What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Good morning all. Beautiful weather here. The windows were open all day, and the cats were just sitting in them, sniffing all the things.
So, something happened yesterday that, I think, hasn't happened in a few years. An ice cream truck came down our street, playing it's music. We heard the first few notes and we both literally jumped up and ran to the window. It's like we were both 6 years old. Yeah. We hang out on ObesityHelp every day.
Speaking of which, my photo Friday is what is on my kitchen counter right now. It actually shows only about half. Bags and bags and bags of frosting. Anyone else have this much frosting?

QOTD: I'm not a fan of either. Aldis was a limited selection, and after trying a couple of their brands decided I was going to stick to what I was used to. I'm underwhelmed by Trader Joes too. The only things I was attracted to there were things I really shouldn't be eating at all, so I stay away.

I agree, the goodies and snack section of TJ is very tempting. Just recently I saw a new flavor of their JoJoes (their version of Oreos) with coffee creme. I bought it, but didn't open it and sent it to DD as part of her Easter care package. I'm still waiting to hear how they are but she "hasn't had a chance to open them yet"! I swear sometimes I think she was switched at the hospital, she can't be my blood!

I can't even fathom that real human beings exist who do not have the urge to rip open boxes of treats and eat them all on the spot. What the hell? On the one hand I am jealous, but on the other hand, I believe I have known real joy that people that that have not, haha.

DH bought DD coffee flavored M&Ms for easter. They were decent but not enough to take me off track.

I had them when we went to the M&M store in NYC long before the flavor was released in stores and I loved them!!!! I have resisted buying them since they were released.

Good morning QJB and menuers!
Made it to another Friday, woo! TGiF.
QOTD- I'm mostly here for the answers since I haven't been to a TJ's in like 20 years and I've been to Aldi exactly once. I'm stoked for the ground lamb but haven't tried it yet...or much else from there since bad timing.
Exactly one meeting on the calendar today since I was supposed to be in DC. Will work on what I can today!
Accountability- Need more water.
Menu - Protein shakes, maybe ratio yogurt, blueberries, grapes, half a green banana.
Pics are of my upper 5 acres that I took to show family. Cheers, everyone!
