Beetbabies

Charla and Tara (name that reference!)'s friendship hails back to the days of yore, to nursery rhymes and toys, scrunched hair and entire cakes. Now living in two different cities, sharing our urban and semi-urban adventures. Basically, conversations about low-calorie snacks and boys, with random other things sprinkled in.

Discoveries of the Weekend

1. Better N' Peanut Butter. With 85% less fat and 40% less calories than real PB, this is an absolute godsend for me because I am SO that girl who stands in the kitchen with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. Love this stuff.

2. Vitalicious Vita Muffins, in the Chocolate flavor. Great alone, great slathered in #1.

3. This store (Mint Julep):
"Distraught by the chain-ification of the area, Mint Julep owners Brooke Garber and Stephanie Nist wanted to bring a little funkiness back to the Square — to the tune of their new shop, which stocks labels like Ben Sherman, Tibi, and Ella Moss.

Even Brookline devotees might find themselves crossing the Charles to pick up additional lines from Ted Baker, Orla Kiely, and Rachel Pally — as well as local accessories from the likes of Garnish and Designs by Hillary.

The new location is so close to the eternal line at the Border Cafe, you can easily duck out and buy yourself a new getup before they’ve even poured your margarita.

Or, more fittingly, your mint julep." (courtesy of Daily Candy)

4. This blog. He makes me laugh.

5. I have a Not-So-Secret Admirer who is a bit of a blast from the past. And this couldn't have come at a better (lower) time.


Now if only I could discover how to put links in my damn posts! (Anyone know how to do it on a MAC?)

It tastes different than but as good as my usual pb, skippy reduced fat chunky. A bit saltier, maybe, and it needs to be refrigerated... I bought it at a non-TJ's store, the big supermaket around here (Shaw's), so you probably don't have to go to a specialty store. And apparently it comes in chocolate-pb flavor too?!
