Great Vietnamese Cold Brew
Man, this was good stuff!
Although I am not sure about the reference to a "bioengineered food ingredient."
Oh wait, I think I'm turning into Spider-Man! ;-)

Nalgene Bottle Lights
Who knew that Nalgene bottles could be used as light fixtures.
What a colorful display.
Creates a little mood lighting for that cool shopping experience.
And inside is a water bottle for every adventure.
Simply unscrew the bottle to change the light bulb. ;-)

Chocolate Tiger Sugar
Wow, that was a treat!
Tiger Sugar: brown sugar boba bubble tea with fresh cream and streaked with syrup.
This one was the chocolate malt version.
You can see the bobas floating at the bottom.
Watch out Starbucks, Tiger Sugar is gonna eat your lunch! ;-)

Frozen and Delicious
It's frozen and delicious.
Packs some oomph!
And the flower tops it off as beautiful. ;-)

Happy Chairs
These Margaritaville chairs are really happy.
Sunshine, palm trees, swimming pool, and a nice cold drink on a hot day.
The chairs say:
It's five o'clock somewhere.
But definitely not here in Florida where it's party all the time! ;-)

Butterfly Mug
Thought this was a beautiful butterfly mug.
Rainbow wings and hand painted.
There is always another mug whether you drink coffee or not. ;-)

Sounds Refreshing
Great sign for the Pablo Picasso drink.
If you have too much, do you feel like the guy pictured here?
Maybe people need to feel this way sometimes (especially when the world looks like it's going to hell). ;-)

Royal Tibetan Teapot
Brass Tibetan Teapot.
With silver dragon spout and handle.
I bet the tea tastes better from it any day of the week. ;-)

She can do one drink or two at a time! ;-)

Dog Likes Starbucks
Dog(s) like Starbucks coffee.
And people like (dog) biscuits.
What's the world coming to? ;-)

Colorful Drinking
That's an "absolut"ely friendly-looking bottle of vodka.
You drink it one ribbon at a time? ;-)

Alcohol Coaster Set
Cool alcoholic coaster set.
Different colors for different booze.
Wine is fine, but liquor is quicker!
What's your poison? ;-)

Election + Covid = Alcohol
Between this election and Coronavirus, how can any of us truly be feeling?
This old bottle of wine is looking mighty fine to me about now.
Sometimes, we all need something for the pain!
And this election and the plague has been nothing but painful.
The question is drink it now or hold it for tomorrow night. ;-)

Card Ya
Thought this was novel in the store.
They have a digital calendar with the date from 21 years ago.
It says:
Ah, easy to match the DOB on the I.D. presented to the date on the calendar.
Nothing to calculate, no mistakes.
They raised the age for smoking (cigarettes and vaping) in Maryland to 21 on October 1, so it's the same requirement as for drinking alcohol.
Luckily for me (even though I'm over 21), I don't really do either--definitely not the smoking, and the drinking limited primarily to the Kiddush prayer on Shabbat. ;-)

Is Beer A Color?
So thought this was an interestingly funny flip chart.
It's titled "Colors".
And it has the typical ones you'd expect: blue, red, green, yellow, orange, purple, black, white, grey, brown, and tan.
But thrown into the mix is beer (and Summer)--maybe these go together!
Perhaps, someone had a little too much beer when asked about colors.
On second thought, maybe beer is a color. ;-)

Best Cup Of Tea
- Cinnamon
- Lemon
- Ginger
- Mint
What's so great is you can actually see the cinnamon stick, mint leaves, and lemon and ginger slices.
It's completely fresh and healthy, and not just from a tea bag or minced up tea in a tin.
To me, this looks absolutely appetizing and delicious!
Usually, I'm a Snapple Iced Tea type of a guy, but for sure, I'd go for some this fresh tea from Israel...L'Chaim! ;-)

The Yom Kippur Diet Plan
So Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar is a 25-hour day of repentance, prayer, and fasting.
This last Yom Kippur, someone mentioned to me that some people take the idea of fasting and apply it to dieting during the year by doing a 3-day fasting.
Uh, that sounds pretty severe and maybe even a little dangerous.
But it got me thinking that on Yom Kippur we fast for a day and then eat a meal, so why not do that daily for dieting.
Just subsist on one main meal a day--basically limiting intake of food to a few hours in the evening.
This made sense to me as a moderate way that I could stay focused and disciplined without any food for about 20 hours at a time, but still give myself something to look forward to with a proper, natural dinner--almost like a natural give and take that I believe I could live with (at least for a good while).
I thought let me give this a try!
And I did.
First without drinking or eating.
Then I rethought this after a few days and getting parched, and said just drink zero-calorie drinks, but no food or caloric intake during the day until the meal at the end of the day.
And I've been doing this now since Yom Kippur 2 weeks ago.
I have actually lost almost 10 pounds in that time and feel great.
It hasn't been hard--except for one day when the synagogue had a mega Bar Mitzvah kiddish/luncheon and I sat there and didn't have a thing!
But otherwise, I go to work and all my activities, including working out--sometimes twice a day--and without any food.
It seems to be working.
While previously, I stayed completely off any carbs, and still gained weight--now, I allow myself to eat everything (kosher) at dinner and am losing!
I wonder if I am on to something with this new "Yom Kippur Diet."
I pray to Hashem that I've discovered something good and healthy here and am committed to seeing it through.

Everyone Drinks
So this is a water fountain on steroids.
Not 1, not 2, but 3 drinking spouts.
Adults, children, and even pets can all get theirs.
And at the same time...no one goes thirsty!
So simple, yet why make people wait and take turns.
Drink everyone, drink to efficiency. ;-)
