Friday's Fabulous Finds

Who is this wonderful person that developed the Pregnant woman's 'do not consume' list???? I wondered throughout my entire pregnancy ....... possibly a man or someone without taste buds. And it's one of the very first things my mid wife discussed with me. I can hear her now peeking over the brim of her spectacles. No sushi (gasp), hot dogs, certain fish, deli meat (now come on), no caffeine, watch your nut intake, no alcohol (by this time my gasp has become hyperventilating). I mean, for someone who enjoys Starbucks (affectionately called 'the bucks - thanks Shan of http://shanandthecity.blogspot.com) EVERY morning and a Panera sandwich lunch every afternoon, news like this requires an additional session with the therapist.

I'm happy to report I made it through without breaking the rules ........ well sorta...... does Bojangles sweet tea have caffeine??? And it was well worth it to have a completely healthy, bouncing baby chap.


Now, the 'do not consume' list has been burned and the ashes spread over my mid wife's BMW (ok just kidding). You'd think I would have immediately ran out and purchased my fav sushi roll and hot dog with a side of vodka while popping espresso beans. However, I wanted to take my time and really enjoy the forbidden fruit.


Ode to the Bucks who brilliantly came up with the perfect holiday drink.... Espresso Truffle. I tried this holiday bliss and I must say it's my new fav. Espresso Truffle combines Starbucks espresso with premium European-style cocoa blend and steamed milk, and topped it with whipped cream and a touch of chocolate powder. This sophisticated beverage delivers rich chocolate flavor with a velvety mouth feel balanced with a smooth coffee flavor. Ummmmm.

Please, Brody Lovers, don't put this off. Try it today!! Go now. Bring your boss one back. For every purchase, Starbucks donates five cents to the Global Fund which helps save lives in Africa!

TGIF, love, and kisses

Oh, by the way ..... keep your eyes peeled for "Everyone Loves Chloe"........................ coming very soon (squeal)
