No, Really - It's Healthy. I Promise!


For some time now, I've enjoyed the same dessert most every night - frozen strawberries.

I take some of the IQF ("Individually Quick Frozen") strawberries that I get at Costco (in six pound bagsi)  and I cut them in half until I've filled up a cereal bowl. Then I put the berries in the nukifier on Defrost for about two minutes, which leaves them still partially frozen. Then I cut them up some more - almost dice them.

At this point, I grab my bulk Splenda and dump a good bit of that on top, shake it down between the berries, and then pour on skim milk (lately it's been 1%, as Ethel's father told her that skim milk wasn't a good purchase for some reason or other. I don't know - I just married her; I've never understood her) and then mush it up nice with a spoon.


                                         

There's no fat (unless she has bought 1%) and a lot of fiber in here - and it's good groceries. Darn good groceries.

When Ethel's brother BIll was here, his daughter Megan and her friend from Germany saw me fixing this up after dinner on their first night, and they gingerly inquired - just what was that? I explained it, and Megan asked if she could have some?...then she and her friend allowed as to how they might share a bowl.

That was the last time that they shared a bowl.

After that, every night, each girl wanted her own bowl; when they got back to Wisconsin, it's my understanding that Megan asked her dad where they could get some frozen strawberries? : )

....I am not surprised at that reaction. What does surprise me is that nobody else eats this stuff. It's like strawberry ice cream, without the ice cream - just the strawberries :)

      DON'T try to chew it with the side of your mouth that just got the fillings and crowns....

      (N.B. - I just saw Guy in the hallway, and found out that he got two crowns and a filling this morning. Since I got two fillings and a crown last Monday, I know whereof I speak : )

    Delia and I occasionally do the frozen strawberries with Splenda for dessert thing also. We don't add milk but sometimes add some sugar free whipped cream (low carb version).

    Oh, and I just got two fillings - with a crown scheduled for June - must be somethin' going around.
