Healthy greens in stamped greens! Thanks to my friend Sarah for making this yummy salad last weekend… and serving it in one of my glazed serving bowls. Ever notice how handmade pottery can even make “healthy” food look better?! HA!!!

This week in my classes we taste-tested the newest OREO flavor… Chocolate Covered Pretzel !!! And we were all pleasantly surprised… the cookie actually tastes a bit like a pretzel… complete with a hint of salt!!! And the chocolate filling?… yummy as always!!!

Last night in class, one of my students returned from a trip Ireland… with yummy souvenirs in tow!!! Even better when I referred to them with my terrible leprechaun impression!

Thanks Tessa… and welcome home!!!

We also found farm fresh eggs on the side of the road… payment on the honor system!!! And with the way eggs have been so crazy lately… I gladly left my money in the box and grabbed a dozen eggs!!!

And while many of us… ME… are still working on our taxes…
it looks like Pam has been busy in the kitchen! And then sharing her “Salted Caramel Chocolate Oreo Pie.” It sure sounds good… I like every word in the title!!! And it looks pretty darn tasty in a handmade & stamped pie plate too!

You gotta love when a surprise “care package” arrives in the mail… this time from my friend Tracy! Who may have seen “somewhere” that I have a thing for OREO’s?! So when she recently went to France, she brought back a box of French OREOs for me. I can’t quite read the ingredients list or the nutritional information… but I’m just assuming that I don’t “want” to see that anyway!

It is good to see there is some protein in OREO’s though!!!

After last week’s “terrible” Irish Creme Thin OREO’s…
We approached this week’s new flavor with a bit of trepidation. Especially since I am NOT a fan of the real tiramisu dessert. I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink alcohol, not a fan of puffy-squishy lady fingers… and that fluffy moussey stuff?! Not a fan… mousse???… is it pudding, is it frosting, is it whipped cream? What it is it trying to be? My “palate of a four-year-old” gets confused. Too many things I’m not excited about. But I digress…

So we tried the new OREO flavor this week… and I must admit it wasn’t all that bad. I mean, we finished the bag!!! Much better reviews from my students than last week’s package of Irish Creme… that we actually ended up throwing away the leftovers!!!

Tonight was the the first night of the new Spring session of classes at Lillstreet… so of course we needed the new flavor of OREOs to kick it off!!! Not too sure about this flavor. It didn’t win me over right away… the Jury is still out.

OREO UPDATE : Okay… the Jury is done deliberating.

I tried sharing them with three of my pottery classes… and NO ONE likes them!!! For the first time, we didn’t finish the package… and I ended up throwing away the leftovers. Wait… what?… throwing away OREOs??? Really?… YES!!!

And just for the record… in case you were wondering… LUCKY CHARMS do taste even better in a new handmade Shamrock Bowl. Just sayin’… they still need more marshmallows!!!

You know how I love a good holiday… well, today was NATIONAL OREO COOKIE DAY!!! What better way to celebrate a Thursday???… well, that and playing with my Lillstreet Throwdown students in class… followed by a late night watching THE TRAITORS finale!!! So sad it’s over… but always better with OREO’s!!!
