New Oreo Flavors

Have you seen or tried the new Oreo flavors?

---

Limeade

---

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

---

Rice Krispie Treat

---

So far I only tried Limeade. I love it, it's cool and refreshing. I have found only these flavors in my favorite supermarket. I heard there's more out there. Can't wait to try the other flavors.

My attempt, using blogging apps

This was my first attempt using android phone for blogging.

---

And using blogging apps, which I found didn't really function the way I like to blog. Including Blogger app. So I went back to the real Blogger site.

---

Then I found out about the ColorNote app where I can keep html codes there and write a draft.

---

I'm leaving it this way to show what I learned and how I progress.

ColorNote app

I can "copy and paste" to and from ColorNote like; links to pages, my resume, text from pages.

---

I use it for writing blog posts, emails, status updates, and tweets.

---

I use it for grocery lists. I can search items through the ColorNote. I can mark off items as I go.

---

I use it for reminders, to do lists, jotting notes to self, info from tv ads, and more.

---

I used it for a phone job interview.

---

I put the company info, name and phone number, job descriptions, and my resume. I was able to turn this note into a scheduled reminder for the interview.

---

I also was able to use the phone number right from the ColorNote. I just pressed the number and it dialed. That was awesome! I didn't have to leave my notes.

---

This is how I found out that "links" actually work too!

---

I just recently discovered if I swipe to the left, there's a calender! And all my reminders color coded on the dates set.

---

I can share any notes to my email, messaging, Twitter, Google+, and Facebook.

---

It has checklist and notepad mode. Color choices.

---

Press the menu button to find out all you can do with ColorNote.

---

Press and hold to get the copy and paste menu, in the text box or on the pad.

---

Copy right on to any notepad.

---

For shopping list mode, press and hold for a menu to pop up.

---

This is my attempt to blog with my android phone. Using some of my html skills. Using a separating line I just discovered. I'm always learning something new. Oh yes, I used ColorNote to draft this post.

All the Birds in My Backyard Trees

 

The trees in the backyard, right in front of my bedroom window; there is a bird soap opera, "The Birds in My Backyard Trees".

 

 

I call one robin "Crazy", he likes to sit on the window ledges, on lower the level, and make love to his mirror image on the window. Or might be trying to chase that robin in the window away. He always chases visiting robins away.

 

Mrs. Robin waits for me on her usual branch to come for a visit. She comes when I call, wakes me up, and alerts me to strangers visiting.

 

Recently Mr. Robin has been coming when I call.

 

I finally figured out Mr. and Mrs. Robin are mates. Mr. Robin is "Crazy".

 

Mr. Most Beautiful the cardinal, likes showing off his bright red plumage. He's the brightest cardinal I ever seen. He doesn't like sharing the limelight with other male cardinals.

 

One day watched him chase another male all over the neighborhood in back. I asked them are you still at it? Aren't you tired yet?

 

I'm still not to sure what is really going on between the 2 male cardinals. Maybe Mr. Most Beautiful was mentoring. I saw the cardinal that was being chased still hanging around, without being chased.

 

2 Cedar Blackwings came to visit. I have never seen these birds around before. They were beautiful and cute. I thought they were kissing each other. But I learned they pass berries to each other.

 

Mrs. Robin was curious about them, and just let them be. I was really surprised, no alarm or chasing away. She sat on a branch facing them watching them.

 

There is Mr. and Mrs. Mourning Dove, Yellow and Purple Finch family, Sparrow gang, Blackbird gang, Catbirds, Chickadees, and 1 Bluejay.

 

There used to be a squirrel that climbed up to a branch that came right up to my window.

 

Of course I feed the birds; I save my crusts, crumbs, and seeds for the birds. The birds come when I open the window and start singing with them.

 

Tasty, Pasta Salad; tried it with kiwi

Odd Combination, Tasty, Pasta Salad

3 cups cooked rainbow rotini pasta
1/4 cup diced mango

1/4 cup thinly sliced, seedless cucumber

1 diced sweet pepper

1 tsp sweet pickle relish

1 tsp spicy brown mustard

4 Tablespoons mayonnaise

Gently mix all ingredients, until well blended and coated with mayonnaise.

Odd combination, cool, tasty results. You have to try it to believe it.
 

 

 

 

I couldn't find a good mango at my store at the time of my grocery shopping day, so I thought kiwi would be a cool combination with the cucumber. I liked the results, so I'm sharing my idea.

Blackbean Brownies, yes blackbeans!

I found this recipe checking out Dr. Oz online. I was researching Dr. Oz’s Magnesium Grocery List.

Brownies

Ingredients

1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 C quick oats
1/3 maple syrup
2 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 C vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
2/3 C chocolate chips

Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips in food processor, or blender if you must.
Food processor is best. Blend until really smooth. Blend really well.

Bake 350, 18- 20 minutes
 

These Brownies turned out great.  I was totally surprised!

One problem I had was how to tell when the brownies are done. The toothpick method didn't work. Going by looks didn't work. I baked the brownies 20- 30 minutes to make sure they were done. Didn't seem to hurt.

The brownies were "to die for", chewy, soft, chocolately. I was moaning with pleasure of chocolate satisfaction. Washing down with 1% milk added more pleasure!

 

 

 

Just a note; not a big fan of Dr. Oz. Was only looking for diet ideas.
