Matzos Discrepancy

I just can't wrap my head around this price gap - I simply can't process it!

5 x 1lb boxes of matzos at Hannaford costs $10.99, and the same item costs $4.99 at Market Basket? How is this possible?

Wrong Drink

I know this looks like a science experiment, but it's a ginger-lemon-turmeric drink I recently made from a recipe in a magazine. I liked the effect, and tried to capture it, but the turmeric was dropping fast.


Though not bad, this 'good-for-you' drink definitely looks more delectable than it tastes. It was not the recipe I'd meant when I asked my husband to scan it for me, though both were ginger based.


The drink my taste buds were hoping for was the one called "SPARKLING TANGAWIZI" which I have since found and kept for a later date.

Hardegat

In South Africa, we use the Afrikaans word "hardegat" or more colloquially 'harregat' (pronunciation: /ˈhɑːdəxat/, /hardəxat/) to describe someone being hard-nosed, tough, stubborn or obstinate. The literal translation would be hard ass. Here's me owning being 'hardegat," as I insist on hanging my laundry outside despite the howling, icy winds and a 'feels-like' temperature of 20°F (-6.7°C)


Dressed warmly because

I'm hanging laundry outside

I love it that way


It's thirty four F

The winds are strong and icy -

It feels like twenty!

Once inside, I warmed

My frozen fingers around

A mug of coffee


Laundry might be stiff

And also need some thawing 

Once it's back indoors!
