THE WAIT IS OVER!!!!!

Finally! I feel like I've been waiting for August 20th forever! But it's finally here! My most favorite show ever is back!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I've missed Heidi and Tim and all their ridiculously crazy challenges. I'm sorry, but Bravo's replacement "The Fashion Show" just didn't do it for me. Same concept, crappier challenges and weak designers. Just goes to show that you can never replace an original. Bravo should have paid up. Long live Timm and Heidi. Long live Project Runway!

And to make this season even more spectacular than ever is a new show to follw PR, called Models of the Runway. I'm being a little cautious in my excitement for this show, cause in the past the models they've had on PR haven't exactly been the most interesting people ever. But maybe this season they got some great girls. It's like Tyra's Top Model meets Project Runway. I am hoping Awesomeness will ensue. But remember friends, it's no longer on Bravo, you will have to go to Lifetime for this little slice of heaven. Set your Tivos now.

Happy Project-Runway-Is-Back-Day Everyone!!!

So, as I've told you before, hubs has some strange fascination with survival television. I used to rationalize this interest by saying that he was you know, just kinda like looking out for the family. In case we are ever stranded in the middle of the Sahara Desert or something. Or perhaps like a lazy mans provident living. Learn how to live off the land. That sort of thing. In fact, I'm sure if we ever run into hard times and have no food, Hubs could cook us up a delicious meal of grass and leaves. And then I will feel silly about ever joking in the least bit about this fascination. But I'm starting to think this Discovery channel craziness is getting a we bit out of control. I mean, first it was Man Vs. Wild, then it was Survivorman, then Men Vs. Wild,then Deadliest Catch (um yeah.) but now it's this show.

It's another Discovery Channel delight called The Colony. It's another survival reality show. Only this time, a bunch of people bunk up in an old warehouse, become convinced that world has come to an end, and they are the last people left on earth. Really, even as they are giving interviews to the camera men they are scared and worried about their survival. What? See that camera? You are on TV. Not in any danger of dying. It makes no sense. Somehow they become so stupid, I mean psychologically convinced of this fact that they actually make some pretty interesting TV. At first I thought, oh great. Another Discovery Channel gem to take up space on my DVR. And well, after watching about 4 full episodes, I can honestly say it's officially the dumbest show ever. Although I do wish I was as brilliant as the professor who can make the most incredible things out of a carburetor, hanger and a piece of gum. Seriously. Where did they get this guy?

SUMMER PRODUCT LOVE

Hey bloggers. Sorry it's been so long. Things have been extra crazy around here, as tends to happen when Summer is in full swing. We've been out and about and enjoying ourselves immensely. But because of this, the blog has been lacking. Sorry about that folks. Hopefully things will slow down a bit come September.

Well, today I thought I'd go ahead and do a little showcase of food products I have been thoroughly enjoying as of late. I love to hear about products via blogs that people enjoy. I find that I like products people recommend so much more than if I just pick my own. Weird. Yes, I know.

Here goes nothing.


Okay, first off is this little lovely bottle of salad dressing. Ever since my whole salt/sodium fiasco that is my life took over, I've been scouring the shelves at the grocery store looking for products that taste good without all the salt. And believe you me, its one difficult task. Sure you can find full-fat dressings that are lower in salt but you have to be willing to down 30 plus grams of fat in TWO?! tablespoons. Um, no thank you. But then I came across this little bottle, and I have been enjoying it immensely ever since. It is Bernsteins Light Fantastic Cheese Fantastico. In a normal 2 Tb it has only 25 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and get this, only 370 mg of sodium!! Incredible. I've seen dressing with close to 1200 mg so this is great. It tastes amazing too. Kinda like the Olive Garden salad dressing but without all the guilt. Yay for bernesteins!



Moving right along. I tried, and tried to find a picture on the web of my next item, but no luck. Oh well. So, a while back my hubby took me out for Sushi. Not really a fan. I enjoy a good miso, and a California roll, but other than that, I'll pass. See, I rather like things cooked. Raw mostly equals squishy. Yucko. But we went to this restaurant called Tsunami. And he knows how I LOVE spicy food so he suggested the ribs. Ribs?! At a sushi place? That can't be good. But dear friends, it is. Soooooo good. And I have them every time I go. Miso, edamame, and ribs. Almost heavenly. The sauce they put on those ribs is nothing short of royalty. But then one day Hubs came home with a bottle of the enlightened sauce (jalapeno teriyaki sauce) they douse on the ribs. And well, we've been dousing it on everything from Salmon (delightful!!) to chicken even veggies. And let me tell you. It is fan-double-tastic. I'm pretty certain I could drink this straight from the bottle, but well, that's just not civilized.




My next product has been a standby for quite some time. I will freely admit that I love a good soda. And yes, I am aware of the damage it is doing to my bones and teeth, and honestly, I DON'T CARE. So, yeah. Get over it. But a while back I did try to switch over from the full sugar sodas to the diet. And lets just say I haven't been all that impressed. Until I tried the diet Sunkist. And I swear, I can't tell the difference. Yes friends, it's that good. Try it out for yourself. DIET SUNKIST = PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH.



My next food item I have been enjoying almost nightly since it was introduced to me by my good friend Stacie S. last Thursday while out with the girls. The location? A hole in the wall gas station in Zion on 17th and 17th called Stop n' Go. The food item? THE MOST DELICIOUS FAT FREE FRO YO EVER. And I have to admit, I'm kinda a snob about my fro yo. I haven't cheated on Maverick in a while. Sure, I did once on a friends recommendation to try Red Mango. Tried it. Loved it. The green tea flavor that is. But now, the green tea flavor has been discontinued because I'm sure people think that if you eat green tea ice cream apparently it is like buying a one way ticket to hell. And well, I was enjoying hell. Until they got rid of it. Too many saints headed over to the dark side I guess. So then I went back to Maverick. But ever since I've had the Stop n' Go, Fro Yo, I haven't' been back. And the last two times I went to Stop N' Go I had the Fat Free Sugar Free Frozen Yogurt. And bloggers, this was delightful. Absolutely so much that I can't stop going. I might need a Stop n' Go intervention.


So, these are my enjoyments as of late. It's the simple things people. Really.

HAGS!
