On my way back home

I’m typing to you from the lovely LaGuardia airport. Well, the loveliest thing about it right now is that there are power outlets under each set of seats — brilliant, lol. Psst — O’Hare! Take notes! It’s not lovely that my flight is delayed, but what can you do…

BlogHer was really interesting, and I’ll be bringing you more info from various brands that were there over the next few weeks — as well as some giveaways!

For instance, did you know that Kozy Shack is now owned by Land O’ Lakes? As of just a few days ago… And they now have coffee flavored puddings. So there you go!

And apparently you can now buy Coke in aluminum bottles? I didn’t actually buy Coke in an aluminum bottle, because it was $2.59 for 8.5 oz, but you can. This, I didn’t see at the conference but at a Duane Reade drugstore nearby 🙂

If you don’t want Coke in aluminum bottles, this I did see at the conference — I have heard about SodaStream but had never actually seen one in use. Now I have. You can make your own soda with mixes ranging from “Dr. Pete’s” to “Diet Cola,” which is sweetened with Splenda, not aspartame. Now if they’d just invent one of those Coca-Cola FreeStyle machines for home use…

Speaking of which, there was a Five Guys in the airport, but before security. Why are all the good restaurants back there? Wish I’d known that earlier, lol. But we ate at a really good restaurant last night…

Joe’s Shanghai, which features “soup dumplings” — they were actually cooked with soup inside, and were awesome. If you’re in NY, I highly recommend.

It was, to be honest, tastier than the Dannon breakfast yesterday morning. Sorry, Dannon! I like your yogurt fine, and the pre-packed yogurt cups were great, but… this fancy yogurt parfait features layers of yogurt, granola with CURRY (see the yellow part in the middle), and cayenne on the top. Curried granola, not a personal fave, but I’ll give them props for creativity. Oh, and they have a new Activia breakfast blend yogurt going that’s 6 oz instead of four, mixed with grains, and higher protein than most other low fat yogurts.

Thus ends your stream of consciousness post of the day. It boils down to: I’m typing tired in the airport!
