Relish and Mentos
I was making myself a sandwich for lunch today. It was a salami sandwich with cheese, mustard and yum yum pickles.
I didn't buy the pickles – Dad did when he was here and I thought I would eat them. "They" say that scent is the sense that is tied to memory the most. As I smelt those pickles, it reminded me of a little delicacy I would eat when I was a little kid. Mom would put some sweet relish in a little bowl for me and I'd eat with with my initial-engraved, Gerber baby spoon. The things that kids like, is beyond me. My brother used to LOVE toast with mustard on it.
In other news, I was chatting with my students today trying to fill the time and one of them mentioned that if you put Mentos in a big bottle of Coca-Cola, the mentos will explode and pop out of the top of the bottle!! I must try this! Does anyone want to send me some Mentos? Mint and fruit would be preferable.

I don't have any Mentos to send you, but now I'm dying to know if that is true about the coke bottle.

It's actually diet coke and you need the mint Mentos but it totally works! Next time you're on msn, I'll send you the link for a youtube video with diet coke and mentos.

I never would have thought of giving you a tiny dish of sweet pickle relish all on my own...in fact, I was faintly horrified by the act spooning the lurid green condiment into a bowl. Like ketchup, pickle relish isn't exactly a vegetable. But that's what you wanted...as a side dish with your PB&J sandwich. Kids...*tsk*
