I've not heard of this before, but I think I'd really like to take part in Trampoline Gymnastics in the Olympics.

Metromint - water+mint

I had read about Metromint, basically mint flavored water (some have other add-ins). It kind of intrigued me. I then found them on sale, 10/$10 at Fred Meyer last week. So I figured I would give them a try.

I got the Orangemint and Chocolatemint. I was kind of excited to try them. I opened the Orangemint and took a sip. Then decided I did not really want any more. The Orangemint tastes like stale water with the peppermint gritty tooth paste stuff that the dentist cleans your teeth with, plus a hint of orange. As soon as the flavor hits my tongue, the association with the dentistś office kicks in and makes me not want to swallow, even though I know itś water.

The Chocolatemint was not as bad, it tastes like a less minty Andes mint, with a little stale water taste.

So, if you were considering Metromint water, I would say save your money. Buy a lemon or lime, make some other water that tastes yummy.

Chai Ice Cream

Back in February or something, when it was still freezing here, my husband found this awesome recipe for Chai Ice Cream. I love Chai tea, and knew this ice cream would be delicious. But it was February, and freezing, so the idea of making ice cream didn't appeal to me.

On Friday while out shopping, I remembered the recipe, and got ingredients for it. Made it yesterday for some friends and now we want more! Itś our new favorite flavor... A bit time intensive to make, but so worth it.

... uh, wouldn't that then be foresight?
