Wow, I did not realize I snacked so much last night. I guess lack of protein will do that to you. Wheeeeee! Well, I did trim my Chrismast tree for four freakin' hours. I named it Mister Shinypants.

First of all, check out my Space Invaders ice cubes. Aren't they the cutest? I can't wait to make colored ones.

In the morning, Yoplait sent me a gift: A bag full of Asana products. Oh, the joys of being a food blogger!


My Asana promo bag filled with goodies

It's a new product that is supposed to be good against bone troubles, like osteoporosis. I don't know about that part, but it tastes great. It's creamy and tastes like real yogourt and doesn't have aspartame in it (a little real sugar won't hurt you). I had one right away and one for lunch. I also gave a few to coworkers. They all liked it!

By the end of the day, my Yoplait bag was almost empty. I still have a full jar of plain yogourt, that may or may not be turned into turnip soup (the recipe was included).

And that thermal bag is pretty neat. I love that they didn't put a logo on it, otherwise I would not reuse it. Plain is best!

It's funny when I think about it. My blog is the perfect platform for this type of promo, since I blog everything I eat. I would really have to dislike a product not to try it. And if I try it, I HAVE to put it on my blog. Ha!

The joint has been revamped by the new owner, and the food is even better! I am so glad they kept to their greasy spoon origins. Old Montreal has enough chi-chi burger joints as it is.

All that junk food cut my appetite for dinner, so I only had apéro at home.

I was kind of mad. They clearly prepared my order too soon and it spent a long while in the freezer. All of the meat, fish, sodas and a tofu dip were frozen solid. Not cool!
