Good evening/morning/afternoon everyone and welcome to today's #checkin. It's Rose Monday or Carnival Monday here in Germany and in many cities today there are huge parades. Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn and other cities are known for their big parades.
To give you an impression, the whole parade/processing in Cologne is around 6.5km long with around 12,500 participants. The sheer size is impressive. And many of these parades are known for their satirical approach of current political events....From world political events to local political scandals or actions. Of course, there are also many non-political wagons as well and people dressed in all kinds of costumes.
And you might enjoy some Kamelle! (sweets thrown from the wagons) or an ice cream. Today is 33 flavors day! Apparently, there is/was some shop that served so many flavors! And for the Nerds, there is TB-303 Appreciation Day, a Synthesizer.
So what's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Andrew and I just found a bar in Healesville that serves alcohol...and gelati! It was so funny the other day when we turned up at Happy Hour. All the tables were reserved, so we sat at the bar sharing a bowl of raspberry and coconut gelati while all the people sitting next to us were enjoying a beer!

I'm getting more and more reports that SMS service in the US is malfunctioning (sent but non-delivered SMS messages, errors trying to send SMS messages, etc.) which is lovely (that was sarcasm, it's not lovely, it sucks because this isn't some spam farm, it's mission critical stuff.)
Back to work after 4 day weekend. Surprisingly, I was able to dig out of all the emails and whatnot so not too painful.

I miss the old Baskin Robbin's photos they had on their walls - they were of the area near Mammoth Lakes, California, where I spent a lot of time (and still visit fairly frequently.)
My favorite at B-R was a coffee (they called it "jamoca") malt with extra coffee syrup and extra malt - about 800 grams of sugar, 900 grams of fat, and a ghastly amount of caffeine.

Moose Tracks sounds good! As does a good vanilla ice cream.
By the way, I heard Beignets are just flat donuts. While I cannot attest if true or not, I checked at the local Brammibal's, the only other donut chain stores we have other than Dunkin', Anyhow, the girl working there was cute but did not know what Beignets were.
So I bought these instead.

I'm going to a music festival in a couple of weeks and my hotel is a block from a French bakery where I will have Beignets. Several times.

The best pastry I can remember eating is the "Butterhorn" at some now perhaps nonexistent diner in Yachats, OR. Or possibly Waldport. A bit south of Newport on the coast. It's been 45 years or so, can't really remember. These were not the crescent rolls sometimes called butterhorns, but a cinnamon roll with, you guessed it, a substantial amount of melted butter involved. Think of potatoes and gravy, except instead of the potatoes a cinnamon roll, and instead of the gravy, melted butter.
