Thursday miscellanea #343

I have enjoyed a pastor who is a capable orator for a long enough time now that I forget how good I have it. It was jarring when I recently watched/listened online to one not quite so blessed for about 20 minutes.
I’ve been enjoying Amazon Prime music, but the stations need work. I’ve encountered a couple that seem to have about three dozen songs total.
I’m excited to be part of Huntsville Restaurant Week’s Food Blogger Tour again this year! Watch for a recap on Rocket City Mom.
Both boys are back in school this year. It’s a significant change for Aaron. He’s doing well so far, though I’m glad this is a short week to ease him in.
I’m trying to make friends with Jason’s Deli. My loathing of the fast casual model is well documented, but the salad bar is quite good, and most of what I hate about fast casual is minimized with a salad bar.
Canada Dry diet tonic water is still sweetened with saccharin (?), and tastes markedly inferior to Publix and Target store brands. Those use sucralose and acesulfame potassium. (Correction: The Target brand uses saccharin as well.) Questions as to whether I can safely consume the amount of quinine in three liters of tonic water daily are surprisingly hard to answer conclusively, but I certainly do like it more than Diet Sprite or Diet 7-Up.
The greatest weekend in sports is less than a month away!
