What is a smoothie bowl? I know what a smoothie is, but... bowl?
This is a smoothie bowl! So basically just a very thick smoothie with toppings...sometimes also called Acai bowl, but since I don't have acai...I can't call mine that...they sell it at places like Jamba Juice and Booster Juice and such...makes for a reasonably healthy breakfast or lunch...It's taking some practice to get the texture right to put the toppings on so they don't just sink into it like soup, takes frozen bananas and not too much liquid...but then it's tough to get the blender to actually blend...so it's a process....but getting there!!
As long as you weren't in the park a few weeks ago when 10,000 people decided to venture out?
OMG no. Funnily enough, I really do like that park (Trinity Bellwoods) and if this was a "normal" summer I would frequent that area for its restaurants and such, and often stroll through there with ice cream after dinner...but, obvs this isn't a normal summer, and so far it's a bit too far from my house to think about going to without access to a bathroom or being able to go into any shops or restaurants etc. But that was insane. I'm quite surprised actually that we haven't seen a huge spike in cases directly linked to that day. I think there probably was some related to it but they aren't doing enough tracing to really know if it came from that, or those idiots that were there aren't getting tested because they now realize how stupid they were....who knows...
At least with the nice weather, I've been able to visit my folks quite a bit. We sit in their back yard, apart.
Yeah I have done that with my parents too. The problem is the whole not wanting to share either food or bathrooms, makes the visits have to be reasonably short. Sigh.
When was your AP supposed to expire?
Funny, I was wondering about that. Originally supposed to expire March 9, 2021, so I imagine it will be good until about July. I was talking to a friend about it this morning. In a way, I'd love to try to go back in 2020 (if our govt lets us) because that way I would have gotten to experience Disney "in the before times" and have pictures of "normal" theme parking etc, and then also in 2020.....masked and socially distanced theme parking...? I can't plan anything right now as you know as a Canadian...but if the stars align...I may try to do a trip in the fall, if anything last minute is even feasible with the new processes etc. Failing that...I'll probably try to go in Jan or Feb...at least then if masks are still needed it won't be quite so hot....
Regarding the AP...when I log into
MDE, it still says my pass expires March 9. I'm assuming this will automatically readjust once the parks are reopened to allow the extra time for the closure? I hope I don't have to call to make that happen....
