Jelly Beans, Beer and Olive Oil

ROAD TRIP.

to Fairfield. 80 miles Northwest of here. Home of the Jelly Belly Factory, the Budweiser Bottling Plant and SePay Groves Olive Oil. Unfortunately the factories were not in production. So we sampled beer, participated in a taste test for "bad beer", bought Belly Flops and heard how Olive Oil can cure almost everything but cancer. It was a nice diversion from real life for awhile. The picture with Mr Jelly Belly will up as soon as Vicki gets it scanned.

"Made in a factory that manufactures peanut butter". The pretzels they gave us at Bud had that on the bag. I didn't think much of it. On Sunday I woke up with a swollen throat. Took a benadryl (as in one capsule only), ate Breakfast ala Lark (cinnamon rolls and bacon), read one section of the paper and crashed until 6:00 that night. Potent stuff. I do have an EpiPen, but the swelling wasn't that bad. So, I add pretzels made in a factory that prodces peanut butter to the list of don't eats.
