We’re Cool Like That

By Courtney 44 Comments

I am SO GLAD that you guys are finding Christina’s work to be as amazing as I do! If you haven’t already done so, make sure to check out this afternoon’s post for a chance to win your own Customized Signature Tree.

*****

After spending the majority of the afternoon out running errands, I came home to catch up on emails and some blog-related tasks. Well, wouldn’t you know, for the third time in the past four months, I gave my computer a nasty virus.

Remember my love/hate relationship with Wednesday Workouts? Well, I also have a love/hate relationship with technology. Sometimes, computers drive me bonkers!

Thank goodness I have an amazingly computer-savvy hubby, who came home just in the nick of time to to fix my mistakes. Ughhh…thank you, Jay. You’re awesome.

Dinner

Neither Jay or I were in the mood for much of an extravagant dinner tonight. You’d think that when we finally have a free night with no softball and no other plans that we’d actually want to cook? Nope…not us. We’re cool like that. Smile

IMG_6775

So instead, I made us some killer turkey sandwiches with ears of corn on the cob and cucumber sticks.

I really think that I could eat corn on the cob everyday during the summer. I need to start buying it more…it’s soooo delicious (on the cob OR off!)

IMG_6776

My sandwich was made up of turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, bread and butter pickles, and honey mustard. Oh how I just love me a fresh turkey sandwich sometimes!

IMG_6778

As for tonight’s dessert, I already have a little something up my sleeve…

IMG_6771

Check these babies out! About a month ago, I signed up for and was selected to be a part of the Lindt Excellence Influencers Club, and just recently received these two chocolate bars to sample and review.

IMG_6772

I’m super intrigued by these two bars; usually, I’m a little skeptical about “intense” dark chocolate, but the 70% Cocoa Nut Crunch and the 70% Almond Brittle flavors have totally grabbed my attention. I can’t wait to dig in…YUM! Smile

On a side note, I was told today that I am the Featured User over on Celebrations.com. Feel free to head on over and check it out!

Questions for the Evening:

What’s your favorite kind of chocolate (white/milk/dark/super dark…)?

Do you consider yourself “computer-savvy?”

    I love any chocolate that is done well. Amedei and Domori are spot on with almost everything - dark, milk, white... I personally thought the Lindt bars were tasty but had a dry melt.

    Oh gosh, I love any chocolate. Especially quality chocolate. I would say it depends on my mood... but dark chocolate might just be #1. I am by NO means computer savvy! I totally agree with having a love/hate relationship with computers/technology.

    I love dark chocolate, the full spectrum from 60% to 90% cocoa. Nuts, no nuts, wine infused (brilliant Australian chocolate company makes my favourite merlot chocolate :) ). Enjoy your Lindt!

    Any kind of chocolate is good with me, too! I can't decide on a favorite. ;) I'm mostly computer savvy. I've been able to figure out some stuff on my own, but the fact my boyfriend has a degree in computer/electrical engineering definitely helps! He is constantly working on computers he's bought off ebay or for friends that need help. He can also work on cars. I love it!

    I think I'm pretty computer savvy, I've always somehow been able to fix a glich or do this or that on a computer...my mom has always said I have a natural knack for it ;) And I love how you and the hubby do simple dinners too...I am so not in the mood to put any efforts into tonight's so I'm already planning to have a turkey & avocado sandwich for dinner - it's the simple meals that are sometimes the best! :)

    Last year I went through 7 work computers because of viruses! IT was starting to get suspicious but, I swear it was normal usage. So annoying though! Simple dinners on nights with no plans are perfect because then you have more down time :)

    Fave chocolate is dark! The Lindt bars with sea salt - OMG. Of course, I pretty much like all chocolate, just not white - there's something about white chocolate that seems unnatural! I feel like I'm relatively computer savvy, but when I run into trouble I just call my stepdad!

      Nice and simple...in a pot of boiling, salted water for about 10 minutes. Sometimes if we've already got the grill on, we'll cook it on there, but it's usually a stove top method :)

    I LOVE dark chocolate, and those two kinds sound delicious! If you give a good review I just might have to go get some : ) I'm compleeeetely not computer-savvy (SO far from it), but thankfully my fiance is a computer science major and can always fix whatever issues I'm having with mine.

    :) How about that for "super dark" ... a few weeks ago I tried the 99% (!!!) Lindt chocolate. I know that's hard to believe. I mean, 99%??? I could hardly believe it myself. You can see a picture of it here: http://www.lindt.com/de/swf/ger/produkte/tafeln/dunkle-schokolade/excellence-99/ But, to be honest, I did NOT like it. It tasted as I expected it to taste - just as pure, dark cacao. I liked white and milk chocolate best, but then I got used to dark chocolate (75% - 85%) -because it is said, that dark chocolate is very healthy- and now I am in love with it. My favorite brands are Lindt and Feodora. This summer I ate a piece of Lindt's dark chocolate with lime quite often ... :)

    Oh, I'm sorry, I just realized the lime chocolate is from Feodora, not Lindt. But delicious, nonetheless. I can tell, I am eating a piece right now :) .
