Regarding: Prego
What I really want to eat is:
But maybe I should stick to this:
As you may have read, my 14 mile long run is in question for tomorrow. We have a 90% chance of rain and a morning low of 36 degrees. This girl doesn’t run in the rain. Race maybe, but not run. It should clear up by the afternoon. So, the question is: Will I run in the afternoon? Or push it to Sunday?
I will run in the afternoon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sloth Sundays and if that means running in the afternoon, I will do it. Prego it is!!! And for lunch, since we have a hockey game tonight. How long do carbs last?
Food Friday: Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons
I have had a craving for coconut macaroons. And after a recent find at Sam’s Club (more on that later), I thought this recipe would be PERFECT to try. You can find it here.
There is no cookie more simple to put together than a macaroon. Coconut, an egg white, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and some salt. That is it! Mix it together, goop it into the shape of a cookie and bake it.
Takes about 20 minutes and they come out of the oven looking like this.
But I wasn’t done there. I found this recently at Sam’s. I have seen it there before and used it before. It always seems to make an appearance near the holidays and I keep my eyes open for it.
So the cookies from above turned into this:
But wait, I wasn’t done there either. Because I apparently melted too much chocolate for just the batch of cookies, I went searching through the kitchen for other things to dip in chocolate. I asked Michael, but he respectfully declined to be dipped. I can up with this. Can you tell what they are?
ANIMAL CRACKERS!!! My very own chocolate dipped safari! Enjoy.
Product Review: Sharpies
I am a pen junkie! An office supply addict. The first step is acknowledging that I have a problem. I can’t help it. When I find a pen I like, I will stock up!
So here you have my new obsession, the Sharpie Ultra Fine Point. 80’s Glam!!! What could be better. I picked mine up local but you can find them at Sharpie Ultra-Fine-Point Permanent Markers, 24-Pack Colored Markers (32893)
I write nice and neat with these pens. I don’t know why. And sometimes they do bleed through to the page below. But not so much that I can’t use the page. And I LOVE being able to just pick a color!
If you read my Mood Alerts, I fill them out with these Sharpies.
What else can I say?
