The Desert of My Dreams

Yoplait has done it again! Aside from their marketing people leaving way too many comments about my review of their revolting Yoplait Whips! Chocolate Mousse Style Yogurt, they’ve recently discontinued my favorite flavor - Coconut Cream Pie! I’ve been wondering why I haven’t been able to find it at my grocery store recently so […]

For the past couple of months, I’ve established a routine with fresh fruit (specifically, grapes and berries) that I’m finding makes my life a lot easier. About once a week (usually Sunday or Monday night), I’ll wash all of the grapes and berries that are in my fridge, divide them into one cup portions, […]

Under any circumstance, do not try the Yoplait Whips! Chocolate Mousse Style Yogurt. I saw this stuff last night at Busch’s and figured I’d give it a try because Yoplait makes my favorite yogurt flavors. I figured this stuff would live up to the Yoplait name but it didn’t.
The yogurt certainly […]

We did some more shopping in a store that was across from the water/port. We couldn’t really figure out this store’s specialty since they seemed to sell everything . . . in bulk. Their display of fruits and nuts looked pretty cool.

Vimto is probably the best tasting fruit soda ever. It is also super sweet - to the point where you know that your teeth are rotting and you’re developing diabetes as you’re drinking it. I believe it is available in ethnic grocers in the U.S. but it seemed fitting to have a can […]
