Slim Chickens, Lotus Electre, Pepsi Peach, Sprite Chill & 76 Gas

It's been over a month so inevitably there will be something I plum neglect to mention but there isn't too much to share anyhow. There was some mundane activities such as going to the IKEA in Orlando to pick up a new pillow (the old one was literally falling apart), returning to EPCOT for the afternoon, visiting a Whole Foods and lunch at the Raising Cane's in Kissimmee; otherwise there weren't too many highs... while thankfully there weren't too many lows either.

There thankfully are some limited edition sodas for the summer. Sprite Chill is simply the soda w/ cherry, meaning it was pretty tasty. The same can be said for both Pepsi Peach & Pepsi Lime. There's also Dr. Pepper Creamy Coconut; it was purchased but hasn't been sampled as of now. To mention something completely different, at ironically a gas station I saw the Lotus Electre for the first time. The name signifies that it's the brand's all-electric SUV. It looked rather sharp, especially in British Racing Green. Speaking of gasoline, recently in Davenport I visited a new 76 gas station. It was the first purpose-built 76 around here in many years. Due to its distance, that place will only barely be visited. I wish places like that and Cumberland Farms was closer; alas, there's still plenty of decent places around the area to stop and if need be, purchase something from the convenience store.

The one new restaurant of note was Slim Chickens, located at the south tip of Celebration, meaning another place I wish was closer. There's one in Wichita but I had never been able to visit it. In fact I was impressed by the food; it's a relief that even if some places are relatively far away, there's enough places to visit for dinner when some places this year have either fallen off and are lousy or closed down.

Nothing is planned for Memorial Day Weekend; that is fine w/ me as that's usually the case. By the time I return next month, there are some plans I have in store for the next several weeks.
