Free Frap!

Right place, right time.
I have a study day today, but I went out to my office building at noon for my gym's Friday Ball/Core class, which I love and refuse to miss. And on the way home stopped at Safeway to pick up some extra things for dinner later. While I was returning to the produce section because I forgot lemons, a nice girl stopped me and asked if I would like a free green tea frappucino. They are putting a Starbucks counter into our Safeway and today was a training day for the new staff. So they are practicing making beverages all day and then handing them out free. Yay! I've never had the green tea frap. It is not bad, but I think when I have to pay my own money for a treat, I will stick to the sweet, sweet buzz of caffeine. I feel a bit guilty that I probably undid all the good from my core class with this sweet and creamy concoction, but really. I am not the type to turn down free food. :)

I went to Safeway to get some extra things I needed to make Greek Turkey Pitas tonight for me and Mark. At the beginning of summer I bought some pre-made turkey burgers (learn from my error children, never do this - make your own with plain ground turkey and your personal blend of seasoning), which essentially are simply salt flavoured. I have discovered I can get most of the salt out by boiling the things before grilling, but once the salt is gone, they just taste like slightly less salty rubber. So tonight I am going to try, boiling them, then slicing them into thin strips and serving with cucumber, tomatoe, red pepper, garlic, squeeze of lemon, olive oil, oregano, and mushrooms on pita bread. I am pretty excited about dinner. I love making up creative and slightly special dinners. Something different and fun. (I know mushrooms are not a typical Greek offering, but Mark and I both love mushrooms and tend to put them in just about everything we possibly can).

I should go now and get back to the books, but I might try and make today a double blog day, cuz I have an extra hour scheduled later to play on the computer, so that I can set up my new iPod!! So exciting. I am so happy that I will have tunes again when I run. I cant wait.

'til next time Sweeties!
