LED tubes, cumin soda, basil seed drink
Saturday, July 27th, 2019 08:36 pmI've installed the LED light tubes in the garage. Doing so was much easier for me this time. In part, because the tubes are plastic so I wasn't worried about glass breaking from me applying too much pressure on them. But mostly because I now know that I have to push the bottom of the tombstones outwards to make more space width-wise, while pushing the tubes up into them. As well of course, making sure the pins are lined up right with the slots.

The cumin soda turned out to be a disappointment. I don't like it. The flavor isn't cumin + other spices; it is only cumin, which is a lot more off-putting to me than I expected. This soda is also thick, more syrupy than normal, and SALTY. Now maybe I could appreciate a salty soda if it were some other flavor, like salty lime. But thick salty cumin soda turns out to be not my thing.
The lemongrass basil seed drink on the other hand, was good. It was sweeter than I'd like, but when I drank it I'd been working in the yard, getting hot and sweaty, so I didn't mind the sugar. The flavor reminded me of something pleasant from the past, but I couldn't remember what. The basil seeds make a fun swishy feeling in the mouth; hard to describe and different than chia seed drinks.
