Inappropriate Ice

by Eating Bird Food on February 2, 2010

OMG. Just look at the icicles that greeted me as I walked into work this morning.

Dicicles

Sorry in advance, especially if you are new reader, but the only term that could possibly describe this naturally forming phallic phenomena is “dick-cicles”. Really I can’t take credit for coining the term, Isaac is the mastermind behind that one. But seriously, isn’t that the craziest icicle creation you’ve ever seen?!?!?

Okay, now that I got that out of the way – here’s what I ate for breakfast.

Choco-coconut Chia Pudding with chocolate protein powder, coconut flakes, vanilla almond milk, and chia seeds. I made the mix last night and it got all gelatinous overnight, which was perfect because Isaac and I made it to the gym this morning (it wasn’t busy at all… hallelujah!). I took the pudding to work. topped it with a sliced banana and ate it at my desk.

I walked home for lunch annoyed by the every house that didn’t shovel their sidewalk. My normal 5 minute walk home took a whole 10-15 minutes because of them. I got happy and warm with a big bowl of potato soup with added tofu.

I also had a slice of toasted ww sunflower bread with Earth Balance. It wasn’t any pumpkin cornbread, but it was still quite tasty.

I’m not the biggest bread and butter fan, which probably stems from me loving to eat butter plain when I was young (Mom, Dad – why did you let me do this?). However today this little combo totally hit the spot.

I packed a Fruition Cran-Raspberry Bar for an afternoon snackarooney back at the office.

Smart thinking on my part as I was ready for something sweet soon after arriving back to my desk so I ended up gobbling this bar way before my normal snack time. The Cran-Raspberry wasn’t my favorite fruition flavor I’ve tried thus far. I think I like the blueberry best. But it was still tasty and it had chia seeds – which makes it great in my book!

The afternoon at work came and went and before I knew it dinner time had arrived. I prowled around the kitchen and decided to glaze some herbed tofu in the Maple Balsamic Sauce from ED&BV and baked it in the toaster oven.

Along with my delicious little tofu bites I had more potato soup. You know something is good when you choose it eat it for both lunch and dinner!!

It’s actually all gone now so I won’t be boring you all with it any longer. :)

Isaac and I went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox at a cheap theater near our house this evening. It was cute and the animation made it ridiculously fun to watch but I’m glad I only paid $2.00 and brought in my own microwaved popcorn.

See you all tomorrow with something more than potato soup and inappropriateness.

I’ve got so many inappropriate jokes…I won’t go there though. Your herb tofu looks great though.

Awesome pic. In all my winters I’ve never seen anything like that. Unlike Nicci I’ll throw out a joke.
You must have been looking good to get them……. UP? :-)

“Dick-cicles” lol! Oh my goodness, I wonder WHAT exactly was going through the sculptor’s head when he or she carved that gem.

The crazy part is that this wasn’t sculpted. It just formed from the ice…..

Pretty sure I love you even more now that you put a picture of phallic icicles on your blog and called them “dick-cicles.” Kudos to Isaac on coining, but double kudos to you on posting it :) I heart you!

Mmm tofu! I haven’t made tofu win WAY too long now. It has probably been almost a year since I bought it. Thanks for the reminder, lady!

Have a lovely night…you dirty mind, you.

Fantastic Mr. Fox was a great movie! I liked all the nods to Wes Anderson’s other movies too.

Am I the only boy who reads this blog? By all means, carry on. But, I think it’s only fair for me to point out that my homemade pizza dough feels like boobs.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was little I used to sit in a closet with a tub of butter and would eat straight out of it while reading books. HA
