Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.

I can vouch for these. They are delicious and make a great snack. I keep mine in my lunch cooler with everything else and typically wait until about 2 PM for that extra little boost in the afternoon time when everyone else starts circling the vending machines at work.
ReplyDeleteThat tiny bit of cocoa doesn't look like nearly enough to cover them that many almonds, but it is. If I had tried to create something like this I would have used waaaaay to much cocoa/sweetener. This definitely looks like something I could make and portion and leave at school for after school snacks some days. I'm always looking for healthy options that don't need refrigeration and don't take a lot of prep effort on my part.
ReplyDeleteYum! I've had cocoa ones and I've had bold spicy ones and I like them both. What I cannot eat is plain old almonds with nothing on them. I attempted to do this a few weeks ago and I gagged through it. I did buy some raspberry ones, but have not had the courage to try them yet. I'm not a "nut" fan for the most part, but am trying to branch out and eat them because I know there are health benefits. I like this recipe a lot -- into my SATW recipe file it goes! =o)
