Happy Valentine's Day 2006 ...

Today is Valentine’s Day. Last night Allison and I exchanged out Valentine’s Day gifts. Allison got me seven Kathy Reichs Books and something else that is en route. For Allison I got her The Notebook on DVD. So that means that at some point I am going to have to watch it. Oh well, I am a fan of Ryan Gosling. But that was not all, in addition to that were some nice chocolates and all five flavors of SparX Spicy Cookies.

What are SparX Spicy Cookies? They are gourmet cookies with spices like cayenne, jalapeno, chipotle, and ancho. The five flavors are Chipotle Chocolate Chip, Ancho Oatmeal Raisin, Cayenne Toffee Pecan, Chipotle Double Fudge, and Jalapeno Peanut Butter. We tried the Chipotle Double Fudge and the Cayenne Toffee Pecan last night. The Cayenne Toffee Pecan was awesome. I just wasn’t feeling the love for Chipotle Double Fudge, I’ll have to try a few more with a fresh palate to make a final decision on those ones. I can’t wait to try the rest of the flavors.

I ordered the SparX Spicy Cookies by calling the number on their order page. They have been very busy since a segment on them aired on the Food Network. They’ve been so busy that my order was taken by the president of the company himself Richard Saslaw. He was very nice and got me the cookies in plenty of time for Valentine’s Day. Even with our day early exchange of gifts. Check out SparX Spicy Cookies.

Some side notes:

Notice the Kid’s 180s Ear Warmers. I have a pair in the adult size and they are great. Ever since the big snow on Sunday I’ve been wearing mine and it makes going to the cold car in the morning so much better.

I finished reading Christ the Lord by Anne Rice. This was a very good book, I suggest that if you are interested in a faith filled interpretation of what Jesus as a young boy may have been like that you read this book.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
