Do you love coffee? ice cream? both? Then today's your day!

Today's Topic (Wed, 9/6) - 3 treats you're grateful for

 

[slo]

Good Stormy (by me) Morning

I love treats - you can never have to many treats

I’m focusing on my last WDW trip where DD20 and I tried new treats and it was a blast.

#1 - I’m grateful we finally had beignets at POFQ - we ordered 6, because we never expected them to be as big as they are. These were the 3 we took back to our room for another time. FYI…..they are not good left over



#2 I’m grateful for the chicken & waffles we tried at Sleepy Hallow - we only got one and shared it and we loved it. We’ll definitely get this again



#3 - I’m grateful for this ridiculously tiny Forky cupcake at The Roundup Rodeo BBQ at HS - we got the BIGGEST laugh when this was brought to our table. We expected a normal size cupcake and when this came, we had to take a picture with it - so funny. I honestly can’t say if it’s good or bad, because it’s so small that you can barely taste it . I will say the Forky cookie wasn’t very good. Every time I look at this picture, it makes me smile. People around our table were looking at us like we are nuts - who takes a selfie with a cupcake? We do! LOL!

OMG Coffee ice cream - shockingly so it’s hard to find a really good one Starbucks used to have one but they don’t sell it anymore
- Tillamook there is this OK - I’ve tried a few others Baskin Robbins Jacamoca almond is pretty darn good the only problem the container is so tiny it’s like one serving they need to make bigger containers but then you’d have to take a loan at the bank to buy one because they’re really proud of that product it’s a bit pricey but oh my gosh oh I love coffee ice cream considering I drink iced coffee every day it’s no wonder I love coffee ice cream I’m very grateful for it it’s one of my two favorite flavors of ice cream
Chocolate cake peanut butter chocolate icing
STL dessert - gooey butter cake / I also love gooey butter cookies
Pumpkin bread I could eat my weight in it
And an all-time favorite ice cream cake - a chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter ice cream again I could eat my weight in one of those too
And the best one banana pudding! Has to be homemade with homemade pudding no whip cream
Cheesecake just about any kind of flavor
Pudding - chocolate of course specially if it’s a pie
Apple pie or mincemeat

I could probably list 100 most grateful for dessert there’s a few desserts I won’t eat like custard’s / flans / Jell-O - but for the most part I’m down for dessert and I’m very grateful for them!

(Wed, 9/6) - 3 treats you're grateful for

1. I'm grateful for Laughing Cow cheese - I love it and have a wedge almost every night!
2. I'm grateful for zucchini bread - I don't have it too often, but it is so yummy!
3. I'm grateful for carrot cake - I've never actually made carrot cake, but I'd probably have to eat the whole thing if I did because I'm the only one in my family who likes it!

Good Thursday Morning

I’m narrowing it down to the last 10 years…..

#1 - I’m grateful for my Apple Watch - it’s awesome for my workouts and I love seeing my texts on my wrist - very convenient.

#2 - I’m grateful for my current iPhone - I love everything about it, especially having my photos with me at all times.

#3 - I’m grateful for my new air fryer oven - I use my air fryer for way more than Tater Tots and French fry’s - this new oven makes air frying fish, chicken breasts and more a lot easier.

Indoor plumbing
Air conditioning
Electricity
I am not an off the grid person my idea camping is a four-star hotel
I second washing machines and dryers i have been without one several times in my life I treasure mine
Refrigerator - just have the power go out and have to go to using coolers not fun
A bed - having been without one for several months waiting for sale sleeping on the floor I love my bed

Garage door opener Not having to get in and out of your car to open and close your garage door priceless
Email can stay in touch with people anywhere and everywhere

The best thing I believe modern medicine is come a long way still has a ways to go but it’s so much better than it used to be truly grateful

3 modern conveniences you're grateful for

1. Apps on my phone. I've been looking for an app to track daily goals and I finally downloaded a new one to try. The number of apps available is amazing!

2. The internet - even though I grew up without it, I would hate to give it up now! I love having information at my fingertips!

3. Streaming TV - I love always having something to kill some time with on TV. Sometimes it's hard to find something to watch, but I like the availability!

After having had one night of toilet issues, indoor plumbing with a working toilet!
Dental X-rays that are SD scans (nothing that goes inside the mouth)
Flash drives for computers are so handy, too.

Central Air...it has been really warm in CT the last couple of days and it's been helpful
My phone...I am always looking things up and it's convenient for that(amongst other things)
Streaming services...it's nice to just be able to pick something to watch uninterrupted

Car Air Con! ...We're having a hot spell here. It's not New York heatwave - more 83 to 86 (90 some places, luckily not in my neck of the woods) - but over here we're not particularly adapted (physically) to lots of heat, plus our houses are insulated for a cold climate, plus we don't have air con. So...

Jet Wash ...Cleaned up some pathways, Very satisfying! They look transformed. (I did, also, wash my car, but, then, 24 hours later, this happened https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/66734529 )

Hot Water ...Was without it for a bit last week, which is a good reminder of how valuable it is!

 

[Tink-osophy]

TREATS! I don't like coffee, so coffee ice cream's out, but treats are definitely in!!!

I like a cupcake that has as much frosting as cake!

In this heat, definitely ice cream (just not coffee!)

Gianduiotti - melt-in-your-mouth, completely smooth praline chocolate

(Wed, 9/6) - 3 treats you're grateful for

1. I'm grateful for Laughing Cow cheese - I love it and have a wedge almost every night!

That reminds me of the little Laughing Cow cubes I used to have as a child. Very nostalgic.
