Tequila Goldsicle
All right, It’s Friday and it’s getting hot out. Time for a Tequila Goldsicle. This precious metal pop with a punch is filled with 24 carat gold flakes and sells for a cool grand at the Marquis Los Cabos in Baja California, Mexico. As you would expect from a frozen treat of this stature, it can be delivered to you poolside. It is made with Clase Azul Ultra tequila, which is self-proclaimed to be the “finest tequila ever produced.” I have never tried it myself, and costing around $2000 a bottle, it’s not likely I will in the near future.

Stacks | Menlo Park, California
Well my trip to the Bay Area was a good time had by all. I have some good posts in the works from my trip. I will start you off with a mouth-watering way to start your morning. Stacks in downtown Menlo Park is open for breakfast and lunch. I can honestly say this is my number one, all time favorite way to start the day. Eggs Louis, which is where crab is substituted for ham in the classic dish Eggs Benedict. Top it off with a short stack of wheat germ pancakes for dessert, and I guarantee you will not leave hungry, though most definitely happy!

Cash by the Pound
I can remember visiting the B.E.P. in Washington D.C. when I was a teen. My Father was a true patriot and this was one of many family vacations that had us blazing from state to state. Destinations included Civil War Battlefields, National Parks, and of course our Nations Capital. I remember the tour vividly and also remember being able to buy a bag of shredded cash at the gift shop. Well things might be very different these days, but you can still get your shredded cash. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing offers 5lb bags of Shredded U.S. Currency. This bag contains approximately $10,000 worth of Shredded U.S. currency notes. Judging from the photo below, it looks like the gift shops at the various Federal Reserve Banks are in on it as well.
