May get some chips and queso or perhaps the holy trinity (queso, guacamole, and salsa).

that sounds delightful! er, the queso/guac/salsa trifecta, that is. enjoy!!

I ordered lunch in today, including a root beer float. Ice cream maybe doesn't fix everything but it helps!

unaluna · Nov 06, 2020 at 04:49 PM

Root beer floats are the best!

Gotta say, an A&W fountain float in an icy mug... mmm!

Una, as a Michigander, do you also enjoy the occasional Vernors float?

I have to say, i never have! And i prefer Canada Dry ginger ale. Vernors bites my nose. And it looks uh shall we say too freudian for me!

Esther has to stay at the vet hospital until at least 6 PM. We can check with them after that. That's when they are going to give her more insulin. They got her evened out but I guess they want to see what happens on her next dose. It's hard to be patient. I want her to be okay and I also want my kitty cat! I have to remind myself that she is in a good place (I hope--never used their services before) and that she is getting good care (again, I hope) and that she's going to be better for being there.

I thought Vernor’s was supposed to make you sneeze...

And is the ice cream in the root beer float Blue Moon?

That sounds like a completely disgusting combination. But maybe gluten free?

unaluna · Nov 06, 2020 at 09:19 PM

Never heard of blue moon til now.

No, soft serve vanilla with a&w. So the pop gets in all the nooks n crannies.

Now i need some anws. Good thing i have a crystal lite version.

The real problem is I don’t like root beer.

I thought Blue Moon was like the Michigan ice cream? 2ex was always looking for it when he went home.

I dislike root beer a lot. I have made it before from roots etc. That part was fun but it still tasted like root beer - so I gave it all away.

NP_Complete · Nov 06, 2020 at 10:19 PM

More root beer for me then! Yum.

Have you tried cream soda?

unaluna · Nov 06, 2020 at 10:22 PM

My mother hated root beer. Oh, i should answer the pc best soda poll - Faygo Rock & Rye. Or Towne Club Red Pop.

I never did find out what rock n rye means, but it is delicious. Its brownish red. Maybe like a cherry cola.

Eta - yes on cream soda.

Another favorite is diet chocolate pop. Yummm. Canfields i think.

ArtieTheSequal · Nov 06, 2020 at 10:33 PM

i did not know there was such a thing. that might just get me drinking soda again if i ever run across it!!

stopdog · Nov 06, 2020 at 10:34 PM

Really the only carbonated drinks I like are coke, club soda/seltzer water, and beer. We would have floats every so often made with coke or nehi for my sibling. I was not all that keen. I preferred my ice cream separate from my drink.

I get myself a 4-pack every birthday if I can find it and that’s it for the year.

Virgil’s is the best.

I never had nehi, but it keeps being an answer in the NYT crosswords.

The grossest soda? Irn-Bru in Scotland. Bubble gum flavor.

unaluna · Nov 06, 2020 at 10:48 PM

Ne-hi. You need the dash. Hey i just got it!

My mothers favorite pop or ice cream was black cherry, so i didnt want to mention it. But now that the ice has been picked...

Mountain dew - i always see as new pop. Just googled it - became modernized in 1969, the Moon landing. Google is so good. It validates my quirks.
