If nothing else, Friday should be fun right?!
Well, here is a Fun Friday Food Fact for you
According to Wikipedia (and several other sources) ice cream was first made in China…
Ancient civilizations have served ice for cold foods for thousands of years. The BBC reports that a frozen mixture of milk and rice was invented in China around 200 BC, and in 618-97 AD, King Tang of Shang had 94 men who made a frozen dish of buffalo milk, flour, and camphor.[1] The Roman Emperor Nero (37–68) had ice brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings. These were some early chilled delicacies.
No wonder I love Chinese food so much, they created my fave food ever – ice cream!!!
Monica’s Fun Fact: *Actually, I love frozen yogurt more than ice cream, and always have. I don’t choose it because of health reasons, I like the softer, “melt-ier” texture and toppings varieties!!! Even if calories didn’t matter and I wanted to indulge I would pick fro-yo every time. Now I want some!
I really wanted to hit up the store for some veggie bacon for lunch, but decided to eat what I had planned – a veggie burger in a wrap. 
Isn’t this plate so pretty? I think I got it at Marshall’s. 
Dessert was a Nutty Bit – I found one completely covered in chocolate. That fact made me a little too happy.
The Winter Olympics are starting!!!
I’m excited for the winter games! My fave sports are ice skating and snow boarding (to watch, not participate obviously). What are your faveorites?
Here is the official Vancouver Olympics website for more info 🙂
Nice impressions though; the final paragraph in particular mirrors my own thoughts on the game good fun in small amounts.
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that its nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
Nice post ! Cheers for, visiting this blog page dude. I will email you soon! I did not know that.
There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice factors in options also.
I am continually searching online for ideas that can assist me. Thank you!
link:link:I used to be very encouraged to find this site. I needed to thanks for this special read. I undoubtedly savored every little little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post. This great and i hope u check tv desktop
Corey its really a tough call. I also really enjoyed the North Olympic Discovery Marathon (Ill be running it again this year), but as with any Washington state race, weather can be a crapshoot. We had great weather last year, but it could be hot this year. If you want cooler, theres always the Seattle Marathon in late November!
I have been checking out a few of your posts and i can state pretty good stuff. I will surely bookmark your blog.
I really loved your post, thanks for sharing. Scanning
This definitely answered my trouble, thanks!
No really need to look at other websites now, everything that I needed is here
Salut les gens quel est votre point de vue de mon nouveau site sur l’ immobilier ?
I also love Chinese food! But it always makes me sleepy and hungry after an hour of eating it. That’s why I try to stay away from it when I can.
I prefer frozen yogurt too! Meltiness is definitely a plus!
Great plate! Love the color and the rim!
Beautiful blue plate! Marshall’s and TJ Maxx are so great for housewares! I think I’ll go get some new dishes this weekend now that I think of it…
i’ll take all your ice cream and you can have all my fro-yo. fair trade? 🙂
i like fro yo more than ice cream for the same reasons. love the melty-ness. 🙂
So excited for the Olympics too! The opening ceremony being my favorite.
Ice skating, hands down my favorite event – hubby? He doesn’t like watching the Olympics that much, so he reminds me that’s why we have four t.v.’s! 😀
I always forget that Marshall’s has the home goods section – I typically think of it as a clothes store!
chocolate covered heaven those things are. Ill happily take ice cream or yogurt.
Question–would you rather have baby carrots that are slimy (you know what I’m talking about) or dried out looking like yours (hehe)?
I’d rather dried out.
I love vanilla soft serve w/chocolate jimmies
Speed skating is the bizness!
I love to watch ice skating!! I always have ever since I was little. I have never done it though… as my lack of coordination would lead to me with a very very very cold frozen behind.
Short Track!!!!!
I like fro-yo, too. I just prefer soft serve…and all the toppings! I haven’t had good fro-yo since I left California, um a really long time ago. I’m so excited for the Olympics; I’m all about the figure skating.
I love, love, love mens snowboarding–Shaun White FTW! I also like to watch alpine skiing and short track speed skating. Figure skating was more fun to watch in the Michelle Kwan era, now I don’t know who anyone is.
Girl, I love them all, but I’m a big fan of the ski races 🙂 Go USA and Jamaica 🙂
Go USA! We’ll be watching the men’s hockey pretty closely – the Team USA goalie is the starter for the Buffalo Sabres, the husband’s home team 🙂 We better bring home the gold!!
I like ice skating and skiing. They make it look so easy!!
I love the meltiness of froyo too, but if I had to choose, I’d pick soft serve ice cream…choco/vanilla twist in a cone 🙂
I choose frozen yogurt every time, too! I don’t get why people hate it. It’s creamy, sweet, and delicious!
