I was shopping at Sam's yesterday and noticed they had the Caribou bars, two flavors...vanilla latte and something else. I ended up not getting them, but now I'm reconsidering, so they are really good?

What are you doing with the broken emu shells?

Number one thing I miss about memphis/cordova- Bombay House. Oh... for just a mouthful of anything from their buffet...even the tandori chicken

DragonCon sounds fun, some year when I'm not convinced if I leave my house will blow down trapping my family who wouldn't be smart enough to leave if I didn't insist (totally wrong, they would leave, it's just this weirdness that has attacked me since Katrina, because I need a new phobia) I am so going/coming to it.

The broken shells are for me -- I want to try my hand at carving emu shells, but I figure there's no sense in ruining several whole shells while I just learn how to use the tools... so we're getting some broken shell pieces for me to stab at and practice on without ruining anything. Then later I can get some whole shells and try the real deal.

That is so interesting. Happy carving!

The Caribou bars come in vanilla and something with chocolate. The first one only seemed iffy to me, but since then, they have seemed really tasty. So, either I got a bad one first thing out of the gate, or they make them with HEROIN. You are free to decide for yourself :)

Also, holy crap, DragonCon. From where you're at, it'd only be a 7- or 8-hour drive, too. You could take Jim and the boys with you, even...

I don't know about the hubster unit, but the sons would be crazy about it.

You could send Jim off to do something boring for a weekend, then. :)

I could leave him here and not pester him to play with me when he is trying to do house mr. fixit stuff, believe me, for him, it would be a vacation- of sorts.
