Nat picked up a box of Clif Kid Organic Zbars at Costco this week and as I cracked it open to give one to the girls, I found what is best described as a 'fake' Clif Kid bar. It was a perfectly sealed wrapper of a bar, but just simply filled with air.
Check out the video:
The girls thought it was awesome. Me? Not so much.
I had to dump the whole box out to figure out if we just got this as a 'bonus' or if we were short one bar. Sure enough...short one bar. They counted this 'air-filled' wrapper as a bar.
Maybe this is a not-so-subtle message that we're eating too many bars? Dropping some calories through ingesting air instead of granola?
Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe. The Tribune reporter called it "prized". We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd. I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs. And they were dirt cheap. The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces. We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage
Martha Stewart hit me right between the eyes this morning with this quote about happiness. She says that you can be happy for a year - if you get married. And you can be happy for a decade - if you get a dog. But...if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life - plant a garden. See below. I'm adding this to the handful of pieces of garden advice/garden musings/garden quotes that I've collected here on my blog - including: It is better to plant a fifty-cent tree in a five dollar hole than a five dollar tree in a fifty-cent hole , Conifers should come first , never buy just one of anything , Audrey Hepburn's line/quote - "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow" and... the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best? Today . Martha's take on happiness fits right in there with these. I first came across this on TikTok in a promo for her Netflix documentary, but....on Instagram is where I found this (nicely laid-out four-panel) Marth
