Their diet ginger ale is divine, which I can’t say about most diet ginger ales.

Blenheim Ginger Ale ProductsHave you had Blenheim’s ginger ale? It will change your life. It is spicy in a good way.

OMG, you made me literally guffaw. I love you now. I needed to laugh so badly tonight after a horrible work day that doesn’t seem to want to end.

Definitely a rough day. And my kiddos are visiting family out of town, so I have no junk food in the house, of course.

I’ve had a really rough day at work and now I just want ALL THE CHEESE (Swiss or otherwise), and the saved bread, and the crispy, and the crunchy, and the red. And somehow fried pickles sound delicious even though I’ve never had them. And the olives that the idiot relative of some commenter thought would taste like…

Do you?

See, I’m STILL IN THE GREYS PINKHAM! Do something about this situation at once!

OMG, this commenter asked me if I enjoyed being an a-hole when I commented something like “and so it begins” on the Swiss cheese thread. I thought I was being targeted by aliens for a second. I’m so glad I checked back on the whole thread because what I said was so mild to be called an a-hole there.

Except ginger ale when you are sick. I am a hardcore diet coke, diet dr pepper fanatic, but when I’m sick only real ginger ale or sprite (grudgingly if no ginger ale is available) does the trick. I’m not even talking about only tummy illnesses. Colds count, too. However, regular colas (Coke or Pepsi) or Mountain…

Diet Dr Pepper followed closely by Diet Coke. Diet Coke is more widely available, so it wins by default. ;)

Thank you for explaining! I swear, I was sincere and not thinking you were a snob or a jerk. I am not a teacher and can’t even fathom the problems you faced in educating children. Just like texts and emails, it can be difficult to infer tone in blog posts. I was actually interested in hearing how you incorporated the…

I’m actually very interested to know how this helped you teach. Seriously and not at all sarcastic. I would imagine it’s very difficult to figure out different ways to bring out the strengths of kids with such different backgrounds. I know you know this, but someone saying Velveeta might be one of the smartest kids in…

It’s a burnt offering to the Vegetina, the goddess of USDA certified organic vegetables, of course.

Starred for “onion tentacle rape topping.”

I just said, “So I guess you don’t want them.” and then I took them away and didn’t visit his table for 10 minutes.

And it starts...

Darn you, you beat me to it!

He’s allergic to red. Duh!
