The Power of Suggestion


I've always grown up watching PBS and still do. (I'm like one of the few people left on earth that still doesn't have cable!) But really, I love documentaries.

The last week, PBS has been airing a series, which I've seen before, about various topics. There's flea markets/swap meets, amusement parks, cemeteries, ice cream, sandwiches, and hot dogs. Well, that's what I can recall. They are all really light hearted stories of different locations' most famous. Like, a famous shaved ice place in Hawaii (Matsumoto's), a philly cheese steak place in Philly (Gino's), and a guy who sells hot dogs made of reindeer from a cart in Alaska. Really, they are interesting. hahaha You're probably like, what the hell is she talking about?!

Anyway, last week I caught; ice cream, flea markets, sandwiches, and hot dogs. OMG! Can you believe, I was so hungry by the end of that?! I'm sitting there watching these, after dinner I might add, and I just wanted to jump in the car and start driving to all the places they showed! Yeah I know, that's a lot of gas. This week I'm determined to eat some type of decent hot dog, soft serve ice cream, and a hot pastrami sandwich. Not good if you're on a diet, I suppose...maybe if I spread it out. LOL! AND...I have to hit a flea market. This I was planning on doing before hand but now it's a must! (A couple of thrift stores or garage sales may have to substitute) Hmmm...can we say sucker?

So, this is funny....I LOVE documentaries too and I watch PBS. My fave shows are Antiques Roadshow (of course) and Globe Trekker. We have so much in common! LOL

Thanks for your suggestion. I was thinking of seeing if he would rather drink from the cups with a straw.

Love your blog. We have similar personalities. I too watch PBS and "perfect moms" irritate me.

Yeah those shows make the food look REAL good! The picture of the sandwich in the post is enough to make me run to the deli!

Okay...everytime I have visited your blog this week....I have a habit of scrolling down to this picture and making myself hungry! I need to exercise more self-control in this regard and stop scrolling down to look at it everytime! The power of suggestion is right, kateedyd! I'm convinced this sandwich tastes delicious! :)
