Mini Chocolate Cornet

I've been getting random hits on my chocolate cornet photo on Flickr.

I didn't realize until I was working on BEI's titles that らきすた has a thing about chocolate cornets. I really don't know how it relates to the show (probably the main character likes it?), but ヲタmust be searching for it on Google or something.

Anyway, I went to Marukai Pacific Market today to buy some 差し入れ forじゅるる's brother who was moving. I went to the bakery to buy some food for ourselves, when I saw a plastic container with miniature versions of their 菓子パン. One of them was a mini chocolate cornet.


Look how tiny it is!


It tasted like a normal chocolate cornet. Except there's less creme compared to the amount of bread, so it's not as sweet. I think I like this ratio much better.

Freebies: Del Taco, Baby Wipes, Monitor Wipes & Cat Food

Once again, I'm digging around for free stuff.

Here's one for the boys:
Del Taco - two free chicken soft tacos + a shake for your birthday
If my birthday didn't pass, I'd sign up for this for my free strawberry shake...

I also requested for free baby wipes (for じゅるる's brother, who's having a baby soon), free monitor wipes, free cat food (for Koge), free cereal & free feminine products.

I forgot to mention that I started getting the freebies in the mail. Apparently Dave laughed at me for getting the freebies... what's wrong with getting a box of Multigrain Cheerios? Or doggie snacks for my cat? Or a packet of Benefiber? I should take photos of them next time.

Gas Station Mishap

I went to fill up gas today.

It was $4.19 a gallon. Much cheaper than earlier in the week when I was returning the rental car.

Anyway, as I was driving out of the gas station I thought,
Hmm... did I go through the motion of screwing in the gas tank cap & closing the lid?

I look at the side mirror to see if the gas tank lid is open.

It's wide open.
Eep!

So I quickly turn off the engine, run out & close the lid.
The gas tank cap was still sitting on the back bumper of my car.

This is the second time I did this at this particular gas station. Last time, I drove 5-6 blocks before someone honked at me about it. By then the gas tank cap had fallen off & I had to ask Dee to buy me a new cap.

But I have an excuse!
When I got out of my car to fill up, there was an icky smell. I saw a box of cat litter that was next to the gas pump, so thought the smell could be coming from that. Although now that I think about it, the cat litter might be kept there for any gas that's spilled on the ground. Anyway, the smell was so intense, I wanted to get back into the car... I think.

Plus I had two boxes of Drumsticks ice cream bar sitting in my car & wanted to get to the office quickly.


PS. They were yummy!
