Hi friends!! It’s Friday!! It’s Favorite Things Friday here at Adulting – Second Half. On Fridays, I forget about going deep. I leave “thought provoking” for the other days of the week. On Fridays, I typically list three favorite things or songs or books or food stuff that I particularly like. I ask you, my dear friends and readers, to share any of your special favorites in my Comments section. Focusing on favorite things is a great way to go into the weekend feeling good!
Here are my favorites for today:
Chick-Fil-A macaroni and cheese – This might be the best macaroni and cheese that I have ever eaten. Thinking that I was buying a large bowl of it the other day, we somehow ended up with a catering tray of it (subconscious “mistake” perhaps?), for just the three of us, at home. No one complained, and the whole tray of it only lasted us a few days. Just when you thought Chick-Fil-A couldn’t get any better, they perfected this delicacy. Eat more chicken (and eat more macaroni).
Delizza Patisserie Belgian Mini Cream Puffs – These cream puffs are divine. They have magnetic pull, they are that good. I haven’t purchased them in a while, and then my daughter talked me into buying them again, at Costco, the other day. I realize now why I try not to buy them, and bring them into the house. I just can’t leave them alone. The cream puffs are available in smaller sized boxes at Target. The cream inside of them is this achingly delicious concoction of just the perfect amount of sweet, sandwiched in flaky, tasty dough.
Philips Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrushes – When you eat a lot of cream puffs, you need a good tooth brush. My son has been using his Sonicare toothbrush for about a year now and he has always raved about it. My husband and I finally broke down and bought ourselves each a Sonicare toothbrush and I am definitely hooked. It feels like I am polishing my teeth with a dentist’s tool. My teeth definitely feel incredibly clean after brushing. (Hint – don’t turn on the toothbrush until it is in your mouth. It took me a couple of times to get this straight and I ended up with gobs of toothpaste in my sink and on my shirt.)
Have a great weekend, my friends! See you tomorrow.
I am not a fan of mac n cheese. I’ll eat it, but it’s never my first choice. Maybe I should give Chick-fil-a a try. My son is wild about their spicy chicken sandwich so we eat there a couple of times a month. Okay, it’s going on the list of new things to try!
I know exactly which cream puffs you are talking about. I first encountered them at a church social, and from that point forward I noticed that they made an appearance at every potluck. I began asking who brought them and where they were purchased and no one would fess up! It was as though their magical deliciousness was spontaneously conjured in the church kitchen. I will avoid the freezer case at Costco and instead indulge in the smaller portion size at Target. I hope that they are really expensive so I won’t be tempted to buy them repeatedly!
Finally, I used a Sonicare toothbrush for many years and I loved it. Once it died, I switched to Quip. And now I love it equally. Quip is a subscription service. Every 3 months they ship a new brush head and a new battery – for $5! Since its battery operated there’s no recharging and the handle is very slim. So much easier for traveling! Um, if we ever get to do that again.
This was a fun Friday post. Did you previously post about the rose collection of lip balm? I bought three of them for gifts, and everyone loves them.
Kelly, I thought about purchasing some carmel sauce to drizzle on top of the cream puffs, but I have a closet full of clothes I would like to be able to wear. 😉
