Aka: The day before hump day
 |
| i bet mickey wouldn't use the work poke! |
As does hearing the guys at EVERY SINGLE ONE of daves baseball leagues say "good poke buddy" "come on just a little poke"
Ewwwwwww
Am i the only one that thinks poke and poking is an entirely inappropriate word to use in baseball?
Hmph!
This is my rant for the day ;o)
So with the plethora* of cherries i bought the other day (which went on sale the next day) grrrrrrr
I made my cherry breakfast cookie and it was sooo good i had to make something similar to share with you
But first lets talk about flavours and preferences
i HATE cherry flavoured things - i LOVE cherriesi HATE banana flavoured things - i LOVE bananas
i HATE melon flavoured things - i LOVE melon
Isn't that weird?
Yeah yeah i know i'm always weird
.... And quirky!
But this must make me different, no?
I must have always had this whole food thing in my head because artificial flavoured fruit food makes me gag unless its citrus flavoured - mmmmmmmmm
This is one of the reasons i LOVE british candy
This contains, Lemon, Lime, Orange, Strawberry and Blackcurrant flavours, LOVELY!
I've been known to search through the bins at candy stores and just pick out the Orange, Lime and Lemon flavours!
At the movies i sort through a bag of skittles and pick all the grape flavours out and hand them to BF - props to Skittles for having Strawberry red skittles instead of Cherry
I AM ODD and i'm 100% okay with that :o)
* Isn't the word plethora fantastical? Please try to use it in a sentence today, you will feel good and can thank me later - Dr. Donnas orders!

I've been making a vow to sweat every day and its really paying off
Trying new classes and the gym, walking back and forth to the new house every day and starting to run again has made exercising SO much fun - the good weather REALLY helps :o)

Okay so here goes - todays recipe is inspired by
