365 days of blue lollipop road; day 30

Weirdo alert!

Sometimes I eat bowls of corn for a snack. My boyfriend likes to tease me about this, so he will really get a kick out of today’s BLR:

(Hold the phones; did I just admit that I have a boyfriend?! I think a pig just flew by, and my throat is closing up a little…)

KIDDING! He is totally awesome. (And now he’ll be teasing me about the above line and the corn. I love it.)

Anyway, back to business:

Afternoon sit on the floor to read and work because the sun is streaming in and it feels warm like clothes fresh out of the dryer time today, included a snack of corn. I didn’t eat the kernels that quickly became pasted onto the back cover of the magazine, but the rest of the bowl sure was delicious!

Now I’m wondering what unusual food habits/cravings you all out there might have…

This is my Blue Lollipop Road. Wanna show me yours?

Mexican Fiesta indeed!

Oh I wish I was on a beach in Mexico right now. Brrr!!! Since when did North Carolina adopt Vermont winter weather?! I guess for now eating Mexican food is what will have to keep me warm. Don’t tell anyone, but this was basket and bowl of chips & salsa # 2 for me and my friend. (#ReasonsWhyIGetUpExtraEarlyToRunInThePolarVortex.)

Mmmm…chips and  fresh salsa…and pretending I’m in a Corona commercial (this one cracks me up) as I sip…

Ok, back to business:

I’ve just gotten a couple really cool submissions from a few cutie & creative kids in Louisiana that I’ll post this weekend. Send me your submissions: Diane(@)bluelollipoproad.com

Hello submissions! We are on a roll!

This just in from a new Blue Lollipop Road reader, Grace:

Here she is!

She makes maps for a living. (Um…how awesome is that?!) She’s been stuck at her desk all day today, so she said she was happy to participate in the BLR project fun.

Here’s to getting creative, even when you might feel stuck, and to letting yourself daydream about anything and everything during the middle of a work day.

Thanks Grace!

Who else is ready to make a BLR?

*Technical difficulties yesterday. (Boo!) Day 22’s post is coming in far after midnight, so I’m doubling up today. (There’s a very good chance no one out there even pays attention to the time/date stamp on these posts, but I do, so I’m calling myself out here:)

Day 22 of BLR 365 is a submission from a chef friend in Virginia:

…before she started chopping for dinner. Mmm! Comfort food on cold days = yummy!

Have you made your BLR yet?

Maybe I should call this 365 days of food instead of 365 days of Blue Lollipop Road! (Or maybe I have a career in food staging/photography, or something alike that I haven’t thought of before. Hmmm…)

I have a mild addiction to roasted pine nut hummus and carrots. (I suppose there are worse things to have a hankering for every day at that 3pm slump timeframe!) Welcome to my snack time.

It hasn’t taken long for me to find out during this project that there aren’t many minutes in a day we stop in the rat race, other than meal time. (That’s why I keep playing with my food to make these BLR’s!)

Easy sandwiches for dinner at a friends house and the above was part of the condiment plate.

If you plan on spending any time with me over the next 352 days, don’t be surprised if I grab your leftovers, your straw, trash, socks, or something else random out of nowhere to construct these three special letters!

Football playoffs anyone?

Today was 60 degrees and sunny in Charlotte. A welcomed warm after this past week of frigid temps, so we joined the masses for Panthers tailgating fun outside. I raided the snack table to make my BLR:

Yep, that’s someones leftover pickle and piece of celery from a bloody mary. Those went into the trash after, but I gobbled up the pretzels (after dipping them in peanut butter & chocolate chips) within 15 second after taking this photo.

Sunday Funday!

I know this very special Cajun French man. (Did I mention very special?) There are endless amazing things about this person, but one uber bonus, is that he is more than willing to cook up beignets, anytime:

Hello delicious!

We happily destroyed my kitchen this morning with these:

Somehow we managed to cover just about every surface, handle, and dish (even our clothes), with powdered sugar. It was ridiculously fun. No shame for noshing time!

I am one lucky lady.
