I really don't know. That stuff isn't even maple syrup (which, if you get the real stuff, is pretty heavenly), it's artificially flavored and colored high fructose corn syrup. Gross.

I wasn't just using the Aunt Jemima (sp?) syrup, but the pancake mix!!! Or whatever brand it was. Convenient when all you have to do is add water, yes, but it so, SO pales in comparison to those awesome homemade pancakes with fresh fruit. I froze the extra pancakes, and my toddler's dinner last night was a warmed pancake topped with a fried egg. The pancakes are thick, almost like a biscuit, and ridiculously good with a runny egg on top. If I weren't watching my calories, that would have been my dinner too!

I was out yesterday and tried one of the new Blackberry Mojito Tea Lemondes yesterday at Starbucks. I had to stop an hour later at a different shop to get another. Apparently they will give you a refill for $0.53 - yay! It was so good!

Toasted whole wheat bread with nutella, peanut butter, honey, and banana.

Breyers Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint ice cream!

We've been making big pitchers of decaf black tea sweetened only with herbs and frozen fruit. I just had a glass of tea with mint and honeydew. So good!

Ritz cracker topped with peanut butter and chocolate.

The walnut-honey thing sounds amazing! Definitely going to try that this weekend!

I like a fresh mixed green salad topped with LOTS of 1 day old tabouli. Ugh so so good. And random I know!

I slow-roasted tomatoes in the oven this weekend, then used them to make a BLT. Added some fresh basil to the mayo I was using. Divine!

Krispy Kreme donuts.

I just had a lobster roll for the first time in a while. Forgot how good they were! I may have to become a habitue at Luke's Lobster for the rest of the summer... an expensive habit!

the first mouthful of a mocha frappachino

Pretzels dipped in Tillamook peanut butter chocolate ice cream.

By eating a waffle covered in walnuts and honey.

What unexpected food gives you much pleasure?
