Holy Mojito!

I am of the opinion that there are certain things in life that make it worth the while. And a good cocktail is one of those certain things. My drink of choice is a Mojito - preferably mango flavored. Both Parrot Bay and Bicardi recently came out with pre-bottled Mojitos. Just like a wine cooler only much-o tastier. I absolutely l-o-v-e LOVE them! I had three Saturday night -- using my flex points.

Of course, they don't print nutritional information on any kind of alcoholic beverages, but I was curious. I searched through hell and high water (okay, not really . . . ) but finally found the calorie count using The Daily Plate. Just one not quite 12 ounce bottle of that nectar of the gods is 234 calories! Holy Mojito! That's five weight watchers points. That's a bacon sandwhich with swiss cheese. That's one and 3/4 of the Mexican pizzas I had for dinner tonight. That's . . . that's . . . that's a lot of points!

Why does good stuff = fatty stuff? Blah!

I have a recipe for a 2-pt Mojito in my Hungry Girl cookbook. I think it's time to give that bad boy a try!

Today has been tough for me in that I have wanted to stuff my face with everything in sight. It feels like I'm about half a day away from Mother Nature showing up at my doorstep to deliver my monthly gift. But I know the timing isn't right for that. I felt like this at the beginning of my last pregnancy, but ummm .. . timing wouldn't be right for that either. Unless it was somehow divine intervention. And, from what I understand, the Big Guy upstairs seems to prefer virgins for that sort of thing. Whatever it is, I hope it passes me over and quickly or Imma have to add padlocks to my pantry.
