This reminds me of the peach-strawberry swirled ice cream from Ham’s Orchard in Terrell, TX! My grandparents took me there when I was little, and when I was in high school, it was the ‘cool’ thing to head down there in the summer.

I take it back, THIS guy is Lebron.
This is the Thunder-Heat game right now….the Heat are aliens who have stolen all of the Thunder’s talent. Harden’s beard power isn’t even working!

What I Ate: Greek Yogurt is So Hot Right Now
So, you guys remember when I gushed all over the blog about the Ben & Jerry’s new Greek yogurt flavors?
Well, if you missed it, here it is.
I indulged my obsession again this morning when I went on a boredom trip to Target.

I love pineapple, and I love Greek yogurt. This (impulse) purchase was a no-brainer.
I licked the lid when I opened it, because I am a 6 year old that’s just what you do with yogurt, and it was shockingly tart. Much more tart than the vanilla part of the Ben & Jerry’s. I quickly twirled my spoon around in the carton to mix the pineapple on the bottom with the yogurt. Another quick taste. Muuuuch better.
I give this Greek yogurt 8 Big Fat Greek Weddings out of 10. I would really have loved more pineapple, but I’m a pineapple freak special, so you normals would probably be satisfied.

What I Ate: Crawfish (and Tacos)
I’m living in my college town over the summer while I intern at the Y, and my university is super awesome and offers tons of summer events.
Which is why…
…I found myself here—at a crawfish boil!
The event started at 11 am, and by 11:15, when my friends and I arrived, the line was even longer than this! At this point, they ran out of catfish and jambalaya. Major sad face. Luckily, we were there for the main event.
These puppies were hard to eat. Mostly because we had never done it before, and had no training. Oops. My sorority sister and roommate BB also had lots of trouble eating something that had eyes.
Me, I just posed for pictures with them.
So we ditched the free food and walked to the Fuzzy’s north of campus, where I got a tempura shrimp taco (delicious) and a veggie taco (not as delicious) to supplement my crawfish.
While we had to, you know, buy more food, as I kept saying throughout the meal, “this was an experience!!”.
A delicious one.
Photo of the day: my dinner. Nothing sounded good to me—except for breakfast. No healthy English muffin for me. Those are chocolate chip pancakes, super floppy bacon (just the way I like it) and a fried egg.
Get on my level.
What I Ate: Ben & Jerry’s Blueberry Vanilla Graham Greek Frozen Yogurt
Tonight, me and B needed our dessert fix. Smores were boring and overdone, cookies required too much effort, and frozen yogurt by the ounce was too far away.
So we trekked to Walmart, and then Homeland (our local grocery store), because I HAD TO HAVE THIS…
I’m a big fan of Greek yogurt, and this did not disappoint. Some bloggers said that there wasn’t enough graham swirl and that the yogurt was too tart, but I thought there was an adequate amount of graham. And I’m used to pay-by-the-ounce tart yogurt, so this was a literally perfect amount of tartness.
Photo of the Day: Full disclosure: I edited this picture into fabulousness. The original was brighter, but I couldn’t resist the chance to make this into a really cool silhouette of the boys on a storm chase.
