Friday, I took my beetle into London to get a headlight replaced.
Then we ate at the mall, Greek salad and chicken instead of Chinese food
Then my Daughter had a soccer game in London.
After the game we went to Chapters. $tarbuck's Tazo Chai Latte...you know what? they are tasting too sweet for me now...
We got home about 10.

Today I spent the day working at my parents' booth...(It's a long weekend in Canada)
Scooping ice cream, making fries and burgers...(we sold over $400 in ice cream today)
I ate some blueberries before I went, but I still had booth food. A burger patty with cheese (my mom makes the patties - just beef, no filler) tomato slices and a water mellon slice for lunch. I drank TONS of lemon water, but I had raspberry and truffles ice cream at 3. Then I had a few fries, a few gummy worms... I decided to make potato salad in the afternoon (I thought it would keep me away from the fries - it worked - kinda) I had perch and potato salad and coleslaw for supper. Another water mellon slice, a few more gummy worms and a tiny serving of carmel carmel cup ice cream...

They want me to come back out and help them again tomorrow...

I don't know what it is about being out there. Normally I don't snack. But at the booth, I am "mouth hungry", nibbling but not hungry.
Sigh.
I've got to think of something to take with me to help with the "mouth hunger"...

Gum? Sugar-free breath mints? I know when I'm sucking on stuff like that, everything else tastes like crap so I'm not tempted.

It would be really hard to resist so much delicious food when it's right there in front of you though.

I know, I use those fruity gums as dessert Y_Y

The ice cream choices I was faced with for the past two days:
Key Lime
Cotton Candy
Pralines
Black Sweet Cherry
French Vanilla
Chocolate
Caramel Caramel Cup (my old favorite)
Peanut Butter Cup Roundup (not really a temptation for me - I HATE peanut butter!)
Maple Walnut
Gold Medal Ribbon
Butterscotch Ripple
Raspberry and Truffles (my new favorite)

It was HARD!
I managed to hold out until 3pm (starting at 11am) before I had a small tea cup full of Raspberry and Truffles, Caramel Carmel Cup and Pralines

Saturday I was at the booth from 9am until 10pm and Sunday I was there from 11 am until 9 pm.

Sunday I managed to avoid the gummy worms until 5 pm, when my "job" was refilling the candy bags...

I made a salad for lunch on Sunday and we cooked chicken breasts on the grill to go with it.

Supper was a burger patty with coleslaw and potato salad and a grilled zucchini.

After we closed the booth at 9 we walked down to the marina for the fireworks display. It was Excellent.

Today I slept till 10am

Then after lunch I helped my Farmer paint (again)
we got back at 3 and jumped into the pool (with coolers and beer)
3 coolers and a glass of wine later, I had cod (with lemon and garlic) on tinfoil on the BBQ with kohlrabi, carrots and potatoes with garlic (wrapped in tinfoil)
And a chocolate covered ice cream on a stick

I'd rather paint in 30 C weather than work in the booth...less temptation...
