Trip to Northeast

August 21 continued...
Later, after walking to a nearby small park and buying lunch at a Halal kiosk, we met Cassie so we could all go to an interesting place that sells "compost" cookies. Yep, that's right. COMPOST cookies! They are made with pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips and are delicious. Rob and Cassie also introduced us to a milk treat -- "cereal milk". That was sort of strange and not too appealing to me. It did taste just like the milk left over in the bottom of the bowl after all the cereal has been eaten. I noticed on the menu board other interesting milk flavors were sold, including "salty pistachio".

That evening Jerry nervously went to a nearby dialysis center. In fact, we were all a little nervous since he'd never had dialysis treatments any place outside Louisville; the unknown is always stressful. Rob, Cassie, and I sat in the waiting room and talked until we were sure he was successfully hooked up to the machine before we headed back to the condo. Everything went very well so now he's willing to try this again in other cities. The technicians were Filipino so things went even more smoothly when he told his tech that our daughter-in-law was part Filipino. He got a flutter of attention after that, especially after he also told them about visiting a local Filipino bakery!
