1. I made scones last night. I used this recipe and while they looked right, when they cooled off, they had more of a muffin texture. They were cake-like instead of crumbly. I think it’s because I used whipped butter instead of regular. They still taste really great though.
2. You know how sometimes you’ll wake up before the alarm and glance at the clock and it’s two minutes before the alarm is going to go off and that sucks? Well, today, I woke up and it was only 6:30 (I get up at 7:15) and I was anticipating a nice 45 minutes more of sleep when Murphy came bounding into the bed. He sleeps in the bed sometimes, but today, he decided not to sleep next to me, but to sleep on me. So, at 6:30 in the morning, my 60 lb dog decided it was most comfortable for him to lay directly on my legs. I tried to move and then he ended up sleeping between my legs. Argh.
3. I bought a new flavor of Sabra hummus. Consensus – it tastes like tuna salad. I didn’t know if it was just me, but Jason confirmed that the hummus does, in fact, taste like tuna. Good thing I like tuna.
4. A couple weeks ago, Carol recommended that I try a Body Works class since LA Fitness doesn’t offer Body Pump. I found out there was one at the gym by my house at 7 tonight, so I gave it a go. Success! I liked it. I have never done Body Pump before so I can’t tell you if it was similar or not, but it was a lot of light weights with high reps. We did a lot of core work in this particular class, but I get the feeling it’s different each time. At least I hope it is.
And that’s all I’ve got.
Love the rambles! I’ve realized that if I wake up within about 30 minutes of the alarm, I do better if I just get up. Otherwise I am more tired when I just fall back asleep and the alarm actually goes off.
Where do you always find these new Sabra hummus varieties? I feel like my grocery store only has a few options.
Publix.
That scone looks ridiculous good (even if the texture wasn’t perfect!!). Tuna ? YUCK! totally not buying that- thanks for the note
LOL! I love this random post…and tuna flavored hummus? Um, weird. But I guess I might like it ok since I like tuna, too??
I don’t think it’s supposed to taste like tuna, it just does to me!
I do not like tuna, so that would be an issue for me. The scones look delicious!
I love baked goods – whether cake-0like or crumbly! Oh and I like tuna salad too but I don’t know how I’ll feel about hummus that tastes like tuna hehe
Yay- so glad you tried out the new class! Very cool!
I like tuna too- I have it for lunch today. I’ll have to check out that hummus!
I made Janetha’s scones last week and they were AWESOME!
And whoa- you get up at 7:15? That rules! I guess I’ll be able to do that soon enough (except Mon and Tues). I will NOT miss waking up in the 5′oclock hour for work!
I actually originally intended to make her scones but I had whey protein powder which she didn’t recommend using, so I just found another recipe that didn’t include protein powder.
I woke up SIX minutes before my alarm today. I almost cried.
Woo!! I’m glad you liked the body works class! Let me know if you ever want to go to one together. I usually go to the one at Midtown at 5:45. That is so weird that the hummus tastes like tuna!!
Unfortunately, I don’t leave work (in Norcross) until 6, but if you ever want to go to the Northlake 7pm class, let me know!
