RETURN OF THE PINK SAUCE

Just when you thought you were safe, TikTok introduced the PINK SAUCE.  What, never heard of it?

  • This mystery sauce is the color of vibrant fuchsia, and costs $20/bottle.
  • The TikTok tag #pinksauce has drawn more than 100 million viewers.
  • Created by Miami Chef Pii, also known as Veronica Shaw.
  • First appearance was in June of this year.
  • Here is her web page.
  • Has been described as bubblegum buttermilk ranch from feeding a blender some combination of dragonfruit, sunflower seed oil, chili, honey and garlic.
  • One complaint is that the FDA hasn't accredited it.
  • A whole bunch of problems when she tried to sell it.  Watch this controversy.
  • After all that, the return is that she is becoming rich, now having natural foods seller DavesGourmetSauce producing it.

Not much of a subject, but got other things to do.  So let me add an alert that Wednesday could be a fatal day for the Ukraine War:

  • August 24 is the 31st Day of Independence of Ukraine from Russia.
  • Also, this day marks 6 months since the invasion.
  • Russia accused Ukraine of assassinating Darya Dugina.
  • All public gatherings are banned.

Later this week, the NCAA men's football and women's volleyball seasons begin.  The championship games will be played on 9 January 2023 in SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California for football, and Omaha, Nebraska on December 17 for volleyball.

I'll close with the 50's.  No, one more of Donald Trump with the Honeymooners.

THE ENIGMATIC PHIL SPECTOR

The first presidential debate of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ended up in a near tie.  Both lost.  However, it was an unmitigated disaster for Biden, who just might be too old to win this re-election. For Trump, it was a reinforcement of what he does all the the time, lie.   There will be significant calls for the Democratic Party to work out "something" to replace Biden as their presidential candidate.  Suddenly, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama are added to the spotlight.  But what can "legally" occur at the August Democratic Convention? The situation is different on the Republican side, as Trump is the Republican Party, and no matter if he gets 4 years at his felony sentencing on July 9, or even if the Supreme Court determines he is not immune next week or later, he will be the presidential candidate. Trump is a damned boastful liar and convicted felon, but that is the only option for Republicans.  His vice-presidential choice now become...

THE TRUMP ENERGY PROGRAM

From  Time  magazine, I begin with a slew of Trump topics.  You can read the details. The unpopular Big Beautiful Bill is now in the House . The only truly effective anti-Trump person:  Elon Musk. The Trump Gaza ceasefire proposal . The July 4th Free American Anti-Trump Protest planned across the USA . This site began as a renewable energy and environment blog, and has evolved to just about any subject.  I try to keep Wednesdays for sci-tech, with perhaps a monthly focus on energy.  More recently, I've drawn from the  Energy Matters  info sent to me by the American Energy Society.  I'm inserting direct quotes this time to eliminate my predilections for more credibility. This service starts with some broad topics. - Fossil fuels: Helium is locked in a supply crunch, and prices are surging. - Renewables: Congress will probably pass new renewable fuel standards for 2026 and 2027. - Policy: President Trump is now focused on Califor...

OSAKA EXPO: Day One

Well, the day finally came for us to go to the Osaka Expo.  We were told ahead of time that the long walks would be fearful, giant lines will need to be tolerated just to get into the Expo, with those ocean breezes, it would really be cold, and so forth. Maybe it was pure luck, but we avoided all the above warnings  We had a grand day, and are looking forward to Sunday, our second day at the Expo.  So come along for an enjoyable ride. Our hotel is adjacent to the Tennoji Station, a very large one with several lines.  We upgraded our Suica card and caught the Misosuji red line towards Umeda. Transferred to the Chuo green line at the Hommachi Station.  This Osaka Metro train took us to the Yumeshima Station at the Expo site.   It was a very large mob leaving the train and heading to the entrance. Took only a few minutes to get to the entrance.  This mob was multiplied by at least a factor of  ten of those already waiting to enter.  However...
