Im a BAR girl!..... edited!

No I am not talking alcoholic, I am talking food bars!

[[[That is what was in my little valentines box from my mom! :D ]]]

How has everyone's Thursday been? Mine has been pretty great.....the weather could not be more perfect (and when you have to walk to and fro to get everywhere on campus, weather can make or break your day sometimes!).

I started off the morning with a banana and Blueberry Clif Zbar on my trek over to Food Science. (Note the gloves, which I ended up not needing...thankfully!)

Afterwards, I met up with some friends for lunch. I decided to get the soup of the day: Chicken Noodle, along with a nummy fruit cup. I also had some iced tea to drink (my Free Refill was a Diet Coke though!).
As much as I love soup, it does not generally hold me over for too long (unless I make it myself and add tons of extra veggies)...especially the small size (which is the only size) that I was served. Therefore, about an hour later, I picked up a Clif Nectar Bar. These are similar to Larabars; but they have larger chunks of nuts dispersed throughout, which I enjoy!

I spent a bit of time at the library and then headed home, where I enjoyed a creamy, cold yogurt! Also, I am currently munching on a Chocolate Chunk Chex Mix Bar (these things rock!...and ya, that's a recycled pic! oops)
I have alot to get done this weekend:

1) Find my friend a birthday gift

2) Make a collage for my art class (I have no clue what to do, but I am cutting out pics from magazines and gathering ideas. OF COURSE it will somehow be related to food!...I'll keep you updated......if you have any ideas, send them my way!)

3) Write some food reviews

4) STUDY (In addition to the everyday homework, I have two big tests this upcoming week!)

5) Misc.....haha

Tonight Alexa and I are going to a church event (after the meeting with the Teddy Bear Drive!). Beforehand, we are going to this local pizza shop called One Guy's. They make such great pizza, with fresh toppings and it is not covered in grease. If it's done right....I am such a pizza girl! Pics will be inserted later tonight....no worries!

Fact of the Day: Liquid Nitrogen is used to quick freeze some foods as opposed to regular freezing because it causes less damage. Why? When you quick freeze with liquid Nitrogen, tiny ice crystals form. However, when you freeze something regularly in the freezer, larger ice crystals form and puncture the cell walls of cells. This is why, if you were to put a tomato in your freezer and take it out to thaw, it would not look pretty. The cells composing the tomato have been punctured and the wrinkly, limp appearance is the result. On the other hand, spray that tomato with some liquid Nitrogen and you are good to go!

One more thing, which is kind of fun.....I got an email in my inbox for a $1.00 off coupon for "Skinny Cow" Ice cream treats. Now, as much as I love ice cream, the baby freezer that is connected to my minifridge is not strong enough to keep frozen novelties frozen (haha!). Therefore, if you are interested in having this coupon, just leave a comment below (with you email address inserted in the form where you fill out your name) and I will send it off to you!

Also, I am in the process of contemplating a Blog Giveaway, to attract more readers and show appreciation for the ones I already have. Nothing is final, but this little coupon thing just reminded me of that!

Ta Ta For Now!! :D

Oh She Glows is doing a contest giveaway for a super cute hoodie! Check it out!!!

Edited to add:
