Snake, snaaaaaake!!

DC area checking in. They are super popular right now, especially roasted or deep fried. Fortunately, I haven’t seen anyone serving the boiled nasties my mom used to make…

All hail Queen Pepper!

Hey, it’s the only thing I remember from linear algebra! That’s the longest living sheep ever.

Neat! Looks like you are under the ocean.

Yeah, I’m glad they left that one active.

That’s a very beautiful photo. Any idea how cold the water is? Looks like it would be freezing.

I love the bunny kicks. They are so dangerous, but so adorable…

Taffy is very cute! Is that belly a trap, or can you pet it?

Kitty!!

Maybe you could make a mayonnaise cake? https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7423/mayonnaise-cake-i/

Ooh, I forgot about Sheetz. They used to have good breakfast sandwiches. I’ve never made it to a buc-ees, but I’ve heard good things.

Yeah, most of them do double duty with a shop inside. The snacks and drinks usually have a high markup, but there aren’t a lot of free-standing minimarkets except for a few 7-11s.

Then there’s Wawa, which is the weird outlier. :) I think they sell gas as a side business. The inside is all about getting food.

Thanks!!

That’s really pretty. What beach were you at?

How do you tell them apart? They were very cute kittens.

Philly!! Looks great.

Cool! Post a picture if you make one. It’s a little fiddly at the end, but fun and quick to make.

I used a random scrap of some terrible thick stuff from joann’s. My advice would be to use a thinner piece of Aida or evenweave, or make a bigger rectangle. The corners were really difficult to squish shut.

Interesting to know about the origin of the word. I read somewhere that it is based on the shape of a candy, but I’ve never seen ones like that.

The shape reminds me of the little cardboard orange juice containers I had in elementary school. :)
