Mmmm!

How cute is this ice cream sundae set-up?! I looove ice cream and I came across this via Twig & Thistle who got it from Eat Drink Chic. I am having a small wedding soon with family and closest of friends only and wondering how I could incorporate this into my big day. If I don't use it for the wedding, maybe for my house-warming party?? This idea is too good to pass up and it's extremely convienient that the templates for the items are free! <3

I made an amazing meal

Here are the recipes in the case you want to surprise your hubby/boyfriend/family...

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

I was honestly uninspired to write anything today. I'm a day away from my week vacation from work (taking off Thursday-Wednesday) and I've been taking care of my sick fiance. It wasn't until watching Modern Marvels on the history channel that made me decide to quickly write about the book I am reading. The book is In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan.

The episode of Modern Marvels, Fast Food Tech. The entire time I was completely grossed out by how the burgers look pre-cooked, the handling of the food behind the scenes, the look of the sauces being squeezed onto burgers. Yuck!

During my lunch break I went to grab a tea and yogurt. One co-worker (who was sipping on a soda from Burger King) said to me "that's why you are so small, you can actually eat healthy!" I just mentioned the book I was reading and made her think about this..."Look at a carrot under a microscope and it would still look good enough to eat. Then look at a burger from McDonald's under a microscope." She then gave this nasty look. My response "Exactly." I want to get a copy of the episode I just watched on Modern Marvels, maybe even grab a copy of Super Size Me and play them for my co-workers that depend on the local fast food restaurants or a quick lunch.

Seriously read the book above though. It's amazing and will make you think about what you're putting in your belly.

mmm strawberry tart

Today I got off early from work since my classroom didn't have many children so my assistant got to take over. I surprised my fiance at his job with Pita Pit. He was really sick this morning and unaware that I got off of work early.

Saturday we had gone to Epcot and in the France region we went to a Patisserie where I bought a baguette and this strawberry tart. I really wish I could snap my fingers and have this on a plate in my lap right now.

Oh comfort food...
