Donald Duck Orange Juice & Sea Monkeys

I think the title of this post explains it all. I am about to write about Donald Duck orange juice and sea monkeys.

First, Donald Duck Orange Juice:

Donald Duck Orange Juice (No Pulp)

I found this at the grocery store in Blaine, WA near where I get my mail. I’m not a huge OJ drinker, but I mean come on, it’s Donald Duck. It’s not immediately apparent to me the connection between Donald and OJ, but I don’t think it really matters. FYI, it was available in two versions, the regular no pulp seen here and a no pulp with extra calcium. Apparently Donald doesn’t like pulp, but that’s ok because neither do I.

And Sea Monkeys:

Sea Monkeys (No Longer on Mars)

You may remember (or probably not) that I had try to start a sea monkey family before. Actually I tried twice. And failed. Twice. Each time I ended up with only one sea monkey left alive after a week or so. This time looks to be much more successful. Instead of ordering the sea monkey stuff from Amazon I bought them from Walmart, and I gave up on making my sea monkeys live on Mars. It’s only been a week and a half since they hatched, but it looks way more promising then the last times since there are way more than just one sea monkey alive at this point. It’s hard to see in the picture but there are dozens of them in there. And yes, I’ve named most of them. And no, I can’t tell them apart so I might be calling some of them the wrong names.

Cat Bowling!

I’ve discovered a new sport, CAT BOWLING! Isadore the cat is a very lazy and not very playful ragdoll. Trying to get him to be a little more playful I’ve started to bowl him down the hardwood floor. He actually doesn’t seem to mind, after I bowl him he gets up and comes over to be scratched. All I need now are some cat friendly bowling pins.

Cat Bowling with Isadore:

Waffles, Golden Waffles!

Since I got a freaking amazing rotating waffle iron for Christmas I had been scouring the internet looking for the best waffle mix. Well I’m pretty sure I’ve found it.

Here’s the awesome rotating waffle iron I got:

ROTATING Waffle Iron

 

And thanks to Amazon.com I have 3 large containers of Golden Malted Waffle mix:

Golden Malted Waffle Flour

 

Now, I’ll tell you one of the reasons why I think this waffle mix creates the best waffles. One of the ingriedents is MELTED BUTTER! Melted butter is one of the best things on earth. Half the time when I order crab legs or lobster it is simply to eat something that I can dip in melted butter.

To conclude, this a picture of the waffle that I ate for dinner last night:

WAFFLE!

Can’t wait for Florida!

Ok, so I’m still stuck at home. I have 8 more days on crutches, 20 days until my lung surgery, and most importantly only 68 days until I go to Walt Disney World in Florida!

Since I have the time, lately I have been baking my own bread. With my Costco American Express rebate I bought a bread machine:

Sunbeam Bread Machine

I got the bread machine around the middle of February and have already went through I large bag of flour making bread such as this:

Bread!

It tastes so good, much better than store bought bread! I also have made Apple Walnut Bread with apple juice and apple sauce in the recipe, it was also amazing tasting.

This was my lunch today:

Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake from Trade Joes. Only $1.99! It’s hard to tell in the photo but it’s pretty big, big enough that you wouldn’t believe that it’s only $1.99. It tastes so good!

Let’s see what else. I also got a new bonsai tree a couple of months ago. I had one before but it died while I was staying at my Dad’s house after the car wreck. So I found a new one at Safeway.

Bonsai!

Hopefully this one will live a while…

And what I’m looking forward to the most… Disney World!
I will be spending 7 nights in sunny Orlando Florida. I have been to Disneyland 3 times in the past 18 months and have had so much fun there, Disney World is like 10 times larger so we should have about 100 times more fun. I can’t wait!

Dr Pepper Showdown: Dublin vs Heritage!

Well today I got some:

Pepsi Throwback

And some:

Mountain Dew Throwback

I have no idea why they show a cowboy with a hat shooting moonshine jug on the packaging, I’m assuming they are trying to equate the high caffeine content of Mountain Dew to the kick moonshine.

And last, but not least:

Heritage Dr Pepper

Now, you may remember last post I was talking about ordering some Dublin Dr Pepper. Last week I received my order of Dublin Dr. Pepper and I can say that it tastes pretty damn good. But how does it taste compared to Heritage Dr Pepper? I have no clue, the Heritage is still cooling in my fridge, I’m not drinking warm soda. I’ll update this post tomorrow when I actually drink some.

UPDATE: I tried some Heritage Dr Pepper, and it tastes remarkably similar. If anything it is maybe a little too sweet compared to the Dublin Dr Pepper. Either way, they both taste good.

For closing, here’s a shot of the different cans of real sugar soft drinks that are currently inside my refrigerator:

L to R: Heritage Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew Throwback, Pepsi Throwback, and Dublin Dr Pepper

All that awesome sugar!

I also got a new deep fryer today, but that’s a post for another day…
