Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile)

 This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra:

The heck is THAT??!?!?!!

What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not happy about this little extra BONUS at all! 

 So, she put all 3 of the FREE bagels back in their bag and took them right back to the vendor. They quickly told her it was a piece of BURLAP not WEAVE. Hmm, that makes it all better, huh? Well, it just makes me wonder where the BURLAP came from and what was it doing chilling on the bagels?? Did they offer her a refund? Uh, nope - the bagels were free. Did they offer her an apology and free bagels for life? Maybe she will comment and let us know...

 My friend asked me if I was still going to eat my FREE bagels. Luckily, I had already had breakfast so this wasn't a big factor for me. Will I eat the ones I have?? Probably. Will I be UBER-cautious before toasting and eating the bagel?? Abso-freaking-lutely!!! 

 Un-be-WEAVE-able!!!!

    After viewing some similar burlap pics unfortunately I have concluded that the piece of so called burlap is really a piece of cheap hair that was then tempted to be some sort of Senegalese twist of a braid...eewwwww smh Thanks for the laugh Mackgurl

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
