Undiluted Drinks

So, this week has been full of undiluted drinks. Well, two actually, but how many times do you expect to get an undiluted drink in a year? That's what I thought. Anyway, my dear hubby, in an effort to keep our milk from disappearing so quickly mixed up a frozen white grape juice concentrate. Well, at his work the pitchers are twice as big as here. So he put two cans of concentrate in... and four cans of water. Now I don't know how familiar any of you are with juice concentrate, but you usually need three cans of water per can of concentrate, and that multiplied by two doesn't fit in our pitchers. So we had to take a few sips at a time until it was low enough to add more water, which we just did, and it tastes fine.

But that was only the first event. A day or two ago my hubby had some extra cash in his wallet and we went to a restaurant called Sconecutters. It's some really good food, but that night they forgot to add a bit more carbonated water to their root beer syrup, and boy was that sweet stuff. Too sweet. I didn't finish it that night and just added some water to it the next morning. It was already flat, so what's the difference? It tasted ok. I don't mind flat soda. Strangely, Tyson's Dr. Pepper was too weak. They must have got all mixed up and diluted something that didn't need it. Well, those are my adventures so far this week. And since tomorrow's Valentine's Day, happy Valentine's Day everybody!

Now I lay me down to rest
A pile of books upon my chest
If I should die before I wake
That's one less test I'll have to take

For some strangely odd reason, your story reminds me of a pudding incident that occurred three weeks ago. It began as a lovely day at the Ogden institute. I had finished a class and met up with some friends afterwards. They were waiting in line for the institute lunch, Navajo tacos. My sweet friends offered to buy me some lunch because I had no money, and I accepted their offer. I got my yummy taco ready, and for dessert, I had pudding. Ahead of the pudding table, there was a table with salsa for the tacos and a large bowl of what I thought was whipped topping for the pudding. So, I put the salsa on my pudding and some "whipped topping" on my pudding. Imagine my surprise upon learning that the white creamy stuff was not whipped topping but was actually sour cream that was supposed to go on the tacos! luckily I learned of this before mixing, so I was able to spoon it out and still enjoy my pudding. A happy ending.
