I made a conscious decision to talk about something fun,
since our weather is decent today. (I
won't blather on about misery or monkeys-I pinky swear) I believe, our
temperatures are supposed to get to the lower 70’s. To celebrate this occasion, I've been
scouring the Internet hoping to find a 90% off coupon for all of us to use on
ice cream at Twin Cities ice cream specialty shops such as, Pump house Creamery at 4754 Chicago Ave,
in Minneapolis, or Izzy's at 2034
Marshall Avenue, in St. Paul, to name a couple of them. Sorry, no such luck in the coupon department. However, I can give you one
justification. The weather is going to
be lousy the next few days, so, enjoy today.
Ice cream has several health benefits. Yes, I said health benefits. According
to Mobile Life Today, ice cream is
rich in calcium, which is great, for those concerned about bone density. (http://mobilelifetoday.com/03/21/health-benefits-of-ice-cream/).
Ten percent of your daily value of
protein and calcium is in 1/2 cup serving of ice cream. If you can squeak by, with your half cup,
kudos to you, but you might be stretching the truth a little. That is okay.
It all comes back to another M-word, moderation. In an effort to keep it fun, we'll save that
for another day. If you decide to
indulge, it will be our secret. I pinky
swear.
Speaking of food… On Thursday, April 26, the Aliveness Project is having their annual fundraising event, Dining out for Life. Check out http://www.aliveness.org/. Click the dining out for life icon on the left side of the page, it will show a complete listing of participating restaurants, in this event. A portion of your dine-in check will be donated to the Minnesota Aliveness Project. This organization provides support for those living with HIV/AIDS. The percentage donated and when the donations are taken, will vary by location. Please check out the list!
ReplyDeleteI agree, today is spectacular and im sitting inside doing homework. That is about to change though, and your ice cream ideas have motivated me to make a stop at the local ice cream shop here in stillwater called Nelsons Ice Cream, only one problem there portion sizes are enormous, a child cone is about 2 cups at least if not more but on such a beautiful day i think i will walk to get it and eat it on the walk home, that should help counter the recent chubbiness virus i caught.
ReplyDeleteThat virus is sneaky..
