Matcha mean by that?
This past Friday was 4th of July and as always, fireworks going off all night long. As I've said in the past, no longer a fan of the holiday and fireworks in general and mainly due to having pets. Even though I don't have dogs at the moment, it's still the memory of poor Orion every holiday that had fireworks (4th, Labor Day, New Year's) and how scared the poor pup was every single time. Since having dogs (again) and how it affected one of them, just lost my love or like for fireworks and I know thousands of dogs suffer from fear of fireworks and they have no idea what is going on and what to do. Even if you are holding them, they are still scared. It's like someone with PTSD after being in a warzone of some kind be it military or civilian, it affects humans just the same. I know they are used for celebration but it's too bad that sound is as big as it is instead of just seeing the lights. I think I am starting to like drone shows more now because you don't hear a thing.
I realized recently I'm not a matcha person... it taste too herbie? Is that a word? But it tastes too much like a herb to me which I'm used to herbs being more accenting a dish rather than be the main dish. I recently got another croffle (croissant and waffle combo) with matcha on it and it was over-powering in flavor of herbs from the matcha. I guess all the other times I have things with matcha it was subtle or a hint of it, but not a full cream of it on top of the croffle. So a lot of matcha is just not for me, it really is a strong flavor and takes away from everything unless it's a small dose or amount of it in something like a drink or a powder sprinkle on top of a cake or other dessert. But I have had match ice cream, I guess it's mixed with more cream than matcha for something like that.
Roaring it's way to #1 is Jurassic World Rebirth with a holiday weekend box office of 147.3 million to open (91.5 mil for the weekend). Very good number as we are in mid-Summer season already but reviews have not been so good on this film despite a solid box office. Time will tell on this one how it will do overall. Drop down to #2 is F1 The Movie with an extra 26.1 mil as it breaks the 100 mil mark. Also falling down a spot to #3 is How to Train Your Dragon (live version) with 11 mil as this one is starting to lose it's wind. Holding on to #4 is Elio with 5.7 mil and this one is quickly tapping out for a Disney/Pixar film and under-performing. Rounding off the top 5 is 28 Years Later with 4.6 mil and the dead is, well dead.
