Ode to Clementine

It used to make me really mad that clementines only come in boxes of 30. Who has enough hunger or time to eat that many clementines before they go bad? And why do they have to package them in those irresistible wooden boxes with all the perky little orange fruits staring at you, "Take me home! I'm adorable!"

 They were actually following me at the Fresh Market last night!

 

 I fell for that box just last Saturday. But this time, the box will not beat me. I gave half to my dad, 2 per day to my husband, and I'm personally taking down at least 2 a day as well. I will dominate this box of clementines before they go bad. Mark my words!

The only thing I can see getting in my way is this Friday. AKA, the day that Grant brings all the fruit BACK home that he didn't eat during the week. Dude, just throw it away at work! I would never know you didn't eat it. I wouldn't be concerned about your vitamin levels. And, more importantly, who wants a black banana!? Throw. It. Away.

This message is brought to you by my Vitamin C level, which is currently on fire!

 

 

Cyber Tuesday

I was just online contemplating some decorative knobs when I came across a most awesome review.

 

I can't quite explain why, but his clarification really did make me feel more secure about my purchase.  Sure, we all want the approval of a gay man.  They are, after all, the experts on all things interior.  But sometimes we just want a straight man to think we are doing something cool or have good taste.

 

Let's hope that this straight woman likes the knobs as much as that straight guy.  He must have really loved them to leave a review.  Sometimes I can't even get a guy to say, "I loved the spaghetti" and he doesn't even have to leave the room or login to do that! 

Your Life

Have you seen the ridiciulousness that is Salt Life in your city?  In Wilmington it's everywhere!

We get it.  You're here.  You're Salty.  And you're a dork. 

Salt life dude!

I saw this sticker on the way to Florida last week and it's much more my speed.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again: You do not need to express your world views and life's greatest passions on the back of your car.  Save it for real life conversations and Facebook statuses.  Oh wait, no, that crap is equally as annoying on facebook.  I'm happy that your team won its sport and I am sorry that your candidate lost, but I do not need to see that shit online.

Ice Cream Sundays - Berry Voluntary

 

I didn't think I was going to like this flavor.  I'm just not a fan of any fruit that isn't just plain fruit.  Unless it's a smoothie.  But this was definitely the exception. 

 

The cheesecake aspect of the ice cream makes the flavor so rich and creamy and luxurious.  And I will never say no to a white chocolate chunk.  Why is white chocolate so underrated?  I love it so.

 

This flavor was truly spectacular on its on.  And as I alluded to last week, it paired beautifully with Chocolate Therapy.  Cheesecake + Raspberry + Chocolate = Hell Yes!  I will definitely be buying this flavor again!  I'm a non-fruit frut convert.

 

 

Summary:

 

Flavors Tried - 35

 

Favorite Flavor - I have decided it's a tie between Creme Brulee and What a Cluster.  They are both so amazing but so different.  I can't pick just one.

How are you are celebrating this year?  And where are you giving thanks?

 

I'm in the great state of Florida.  Jacksonville to be precise, spending time with some of my extended family that I do not get to see nearly enough.

 

I am sure we will be stuffing our faces, laughing our asses off, and maybe, just maybe, drinking some wine together. 

 

This year I am thankful for everything.  My friends, family, husband, and health.  But mostly I'm thankful that I just received this email in my inbox and will get to watch this the day I return home.

 

As you can see the next 3 movies in our queue belong to Grant.  Our cinematic tastes are just slightly different.

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

T&C Part 3

In anticipation of Thanksgiving and turkey overload, I'm kind of at a loss for words so far this week.  But not a loss for pictures.  Here are few more scenes from the trip:

 

Express Yourself!

 

Beautiful, huge group of flamingos.  So pink, so funny looking!

 

More fresh seafood.  Excellent presentation.  Sub par seasoning.

 

Just a little scene we stumbled onto...that we totally created

 

Wouldn't that be just adorable in a sun room!?

 

This is my first sushi boat ever.  Usually you have to order a ton of rolls to get one.  Not at Yoshi Sushi.  They also give you iPads for menus.  A little extravagant but I'll take it!
