First Birthday Present of the Year

Hooray!

Today after work I was sitting on the couch with ehs. I'm doing well with the eating thing, but I do feel tired a little more than usual. He said that he had an early birthday present for me. Of course, then I had to try to find it right away. I looked in the closet downstairs, all the kitchen cabinets, and the fridge. I thought I'd looked everywhere, but he said there was still a place. I couldn't imagine what could be a present in the freezer, especially since I'm not eating a whole lot right now (sad about no ice cream).

He got me popsicle forms!! When I was a kid my mom would make popsicles out of juice, and as an adult I find popsicles the best and fastest way to cool down when I'm overheated. I've wanted to get my own popsicle forms for a while now, but I haven't sat down and looked for them, and he bought them today.

Even better, he brought them home, washed them, and MADE ME POPSICLES! He made banana, almond milk, and maple syrup popsicles, all items that are on the list. He used Mark Bittman's recipe from The Minimalist (the video is pretty funny). What a wonderful birthday present, popsicles now and popsicles for the future.

And also, the popsicles he made are wonderful. I would make them again, even when I can eat more items!
