when Boston Market was actually Boston Chicken? CD

Umm, was that before or after cooking? Did they feel tough in your hands raw? Or, did you cook them and bite into one? CD

I've actually heard of that. I've never had it, but I've heard of it. CD

Yeah, the plants will be done by July. They can do a second planting down there once the 100F days are gone -- usually first week in September. But, that is in the peak of Hurricane season, so she doesn't bother. It is predicted to be an active hurricane season this year. CD
