Dollar Tree Dining #6

This Teriyaki Chicken dish was really tasty. At first, I wasn’t sure if I liked it as much as the other amazing Dollar Tree dishes that I’ve tried… but it might have been psychological, because I noticed it had pineapple in it… I am not always the biggest fan of pineapple… I don’t want it…

Dollar Tree Dining #5

Why am I so obsessed with Dollar Tree?! A few times a month, my partner and I go to the nearby Dollar Tree, grab one of their shopping carts, and fill it up with fun foods. Often, a few impulse snacks will end up in our cart for the way home: Dollar Tree has the…

Talking ’bout my country generation

The generational breakdowns that the media has created are very arbitrary — Silent Generation, Boomers, Gen-X, Millennials, Gen-Z. These divisions only fit a certain segment of liberals, while leaving out much of America. The goal of this post is to rewrite the American generations, using popular tastes in country music as the defining factor: The…

Dollar Tree Dining #4

Popeye would be proud! $3 for a delicious somethin’ sort of dinner. Protein. No guarantees that it’s dolphin safe, but it tasted good. All the gluten. Vitamins C and K.. Love me some hard consonants. Netflix and chill, spinach, and tuna. And enough rolls left over for breakfast tomorrow. La’ Chaim, my friends.

Dollar Tree Dining #3

A Dollar Tree exclusive: My breakfast today included both the best cornbread I’ve ever had, and cheddar jalapeno chicken sausage. There was no mechanically-separated chicken in this sausage! The cornbread muffins were really good! With a big, thick, chewy muffin top! Just like every woman wants! Keep scrolling, and there might be a recipe… Well,…

Dollar Tree Dining #2

My next experience with Dollar Tree Dining was a bean and cheese burrito with a side of steamed rice cauliflower. This was an easy, well-balanced, and cost-effective way to get an excellent, big, vegetarian meal for a great price. And, it was pretty. It was delicious, nutritious, and fast to make. Try it at home!…

Dollar Tree Dining #1

The Dollar Tree has a huge degree of amazingness! To showcase this magnificence, I have established a blog segment that I’m calling, “Dollar Tree Dining!” Don’t expect gourmet, but it will be yummy! Dollar Tree Dining Incident #1, Friday, January 18: I ate this in a parking lot before going to see music. I forgot…

Unique Instinct

I’m still pontificating on originality. I hate being normal, and doing the common thing. If it becomes trendy (spark joy?) then I am immediately turned off. When I was younger, it was very important to strike out and be “unique.” These days, “relevancy” is much more meaningful than standing out. However, while I’m standing alone…

Spoonful of Famous

I’ve been thinking about the skewed relationship between famous people and their fans: a singer or a movie star can say something that resonates with you, and suddenly you feel like you “relate” to them back. But it’s not reciprocated – they might affect your life greatly, but they don’t know who you are! I’ll…

Maybe it’s Time for a Bonfire!

I have been thinking recently about originality – how can I be an original thought provoker, and not just a consumer of content? These thoughts have been motivated by a recent purge – I have been getting rid of possessions, and when I came upon a pile of my old journals, I wasn’t sure if…
