Here are a few updates before I delve into some homework, followed by Once Upon a Time, then by more homework...
Today was the American Lung Association Fight for Air Stair Climb. I begrudgingly signed up, but I became more enthused as time passed. (I was begrudged merely because stairs generally hurt my knees.) Anyway, I had a blast and hope to do it again next year with hopes of doing all 4 towers! I completed the one tower (49 floors, not 45 like I originally thought) in 9 minutes and 54 seconds. I was pleased!
The next order of business - food. I ate at this awesome restaurant called Frances' Deli and had a very delicious grilled cheese on rye with a potato pancake and coleslaw for sides. And let's not forget the pickle! Mmmm...hit the spot. Then of course I followed it up with a very delicious sundae (split 5 ways so really it wasn't that bad to have).
Lastly, I bought a food processor and was pleased with how well it worked. (I'm skeptical about these types of purchases, but I researched as best I could. No, no excel spreadsheets were made for this purchase.) This recipe for banana soft serve was pretty good. I added strawberries, but you can really add any fruit you want. Granted, I wouldn't mistake it for ice cream in a blind taste test, but it's pretty good if you're looking for a change or a healthy alternative to ice cream.

I read this blog a lot for yummy ideas and her photos look freakin' beautiful. So, don't go all Judgey McJudgerson on me and knock my dishes. They were free and I'm darn grateful for my we-don't-break-even-if-you-drive-over-us dishware. Anyway, if you try the soft serve, let me know what you think!
Later gators!
You're inspiring me to be healthier! I've just signed up for a weight loss challenge at work, and this soft-serve sounds like a GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, John!!! I know you can do well with the challenge and I'm happy to help. My goal for this blog is to post about yummy, but healthy recipes in addition to my weight loss journey because I need a bit of motivation now that I'm in a bit of a plateau. And of course, talk about fun times with friends! All good things. :)
ReplyDeletePlateau, Schmateau! You're looking great :-D
