Spring "Cleanse" - A 33 Day Tribute to Pie, Peeps and Cadbury Creme Eggs

Ok I already can't remember what I had the first 9 days. So I will go with
Day 10: Mini Cupcakes
Well, ok, they are sitting here getting a bit warmer (I keep them frozen until I eat them) - the cupcake is all good (microwave for 10 seconds on 40% power) but the frosting is still a bit firm. And that is only if I get them before Barney does. He usually takes off with the cupcake wrapper from the first one while I eat the second one.
Sorry it is kinda blurry - hard to get a picture of him smelling them and also keep him from licking them at the same time. Now he is just trying to sit on my computer so I can't post the incriminating picture.0 -
Day 1: Peeps
Day 2: Almond pastry (filled with almond paste).
Day 3: Mission Hill Creamery Ricotta & Fig ice cream.
Day 4: McConnell's Chocolate Covered Strawberries Ice Cream.
Day 5: A couple of TJ's Cookie Butter Cups.
Day 6: Mission Hill Creamery Turkish Coffee ice cream.
Day 7: More McConnell's Chocolate Covered Strawberries Ice Cream.
Day 8: MIL waffles.
Day 9: Generic raspberry pastry.
Day 10: Raspberry Sponge Cake + a touch of Ricotta & Fig ice cream from Mission Hill.
I went in (a modest) search for a glazed scone or maybe a bundt cake, but many bakeries had closed by the time I shook free. I didn't want to just go to Nothing Bundt Cakes, and ended up getting entranced with berries, as happens too often when I go in search of sweets. Just a little piece of sponge cake soaked in raspberry compote between cream cheese layers. Definitely cured my berry withdrawal. And added a little MH Ricotta & Fig ice cream, too.

Yum.
There's a new bakery down the street from me. Previously we've never had one. I keep meaning to try it out but then I end up just making whatever it is that I want.0 -

The MRI was fine for the first 35 min, the last 10 I started getting super hot and began sweating. 10 minutes to long. Have another one scheduled for next Monday. Sigh.
Boo, I was hoping the MRI meant progress, but sounds like you're still grounded for a while. I did think of you yesterday when a guy running around the track flipped off an ambulance with a huge grin on his face. Only thing I could think of was he was an EMT for the same company (the track is around a park across the street from the medical center). I know you EMTs are crazy...

I'm off on my days
But yesterday I tried the Breyers Tiramisu gelato. I was quite disappointed. It was really bland - mostly just the cream taste all their gelatos seem to have with only a hint of the tiramisu flavor. Next time I'll splurge and buy Talenti.0 -

My wonderful, kind, conscientious, loving, never-do-wrong wife surprised my by, sometime in the last few days, opening the very last pint of GF I had stored, hidden, in the back of the freezer.
With my only known source for GF recently having closed down, I am not sure when I will have access to more. So I went with it tonight, and will likely be having it for several days in a row, before others - who shall remain unmentioned - can get their greedy little mitts on it. 0 -

Day 11 - cookies. Um, they are I think lemon with a cream filling - the lemon is really subtle if they are,so I don't really taste it but the BF said he tasted it (although he may just be imaging it because they are very yellow). They are from the bakery at Mariano's and are very yummy. Felt kind of guilty eating them because I was at the dentist earlier for my regular 6 month check up and had my teeth cleaned. Oh well, it was worth it.0

Haha. See I'm more excited that I'm perfectly content with the amount I thought was a full serving. I may be thinking more along your lines when I finally find that caramel apple pie flavor, though.

That, cottage cheese, and tuna were the ones I was overestimating. Ice cream was another story. 0
