Day 199 - Pumpkin Pie Yogurt

Well, they say it is a limited edition flavor - - but man I wish it would be around all year.  Can we say YUMMY?  Oh yes we can.  Yummy and heavenly ... can you tell I enjoyed it?  Yes, I tried it - Yes, I loved it.  Woo Hoo.

Other than that - I also had a bite of some kind of cake called Boston Cream Pie Cake.  I have never had Boston Cream Pie in my life, except maybe a yogurt flavored that once I think, can't even remember now.  The cake was okay - but I know better than to have beyond a bite.  

Hope you had a good day so far.

Day 195 - Kefir (Strawberry)

Found a new love ... ah yes, this is good stuff.   I tried a Kefir -  strawberry flavored - probiotic drink, kind of like a smoothie I guess.  Ahhhh, good stuff indeed.   Does anyone know anything about Kefir?  Is it really good for you?  Anyone have experiences I should know about ? :)

Meanwhile, my daughter colored my hair .... she says I'm strawberry blonde now.  I'm not so sure.  BUT it does seem like a lighter color.  I tried to get a photo, but seems like the light is never right.  Oh well - at least I tried.

Have a good day.

And my attempt at pictures of myself ... hate the way my face looks - - 

not the bright smile I'm known for at all - and I hate the lighting,

but maybe you can see the difference in color.  You tell me.

Day 186 - Cheese, Ham and Ants on a Log

So, today was my son's 8th birthday party.  We had it at the fire station in our neighborhood. It was so fun, total success - - in my humble opinion.

For the party - we had cupcakes - and they were yummlicious.  Yes, I had about half of one.  I'm not really a cake person by nature - - but I did have some - and it was quite good.  We also had pineapples - in which we stuck toothpicks all over it - and the toothpicks had ham cubes and colby jack cheese squares on the toothpicks.  I had two of these at the party.  I did eat the ham/cheese thingy ... did not care for it at all ... but, hey I gave it a whirl -and the pineapples looked pretty.  I also had a tray of ants on a log ... basically celery and peanut butter and raisins.  I gotta tell ya - I did not like this either.  I really hate celery - and I cannot even stand the smell of it.  I was hoping with the peanut butter - I might like it better, but no dice.  Oh well.  At any rate, the party was fun - and the kids loved our treats.

At dinner time, my daughter cooked up that asparagus I bought.  She did it in the skillet on the stove and added all kinds of seasonings to it.  I did not brave a taste.  The smell alone, kept me far away from the kitchen, wasn't going near it.   Will have to give asparagus a try another day.

Day 179 - Yogurt, Carrot Cake

Another CarbMaster flavor ... it is orange and it is yuk.  I did not like it at all.  Of course, thus far, I have not liked anything 'carrot' related!  I have never had a carrot cake in my life, but for some unknown bizarre reason I decided this yogurt would be worth a try.  Well, I tried it - - and it was a 'no go'.  Oh well...

Meanwhile - today was pumpkin carving day.  Always love watching that.  Daughter dear also roasted pumpkin seeds.  I might try those tomorrow if any are left... my tummy hurts tonight and I ain't touchin' them for nothing :)

Day 178 - Spiced Pear Yogurt

So Kroger has this line of yogurts called CarbMaster.  I picked up a few to try.  One of them I was looking forward to is called Spiced Pear.  Love IT!

I'm not feeling very well - - and don't plan to really expand on it - - but tried it and loved it.  Also had a very fun time at a Sugar Land park with the kiddos.  Life is good.

Day 167 - Cottage Cheese

I tried it - and I hated it.  Sorry - I was really hoping I would like it because of the awesome protein content, but no can do.   I need ideas on how to mix it up into something else, like a smoothie or something.  I ate it plain, and my oh my  - - it was yuk.

Hope you had a Terrific Tuesday.
