eCreamery = love

As I was flipping thru the August issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray, I came across a fabulous article about eCreamery. Due to the fact that I'm o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d (so much that I felt the desire to seize all conversation and focus 110% on the magazine.)

Please welcome, eCreamery. It is on that very website that you can create any gourmet ice cream combination imaginable, right down to the percentage of cream base used. The flavors vary from avocado (?!) to Lavender to Chocolate Merlot and even the title of the ice cream can be customized.

The only, and I mean only downside to this venture is that a 1/2 gallon of your delicious creation is $49.99 while 1 gallon is $79.99. If I wasn't trying to save money for my future, I would splurge in a heartbeat. But, yes, reality sets in as I wave my mouse cursor over the "Checkout" button and my dreams of devouring "Beautiful Sin Gelato" die...

Maybe one day my significant other will read this blog posting...

this is adorable!

I've always wanted a tiger cub...

run for rewards

I decided to push myself again to run yet another 5K. Yesterday my time was 30:45. Today my time was 28:20. My time improved by 2 minutes and 25 seconds... that's pretty damn good if you ask me.

My reward was this delicious breakfast. Cascadian Farms granola, vanilla yogurt, strawberries, bananas, and blueberries.

strawberry fields

Tear up romaine and baby spinach leaves. Sprinkle sliced strawberries, chopped pineapple, blueberries, and mandarin oranges. Top with halved pecans. This is the perfect salad for a summer day!
