    slo’s FRIDAY 4/19 poll - Green Olives vs Black Olives

    I'm an olive fan. The only way I haven't liked them is stuffed with blue cheese ... because I hate blue cheese, not because of the olive. I like them in salads, on pizza, the canned black ones specifically on tacos. We also have an olive bar at our store. Sometimes I get them there...

    You have 24 hours to spend at your favorite place; Where would it be?

    I think I would choose a brand new place. We only get so many opportunities to travel, and I want to see as much as I can. Maybe Marrakesh, or a remote mountainous area of Kyrgyzstan ... something a bit out of my comfort zone and not somewhere I would likely plan a more lengthy trip...

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/16 poll - Jelly Donuts

    I love jelly doughnuts, they are my top pick. I like the kind with a bit of sugar on the outside, but not the powdered sugar, the granulated. Like the ones in the first picture. If I'm getting two the 2nd will be a maple frosted. Might have them a couple of times a year.

    If you could wake up and your current home was magically now somewhere else in the world, where would it be?

    Maine, Pacific NW, Canada, or somewhere in Scandinavia.

    Would you ever go on a Disney Cruise?

    Yes, been on 3. Never thought we would be cruise people, and definitely aren't fanatic about it ... it's for sure not going to be my only vacation type. I do find the DCL Caribbean itineraries to be too repetitive, and way too many 3-4 night cruises. I'm not going to all that trouble for...

    Pre Vacation Nerves/Jitters?

    I definitely get it, and it's worse the further away / longer we're going. It's not exactly fear anxiety though, it's more of a restless antsy feeling, like I need to pace around. For me it's the waiting time, when everything is pretty much packed and ready to go except what has to wait...

    Places to visit that are not miserably hot in August?

    We also love Somebody Feed Phil!! The Iceland episode was wonderful. We loved our trip there several years ago, late August / early September. Some days were pretty chilly and needed a jacket. A few days we could have short sleeves. We even saw some faint northern lights despite it...

    Disney World Hot Takes

    Same here! Sometimes if I want a bit of Disney I'll pull up youtube and watch it there. And I'll say the lines at random moments. "Because of their claws? No! Because they're macaws!" "All this celebrating has angered the gods!" I think it's because when the kids were really...

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/2 poll - Breakfast Meats 🥓

    I picked Other. I don't eat meat other than seafood, but I love some of the plant based sausages. I will heat a couple of those up to have with pancakes, or to put on a biscuit. Fake chicken biscuit is also good. Fake bacon is harder. I like the morningstar version for taste, but it...

    Share your "small joys" of cruising!

    Early morning time grabbing a coffee and walking around the deck before many are up. Enjoying a drink on the balcony as we sail away, and the moment you feel & notice the ship moving. Walking/running the loop on deck 4. Getting to Cabanas when they open for breakfast, enjoying a bite at...

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    Just horrible. I have never enjoyed traveling over large bridges for fear of something like this. I feel terrible for the people involved, but thank goodness it was not during morning rush commute!

    Stacy's Pita Chips

    Yes, we like them here too! Especially the fire roasted jalapeno!

    Scary sounding terror attack in Moscow

    I think in the 90s there was something in a theater in Russia, but it was like a siege and they were keeping hostages for several days. Had to do with Russia attacking Chechnya.

    slo’s FRIDAY 3/22 poll - Seafood Tacos 🌮

    I love seafood tacos, shrimp or fish. I never understood why fish, shrimp, crab, etc. aren't considered meat to some. It's the flesh of an animal. If it's not meat, what is it?

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/20 poll - Disney Parks Snacks 🥨 🍦🍗

    Actually the one I wanted to keep is already gone ... the Jalapeno Pretzel! So I'll keep the Mickey Pretzel instead. But to be honest, we didn't get many snacks last time we were there. The lines were always so long at snack places and if I'm going to wait 20+ minutes in a line, I...

    3 year old developmental concerns. Please Advise

    Look into a pediatric occupational therapist (in addition to keeping up the speech therapy). Regardless of any diagnoses, they can evaluate and provide therapy for your concerns if they think it's necessary or helpful.

    If you’re not a tv watcher…

    We aren't home most evenings until 8-9. Exercise classes & kids activities mostly. So then by the time I shower & scroll on the phone/computer a bit, I'm headed to sleep.

    What are you planning to do for St. Patrick's Day?

    I always intend to cook something fitting the day, but then I never usually get to it. Would love to make a lentil shepherd's pie - maybe I can do that this year since it's on a weekend. Will also be drinking beer (as is normal on the weekends), but not Irish beer. Only IPAs for me...
