Succulent
display
While
I love shopping at Whole Foods in downtown Austin, I was willing to skip it on
my most recent trip. Turns out I stopped in, because their underground lot was
the only place I could park. No worries. I enjoyed a samples of cucumber and apple salad with a dill and
mustard vinaigrette, popcorn with red hot candies melted into it and chocolate
pita chips.
I
snapped a photo of the café table centerpieces. Sea salt and peppercorn
grinders flanked succulents which were growing out of Mason jars. Silver rims
were screwed on, but the flat part of lids were off to allow the fresh greenery
to flourish. It was an inviting breath of spring.
Energy
trend
Energems
offer edible energy made from real milk chocolate that you can look forward to
every day. Afternoon is my preference.
Energems,
are made to allow your body to absorb its B-vitamin blend faster and come in a little box
for on-the-go action. I don’t know how to take the makers’ press release
pointing out that you can keep them on the bedside table because “they will
make sure you enjoy your night, too.” At any rate, they come in flavors and I
like the mint. I guess I’ll come out and say it: They do pretty much look like
a giant m&m what with the hard shell and all. Oh, and celebs are eating
them up at red carpet swag situations.
Roll
with the rum balls
Is
chocolate rum balls the gift for every 30th anniversary? Or is it
just Tortuga Rum Cake Comanpy? We are the ones who get to celebrate, with a
coating of crispy sprinkles around a soft, fudgy center that packs rum flavor.
Those balls are like “medicine” for those who long for a Caribbean beach break.
Yep, those little rum cakes are still around with the galleon pirate ship
label. Port Arthur folks with Cayman ties are probably familiar.
I’ve
never had a rum ball I didn’t like, but I’m saying, these rum balls are my new
standard of what I do like.
