"Waiting for the Interurban," by Richard Beyer in Fremont, WA with added scarf by an unknown individual.
Driving around Seattle earlier this week, I saw a scarf wrapped around a popular sculpture in Fremont that looked suspiciously like the one that belongs to Doctor number 4. Being a fan of Doctor Who, seeing this immediately cheered me up! It has been very cold here the past couple of days, so I think it may have also been some comment about the weather as well. It was an awesome site to see. The Doctor will take care of you!
Now who wrapped up these people waiting? Was it the Doctor himself?
I also saw something else pretty neat that same day. Here is a big hint: click here to see! :) I really wish I could have taken a photo, but it was going one direction, and I was driving the opposite way. I could not help but smile when I saw it.
I was at the gas station, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw the word "Tabasco." Being a fan of Tabasco sauce, I looked to see what the product was. "'McIlhenny Co.Tabasco Brand Spicy Chocolate?' Weird..." I thought. Then later, I went back and bought some. I like Tabasco, I like chocolate. I should like Tabasco Chocolate.
I came home with three small pieces. I guess normally the product is sold in large, round tins, I must have bought the "fun size." After listening and reading some reviews, I wondered if I had made a mistake. One reviewer said, "It tastes like charcoal." He said it was spicy, but did not taste like chocolate. Maybe I had a different batch.
I opened the package, and carefully put a small part of the piece in my mouth. It had some heat, like Tabasco always does. The chocolate had a nice flavor, and it was definitely dark chocolate. It tasted real fresh, and nice. Spicy chocolate. Yummy. I give it 4 or 5 out of 5 stars.
I was also thinking, since it is Valentine's Day tomorrow, that you could buy some of these, put them on a paper heart, that says, "You're Hott, Valentine!" Then, give them to that special someone, or maybe some random hottie. No? Oh well, it was worth suggesting.
Another product I tried recently was the "Slushy Magic." I found it at the store, and was abnormally excited, like a little kid, over this. I had not seen the commercials or any reviews, but the box made it seem cool. After I brought it home, I felt a bit of buyer's remorse. It comes with a cup, a lid, a spoon-straw, and what looks like ice-cube shaped implants!
I decided to go on YouTube, to maybe see the commercial for this item I purchased, and the first one I found was a kid showing how to use the product. He gave really good information on how to use the product. Like, you may want a towel nearby. He did not have one in his video, but he was sure right about that. The lid does have a small hole in it, but that is not the problem. The lid for the cup, does not seal enough to keep the liquid from running out on the sides! I find that to be a terrible design! Another thing, was when he was done, he took the "magic cubes" out, and showed how much slushy it actually makes. I was immediately disappointed about that. It only winds up being 1/3-1/2 of the cup itself, which is hardly worth the effort. I was also disappointed with the texture. From the photo, it seems like the ice would have a fine texture, like a regular slushy. I found mine to be rather chunky. I also found the flavor rather tasteless. I figured since no real ice-cubes were added, that at least the flavor would be stronger. I was wrong. I had watched other videos of people reviewing this product, and it was obvious that they did not follow the directions. Some of them did not freeze the "magic cubes" all the way, so they did not get it very "slushy." They also did not shake it long enough. I did do mine right, I was just disappointed in it. The next day, I tried the same thing, but with a blender. I still did not quite get the results I wanted, but it was much closer to it than the "Slushy Magic" could ever do. This might be a fun gift for a kid to do, but for an adult, I can only rate it 1 out of 5 stars.
Here is the kid's demonstration and review that I watched on YouTube. He is awesome. I give him 5 out of 5 stars.
