L had a craving for iced coffee the other night and we googled it and came up with this recipe. Except we just shook it up in my new cocktail mixer and it was delicious and frothy.
M and I went to a nice barbecue last night, I started off with a Cosmopolitan cocktail (I should've asked them to make it virgin though, as I'm not a drinker). I had a shrimp appetizer and some kind of vegetable roll with cilantro. The main course was salmon, steak, roast potatoes, asparagus, tomato and bonconcini cheese. Dessert was various flavours of delicious biscotti with coffee.
K helped me do groceries yesterday as my back is still not 100%. He said it was difficult to help me because I kept telling him 'don't put that there, put it here'. I didn't realize I was so set in my ways.
I received the following in an email and thought that if snopes says it's true then it must be:
'Subject: Expired Products
Read on guys!
Be aware!
This is true…
A student at HBHS (high school) had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal. His Mom (registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped him off at school and headed to play tennis. She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this time and her son called to say he was having trouble breathing. She told him to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call school and alert the nurse. The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying. Evidently this is more common then I ever knew. Check the expiration dates on packages like pancakes and cake mixes that have yeast which over time develop spores. Apparently, the mold that forms in old mixes can be toxic! Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, Bisquick, brownie mixes etc you have in your home.

Thank you for the pancake story!! I tell hubster this all the time and he is like, na, it's all good! I never use anything past the expiry it is on the package for a reason not just to have him work overtime so I can "waste more" truly words that fell from his mouth.
That is scary about the pancake story. Ouch! Another reason not to indulge in packet anything. I think I am going to steer away from all this stuff. Cosmopolitan - well it wont hurt you and the dinner sounds delicious!
Mom, to be honest, I have to go check my cupboards now. Scary.
Lilly, I'm guilty of 'packet anything' and you're right, back to homemade.
WHOA! SCARY!!
