Little Turtle

-
When I first saw this little guy (or girl) while on my walk at lunch today, I thought it was dead. I walked right up on it and it didn't budge. However, when I (gently) tapped it with my foot and its head moved, I was able to confirm it was still alive. It must have just been too young to know better than to scurry away from a human.

I was able to get some photos of it and then left it alone to figure out its path on its own. I didn't have a quarter (or any other change) with me so I included a photo of the turtle next to my keys for scale.

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when ...

Jen's Family Table Sloppy Joe Meat

  I had been eying this product at Kwik Trip for a few weeks now and, needing something for dinner last night, decided to finally purchase it (though, admittedly, my first plan was to get their taco meat, which ended up being sold out). After trying it, my opinion wound up being mixed. There were a couple things I really liked about this product. One of the main ones was the price. A 1-pound package cost $3.49. A pound of hamburger currently costs about $5, and that's only if I happen to find it on sale. When you add in the cost of a can of sloppy Joe sauce , this product ends up costing half as much as the way we usually make sloppy Joes. I also found I liked the convenience. Since the meat is already cooked, all I had to do was warm it up in the microwave for a couple minutes rather than frying the burger, draining the grease, and adding the can of sauce. The pre-cooked meat also meant I was getting what I was purchasing, it didn't cook down into a smaller quantity. Taste-wis...

It's been a while since I've been able to get out for a walk with my camera, mostly because of the wet weather we've had. I didn't know how muddy the trails would be, but I decided to get out today and, while I didn't go as far into the park as I normally would, managed to get some photos. Here are several of them: ____________________________________________________________________________ Here are some of my previous nature photos: Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/19/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/14/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/20/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/24/2026)
