The Daily Balance

You thought I was going to start raving about my obsession of pumpkin spice lattes again, didn’t you?

wrong again, folks, wrong again!

You were certainly on the right track in thinking PUMPKIN, though

My new obsession:

Pumpkin ice.

Don’t scrunch your noses at me! This is not your typical snow-cone…

No, no, no! Rita’s Italian Ice offers up an array of of delicious flavors, which are perfectly blended to an almost creamy consistency. You can order the ice straight up, blend it with custard or fat free frozen yogurt, or layer it.

I layered the pumpkin ice with fat free yogurt for an amazingly creamy concoction.

I wish I could have shrunken myself Wayne Szalinski-style and jumped right in!

This is a dangerous addiction, folks. This place is a good 45 minutes from our house — the Mister better stock up on gas!

** sorry for the late (and only) post today, I JUST got back from jury duty.

I know I missed Thankful Thursday — but right now I’m just thankful to be home. I’m going to take advantage of it by cuddling up with my Mister — Grey’s and the Office start soon! (The Mister and I also watch Community and Parks and Rec — both so funny!)

What are you watching tonight?
