File under "Carpe Diem"

 An impromptu guac and beer lunch? Yes, please! (Suggested by sweetest B. ...)

Twisted

Giant soft pretzel for the win!

Veggie Delight

 

How pretty is this big ol' salad? (Also delicious...)

Happy Donut Day

 

Alas, we didn't find out about Donut Day until too late, but please enjoy these visits to donut shops past.

Happy International Tea Day

 

...and happy McVitie's Day (every day around here)!

Nebraska: Pie Yum

 

I had hoped to have several pieces of pie in Nebraska, but we only had it on the very first day. And it was delicious!!! (We split a piece.) Below are all of your choices...happy that they defined "a la mode" for us.

Rolling Wieners

 

Even if you enjoy hot dogs--I certainly don't--this is NOT appetizing. And what are "wrapped buns?" (This was in a truck stop, BTW.)

Happy Pi(e) Day

 

A perfectly imperfect mixed berry pie. 

Pump/Kin

 

...bread, that is, for the first day of Fall!

Scenes from the Road

 

Why?

Oh, apparently it's a thing? ("Pickle in a Pouch" is catchier, though...)

Also, why?!?

Again, a catchy brand name...however, I am not too assured about the looks of this particular toilet seat cover dispenser (janky!).

The obligatory Gila Bend gas station dinosaur photo.

And...this. 

Olive Nirvana

 

...at the Sufi International Market; there were other olives in the refrigerated case, too! Yum!!!!

Sunday Report

 

Sometimes you just need Mexican food and a really cold beer...

Yerm

 

These called themselves "cardamom (donut-ish) tea cakes." I think the "donut" part is reflected in the sugary topping, while the end result of the "cake" is rather muffin like. They are quite tasty, whatever they are! 

(And yes, that is a big divot in that one at right up there. The recipe said "pop them out of the muffin tin"--um, there was no "popping" involved, more like trying to use an offset spatula and them shaking them out of the tin. Popping, indeed!
