Ahh, rather uneventful day today. Made Sizzlin’ Sausages for dinner tonight, first new recipe of the month. It was very good, but not a WOW recipe, and if you’ve been joining me for awhile, you know by now, I only save WOW recipes.
Made Strawberry Bread for my son to take into school today — yum. Love that stuff! Original recipe comes from a cooking board I frequent. It’s SO flavorful and easy to make, and with strawberries being reasonably priced these days, it’s a perfect time of year to be making it.
I’m a bit late with this “news” story, but just in case you haven’t heard, healthy living has even hit Sesame Street! Now each Sesame Street episode will open with a health tip about nutrition, exercise, hygiene and rest. They’re also planning on introducing new characters, such as talking eggplants and carrots, and even guest stars will be getting in on the act.
Apparently, even Cookie Monster is going to have to start working on controlling his cookie cravings. He’s going to be teaching lessons on moderation being the key to healthy living. They promise that they’re not going to put him on a diet (perish the thought!), but will be introducing him to other types of cookies (read: healthy alternatives) beyond his standard chocolate chip. What’s next? Granola bars for the blue-furred lovable monster? They also promise that he will still do his haphazard way of gobbling cookies upon sight … anything less would be messing with perfection. Thank goodness they’re stopping the makeover there.
Healthy Living Hits Sesame Street
Nicholas says we’re making cupcakes tomorrow, so until then…
“C” is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me….

Yeah! A little off topic, but I just wanted to let you know that your blog works now in Firefox. The posts use to be half white and half pink but are now all white. Did you change something? Or did Blogger do an automatic update? Either way it is much easier to read. It looks great!
I did change something. I had no idea that some people were having problems, until I got an e-mail from a fellow blogger with an offer to help. Glad to hear it worked!! :D
