Skinny Cow

The combination of the recent sunshiney, warm weather and my terribly achey throat left me craving these little puppies...

Well, let's be real, I have been craving anything that will soothe this sore pharynx (or is it larynx?) Anyway, these Skinny Cow Truffle Bars are perfection. And ringing in right at 100 calories a piece, I don't feel too bad for eating three of them in one sitting (because we all know I have no restraint when it comes to ice cream.) Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't compare these things to a salad (I might be sick, but I'm not delusional) but they do make a lovely-little-moderately-healthy snack or dessert. 

And yes, mom, I am going to the doctor tomorrow morning.

Under the Weather

After a wonderful weekend in the mountains, I woke up yesterday morning with what seems to be a bit of a cold. I have intermittently been popping Zicam and chasing Dayquil with hot tea in hopes of a speedy recovery.  I had already planned a trip home to get my banged-up car repaired, so I look forward to spending the rest of the evening relaxing in my most favorite coastal town. I figure whatever the salty breeze doesn't remedy, my mom's cooking surely will.

And if Tom Hanks wants to show up with daisies at any time, I'd be more than willing to receive.
