I feel like I can justify a third food posting in a row by saying, "I'm pregnant! I can't help it!" Just to get it all out of my system (for the next few hours, anyway) I'm going to share several thoughts and experiences from today about food.
1. This morning I had some of the most delightful pastries I've eaten in a long time. My mom called me up and asked if I'd like to run a few errands with her. I jumped at the chance, because the last three days, I haven't left the house til after dinner. I just needed to get out. (I know I need to get used to this....that's what life with a newborn will be like.) We first visited the bakery "Three Women and an Oven", where my mom had a few dollars on a gift card somebody had given her. We sampled a Chocolate Kahlua mini-cake, a German Chocolate mini-cake and I'm currently nibbling on a Mound of Joy bar with a glass of milk. Fabulous!!
2. Following the bakery stop, we went to Sam's Club, because my mom wanted to "buy some sheets for her new king-sized bed." Well you know how Sam's Club goes...don't you? You enter intending to purchase one thing, and keep thinking, "wow, what a great deal!" about everything--and your cart becomes full very quickly. We were there at least an hour and a half. I successfully left without buying anything, but we sampled our way through the food section. I decided Sam's is like attending a wedding reception. Appetizer after appetizer of delicious little bits of food. I tried cheese, Emeril's spicy sausage, fried shrimp, a nice tomato and turkey pinweel, organic chocolate milk, and BBQ shredded pork. And I didn't even try everything. I was actually so full after our bakery and Sam's stops that I didn't eat lunch!
3. Upon returning home, I checked a few blogs and noticed that one friend of mine had posted a few new websites she's recently found. I spent the next few hours getting lost on a site called Foodgawker.com. Just have a glimpse. I'm currently contemplating when I can find the perfect excuse to make the Hot Cocoa Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting!
4. My last food thought is one about Chick-Fil-A. If any of you already read the Grocery Weekly, you know about the free chicken you, too, can get on this coming Monday. Click on this link to Chick-Fil-A's promotional site to find out more. The website itself is very funny, with cheerleading cows and everything! http://www.cheerforchicken.com/ I'm not going to lie, Mark and I are pretty excited about free chicken strips! It's the little things in life....

I'm not going to lie - I am TOTALLY Jealous that you have the option to eat Chick-Fil-A even if you have to pay for it. I love their chicken and hate that I can't get it here! Frown.
Enjoy some for me too. :)
Don't worry Em. I did stuff with Addison as a newborn all the time. In fact, I was out running errands with my mother-in-law 3 days after she was born. I was walking a little slower, but it was still a fun experience. I would totally recommend getting out there in the world. I guess it also depends on your personality too. I hate being cooped up in the house and figured my child would feel the same way!
I love food too. Gosh, it's so funny how that really does happen when you're pregnant. You just think about it constantly. :)
