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.

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota.  Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north.  Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge.  If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic.  Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing.  The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University.  Caught a bus. Was called the  Century 21 Exposition .  Also the Seattle World's Fair.  10 million joined me on a six-month run.  My first. These a...

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...

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO A JAPANESE HIGH TECH TOILET

Did you know that   Oktoberfest   in Germany is mostly in September?  The very first day of Oktoberfest 2021 was supposed to be today, September 18, extending into October 3.  Well, as in 2020, Oktoberfest was cancelled. So why is it called by that month when it is held mostly in September?  The first celebration in 1810 was in October. Did you also know that Oktoberfest is held only in Munich?  These days seven million drink more than a liter ( about three typical cans ) of beer each, costing around $11.  Except for my wife and I when we followed the crowd to board the S-Bahn to the fairgrounds near Old Town.  It was drizzling a bit.  We bought a large pretzel outside of a typical barn where beer is served.  We did not know that you needed to get this inside the hall.  So no one came to serve us beer.  After a while we decided to have lunch, and the restaurant we settled on only served wine.  Thus, we might have been the ...
