The bagels, pita, and English Muffins have arrived! We have a fresh stock of all varieties of bagels (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, White, Onion, and Perfect 10) and both types of pita. Come in and get yours today! Great options for Weight Watchers®. As I mentioned the other day, there is a challenge that one of my friends introduced me to at the turn of the year. I like to put myself behind the 8 ball, so I decided to start a month later. It might take me out of the contest, but I think that the real challenge is held within oneself. To hold myself accountable, I have decided to post my choices here since my other blog is always woefully neglected. :( To Be Read: Children of God -Mary Doria Russell Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass -Lewis Carrol Stardust -Neil Gaiman Mere Christianit...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Coffee Royale, Marshmallow, and Boysenberry. High School Student Day! If you are a high school student, come in today to get a free small yogurt by showing us your student ID. When I awoke this morning, my wife informed me that John Edwards was pulling out of the presidential race . I asked her if she was sure that it wasn't Giuliani, who I had read last night was considering dropping out and supporting McCain. Assuming that Giuliani does drop out in the next day or two, we will essentially have a two horse race on each side. While I realize that their are still other candidates, the way that the media plays it, we won't be able to forget the two that we are supposed to vote for. So, Super Tuesday has just become a lot more interesting. There is a big chance that it might not be decided by the time that next Tuesday is over and that the primaries there after, such as the Texas primary, will count for so...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Coffee Royale, Marshmallow, and Boysenberry. Health Club Day! Show us your membership card to a health club or community center and get a small yogurt for only 99 cents. (Limit one per customer.) I just finished the first two books of the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. This is a series that I was first introduced to in a class in college called American Science Fiction. After reading one of Card's other series, I was interested in giving his most critically acclaimed works another go. I'm glad that I am getting a chance to go back through the books now. If you are a fan of science fiction or just a fan of reading in general, then I would definitely recommend picking up a copy of Ender's Game or The Speaker for the Dead. About a month ago, one of my friends mentioned a reading list challenge. While I meant to get to it in the first week of the month, I didn't. So, I will put forth my list on the...

Ship anywhere in the lower 48 states for only $6.99. Come into the store today and place an order to be shipped, and we will lower the shipping rate to $6.99. Great news for Fior difrutta fans (fruit preserves)! We will get in an order on Friday of this week or Monday of next week with the Fig preserves. After a crop failure last year, they temporarily stopped the production of this wonderful tasting product. But, the new crop has been harvested. The new jars are on their way here from Italy. One note about this upcoming Sunday: We will be open from 12 PM to 4 PM during the day of the big game. In our Sunday school class yesterday, the topic of the Super Bowl came up as we were waiting for class to start. It seems that I was one of the only ones in there who was rooting for the New England Patriots. I'm not quite sure way so many peopl...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Pecan Praline, Juicy Raspberry, and Strawberry Shortcake. Cake loaves are now available! Regularly $19.99, they are on sale this weekend for $14.99. We're going to throw in tomorrow as a bonus day if we have any left. Don't take a chance if you want one, come in today. Tomorrow's special is Coke Float Day! All coke floats are $2.99 (regularly $4.62). We've got diet Cherry Coke, Coke Zero, Pibb Zero, or Coke Plus to choose from. My wife and I have managed to line ourselves up a busy weekend. We've got dinner guests coming over tonight, a lunch with some of the couples from our Sunday school class tomorrow, and a office party with her work on Sunday evening. Not only should this be a fun weekend, but it should also be a good eating weekend. :) Tonight's dinner is going to be one of our favorites, low carb egg plant Parmesan. It's been a while since we last cooked this one, and I am looki...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Pecan Praline, Juicy Raspberry, and Strawberry Shortcake. Cake Loaves! Today and tomorrow, all of our cake loaves are on sale for $14.99 (regularly 19.99). Come in and try any of the ones that we have baked for this weekend's sale. If you want a special type , call us at 972.644.2000 and order one for tomorrow. Green Tip: Coffee was once grown mostly in shaded areas; today, many growers are producing higher-yielding "sun coffee." This practice, which requires extra pesticides and herbicides, can promote soil erosion, and reduces the habitat available to migratory songbirds including wood thrushes, tanagers, flycatchers, and Honduras orioles. To support growers who use sound farming and harvesting practices, look for USDA Organic and Bird Friendly symbols on the coffee package, or for a clear statement that the coffee is shade-grown.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Maple Nut, Juicy Raspberry, and Strawberry Shortcake. Cone Day! All cones are $1.85 today (regularly $2.77). The bagels, pita, and English Muffins have arrived! We have a fresh stock of all varieties of bagels (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, White, Onion, and Perfect 10) and both types of pita. Come in and get yours today! Great options for Weight Watchers®. Recently, my wife and I were discussing how the cold weather had changed how we sleep. We were given a wonderfully warm blanket for a wedding present. It does a fantastic job of keeping us warm. Nevertheless, with the temperature dropping to freezing and below the last few nights, we've both noticed that we are crowding in towards the center of the bed. Not that this is a bad thing, because I think that one of great bonuses of marriage is the late night snuggles. I do, however, think it's funny that, with the cold weather, we only only have to turn...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Maple Nut, Juicy Raspberry, and Very Berry. Tonight, we have our yogurt on sale for buy one, get one free form 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one per customer, no XL). We are now restocked on our Doctor's CarbRite Diet Protein bars. We also have a new hard candy from Atkinson: Green Apple. I went home yesterday and was greeted with the news that Heath Ledger had died. It was a bit of a shock to know that one of the great and challenging actors of Generation X was gone. I'm a little bit calloused to these news stories. While I feel it is a tragedy, it is something that I have become sadly accustomed to over the years. I think that, after I came home on April 5, 1994 only to find out that Kurt Cobain was dead, I've been slightly detached from celebrity deaths. Maybe part of our problem is that we stop seeing celebrities as people. Somewhere along the line because of a death or a misstep, we just begin to ex...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Maple Nut, Juicy Raspberry, and Very Berry. Today, tell us the secrete word and get a free small yogurt (limit one per customer). Secrete Word: Clementine Gnu Bars Update: I have just been notified by our contact at Gnu Foods that the Peanut Butter Flavor and Fiber Bars will not be available until closer to the end of February. They in the kitchen working on an improved recipe for this bar. Of course, this means that we will soon run out of our stock of peanut butter bars, but we will have them back in as soon as the new version is ready. With our Netflix account now ended, we are in a rush to watch our final three movies. Last night, we watched Stardust . This film has been billed as The Princess Bride for the new generation. While I don't think that it comes close to living up to this heavy billing, it is a good film in its own right. If you like fantasy films with a twist of romance, this film is p...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Maple Nut, Vanilla Malt, and Very Berry. Shipping Monday! Ship anywhere in the lower 48 states for only $6.99. Come into the store today and place an order to be shipped, and we will lower the shipping rate to $6.99. We are open regular hours today (10 AM to 8 PM) for Martin Luther King Day . My wife and I had a busy weekend with the wedding in Houston. The drive down and back combined with the two late nights made for an exhausting trip. But, the wedding was very nice, and it was great to see everyone having a good time. The reception had some fantastic food and a really good band. I'm not sure if it was the music or the open bar that so greatly encouraged people to get out on the dance floor, but there was no slacking on the dance side. There has also never been a better rendition of Journey's Don't Stop Believing ever to be sung by another Kappa Sigma chapter on Earth during a cake cutting ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Toffee Nut, Vanilla Malt, and Very Berry. Tonight's Special: Buy one frozen yogurt, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, excludes XL). Tomorrow's Special: Coke Float are $2.99 all day (regular price $4.62). We are open regular hours on MLK day. I'm actually in Houston at the posting of this blog getting ready to go to the mall and do a little shopping before the wedding this evening. I can only imagine that I had a great time last night hanging out with my fellow Kappa Sigma brothers. We'll spend the weekend in Houston, but we will be back in time to work on Monday. I found these facts about plastic bags on the site that I recommended yesterday: Top Facts - Consumption # Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year. # According to the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks a...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Toffee Nut, Vanilla Malt, and Very Berry. Shake It Up! All shakes are $3.69 today (regularly $3.93-$4.62). We got in a few new options for the Gourmet Cupboard. We have a three new mixes: Peanut Butter Cookies with Pecans, Coconut Pie, and the Chocolate Fudge Cookies with Walnuts. Come in and try some of these easy to use mixes for a great dessert this weekend. Green Tip: Paper or Plastic? Duck the decision altogether by bringing your own reusable basket or mesh bags to the supermarket. If you go grocery shopping once a week, in five years you'll have kept anywhere from 250 to 1,000 grocery bags out of landfills. (While recycling is good, never using the product in the first place is always better.) [Brought to you by Page-a-Day calendar.] If you want alternatives to plastic bags, you can now find options at most grocery stores for 3 dollars or less. Keeping these in your car will allow you to grab one for shopping a...

The bagels, pita, and English Muffins have arrived! We have a fresh stock of all varieties of bagels (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, White, Onion, and Perfect 10) and both types of pita. Come in and get yours today! Great options for Weight Watchers®. We also got the LaTortilla Garlic, Onion, Whole Wheat, Sun-dried Tomato, and Rosemary tortillas back in stock. We've been out of these for about a month, but we've got them all available again. This is also a great item for Weight Wactchers®. We made an excursion to Costco last night to pick up some staples that we were running out of like paper towels and kitty litter. One of the advantages to buying in bulk is of course the price, but it also cuts down on the wast that is generated. In addition, I was very happy to see that Costco is now carrying recycled paper towel...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Toffee Nut, Vanilla Malt, and Very Berry. UT Dallas Day! Show your Comet Card and receive a free small yogurt. Cool days lay ahead of us. The weather has taken a turn toward the traditional winter pattern. I'm looking forward to getting a few evenings in here that actually move the mercury below 32. While we keep our house pretty cool during the evenings, our comforter keeps us very warm and toasty. I always sleep better when the nights are nice and cool. Of course, we'll be out of town this weekend for a wedding in Houston. It looks like we'll be driving into a cool rain on Friday. The rest of the weekend is going to be cool and cloudy there. I really only go to Houston for a concert, so I hope my fraternity brother appreciates the sacrifice. After looking at their wedding website last night, my wife and I realized why everyone thought our registry was so limited. I had to laugh at some of the items that were...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Caramel, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Angel Food Cake. Teacher Day! All teachers can get a small yogurt for 99 cents by showing their teacher ID card today. Upgrade to a medium, large or XL and we'll take two dollars off of any of those sizes. (Limit one per person.) The workout routine has started again. After waiting a couple of weeks to let those filled with the New Year's spirit dwindle at the gym, my wife and I restarted our workouts. We kind of got caught up in our first year of marriage and forgot how much we each enjoyed our time working out. Since we live in Addison, we have a free membership to the Addison Athletic Club. This full scale gym has just about everything that the big boys have. The only real difference is that we would pay a few dollars to attend a class such as aerobics, but we don't have that pesky monthly due to pay. We're mainly there for the the track and the weights; however, I foc...

Come into the store today and place an order to be shipped, and we will lower the shipping rate to $6.99. Yesterday saw two upsets in the NFL playoffs. The Chargers knocking out the Colts might be the more impressive of the two, but the Cowboys loss to the Giants is definitely the more disappointing loss. The Cowboys lost by not doing the simple things like catching the ball. While I would certainly give the Giants defense credit, I can't help but think of the number of missed opportunities that the Cowboys had during the second half of the game. Of course, this morning begins the season of discontent with the papers already questioning who should stay and who should go. Unfortunately, regardless of what happens during the off season, the fact will remain that the 13 and 3 Division winning Cowboys ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Caramel, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Angel Food Cake. Today, we have 50% off the lowest marked price on all sale rack items. (The sale rack is located on the lowest two shelves of the white wire frame rack in the middle of the store.) Tomorrow, we have our coke float special. Coke floats are $2.99 all day long (regularly $4.62). I am now the proud owner of a new dress belt and a new pair of warm slippers. We went to the mall last night to return a couple of Christmas presents, and I used the credit to get a much needed new belt for Sundays. I think that I am going to save it for dress occasions and continue to use my ratty two-year-old belt for the daily wear. The slippers were just a nice warm shoe for what I hope are cooler days ahead. The only downside is that I've got to find a way to spend the remainder of the credit at some point and time in the future. If I could transfer it to Auntie Anne's pre...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Butterscotch, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Angel Food Cake. Parfait Day! All parfaits are $2.99 all day long today (regularly $3.69). We got our chocolate and vanilla icing mix back in today. We also got in a shipment of Galaxy Granola (Cinnamon and Vanilla). Green Tip: Replace incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescents. You'll recoup their higher cost-they last ten times longer and save up to $30 a year in electricity. Fluorescents use much less energy than traditional lightbulbs. And the less energy we burn away, the less carbon dioxide we produce. Just one compact fluorescent bulb keeps half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air over the course of its lifetime. (Just remember to recycle them after the are at the end of their lifecycle.)

Come in and get yours today! Perfect for Weight Watchers®. Last night, we finished Veronica Mars: Season 3 . We finished it without even knowing it. When disc five ended, we put in disc six to find out how many episodes were left. To our great surprise, the show was over and only bonuses remained. The season was great with the exception of the abrupt ending. This season ended two episodes earlier than the other two, and the ending left everything open. Unfortunately, we won't get a rap up in season four. So long Veronica. We'll miss you. I also went to see Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Cappuccino, Lemon, and Orange Vanilla. Tonight, we have our buy one, get one free yogurt special (limit one per person, no XL) from 6 PM to 8 PM. Ah, the results of New Hampshire serves up a change in the race to the White House in 2008. More accurately, the win by Clinton and McCain serve to continue the race in both parties. The race is on to claim as many wins as possible before the February 5 primary onslaught. With over 20 states voting by that point, we'll have a better idea of what the final showdown will be. Until then, I'll sit back and enjoy the show. Presidential campaigns are always fun to follow to see who is left at the end. Quiz Day: Are You a Brainiac ? You Are a Total Brainiac You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius. You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident. You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to. No field of ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Cappuccino, Lemon, and Orange Vanilla. Yogurt Club Bonus Day! All members of the Yogurt Club can get a small yogurt for only 45 cents today. Or, upgrade your yogurt and receive two dollars off of any other size. (Limit one per Yogurt Club member.) If you are looking for something new to help you in a new year's quest towards better health, then come in and try some of the Chocolite protein bars. These great tasting, as close to a candy bar as I have ever had, bars are only one point for Weight Watchers®. With 9 grams of protein per bar, these are an excellent option for in between meals or before a work out. As I was driving through the neighborhoods this morning on the way to get my vehicle registration updated, I noticed a number of Christmas trees out on the curbs awaiting pick-up. If you happen to have a natural tree awaiting disposal at your home, try recycling it instead. You can get some mulch for...

Come into the store today and place an order to be shipped, and we will lower the shipping rate to $6.99 for each boxes. (Don't worry, we have large boxes). The white elephant party proved to be successful this weekend. Though we had to resort to a little spousal trickery, we ended up getting two good gifts. Thanks to Erica, I was able to acquire a new beard trimmer which will come in handy. I'm starting to like the party after Christmas. Unfortunately, the trip to Trinity Hall was not a successful trivia outing. While we didn't come in last, we weren't anywhere near the top. I'm still convinced that there are some cheaters in the hall. For the record, last night one of the questions was impossible to answer correctly. Original question: This 1982 inductee to the MLB Hall of Fame w...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Candy Cane, Toffee Coffee, Lemon, and Orange Vanilla. Tonight, we have our yogurt available buy one, get one free (limit one per customer, no XL). I see that there was a spike in blog traffic yesterday. I have no doubt that this is due in part to the email about the coupons. Don't forget to check for them in the future on the first or second of each month. Also, we might be doing random coupons on the blog this year, so check back throughout the month. This year seemed to throw a lot of people off with the way that the holidays fell. They just seemed to sneak up on people. What happens when the holidays come so quickly? People have post-holiday parties. Tonight, my wife and I will attend our post-Christmas white elephant party with our Sunday school class. When you think about it, this is actually a brilliant move. You get to re-gift any bad gift that was received either over the holidays or at other white elephant parties. ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Candy Cane, Toffee Coffee, Lemon, and Orange Vanilla. Shake Day! All shakes are $3.69 (regularly $3.93-$4.62). After several problems with the email group over the last year, yesterday was the final straw. For a reason that I cannot find, the email sent out in duplicate with a second copy of per gibberish. On the up side, it is not due to a virus. Unfortunately, if you open your email, you will probably not find your coupons. Thus, we are going to move to a new method of distribution this year. The coupons will now be posted on the blog along with the calendar on the first or second of each month. You will be able to print out the coupons from the blog by clicking on them and then printing the page. As always, they will be limited to one use per person per month. On the plus side, you don't have to worry about your junk mail deleting them automatically. If you're checking the blog latter in the month, you can scroll down...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Candy Cane, Toffee Coffee, Strawberry Shortcake, and Egg Nog. Cone Day! All yogurt cones are $1.85 today (regularly $2.77). I had a bit of an emergency to attend to yesterday, so the email was not sent to the Friends of Sugarless deLite group. However, you will have it today. I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things in the new year. I'm doing alright with writing the correct year, but the dates are a little harder. There is something about taking a week off that makes everyday seem like a Sunday. I'm pretty sure that I will be back on track by next Monday. Until that time, I'll just rely more heavily on the trusty calendar. One of the things that I enjoy doing after the holidays is bargain shopping. I missed out on the crazy after Christmas shopping, so the LED lights will have to wait until 2009. Nevertheless, there are still some pretty good specials out there. In particular, there are the calendar...
