So the flaky firewood delivery guys, who I wanted to come Tuesday… who changed it to Saturday - they’re coming tomorrow afternoon. I’m kind of pissed off as this means I really do have to leave the college after class (no drinks and/or social hour). I was kind of looking forward to it, but won’t be able to stay. Oh well, I know there will almost certainly be other weeks. But honestly, I’m a bit pissy about the whole thing. Next year if we need wood (after the fall) I’m going to look for someone else. Oh, and our forecast for tomorrow afternoon is a rain/snow mix. Always great weather to be stacking wood.

So, I was emailing a friend of mine back and forth, as well as looking for stuff on the internet. I’ve got a recipe to link to and then, perhaps a good summer PWO snack. First the link:

Now… here’s the thought… ice cream with chocolate syrup!

226 cals - 22g P, 18g C, 8g fat

Really! I started with the recipe for chocolate pudding on the above link and used 40g of my protein powder and 5g cocoa powder. You’re supposed to add just enough water to make it a pudding consistency and I goofed and put a little too much in (it goes from sludgy to thin really fast). It was about the consistency of chocolate syrup though and I ended up just eating it with a spoon. While doing this I thought it might go well over ice cream. It probably needed a little less protein powder though (those numbers above would be 20g protein powder to 5g cocoa powder).

The real problem with that calorie count above is that it’s over half a cup of breyer’s all natural ice cream (and I’m not sure that half a cup is really a serving. Make it a cup of ice cream and it’s more like 356 cals - 25g P, 32g C, 15g F. Oh, and the small amount of mixture that I left in the bowl became almost like chocolate leather…. hmm…. a more portable was of taking protein powder with you? More experimentation with this in the future.

There’s an interesting recipe on that site for orange creamsicles. You mix egg whites with orange PP and then freeze. I might just be silly enough to try it in warmer weather. Although it might be better to mix with real orange juice (better carb/protein blend).

Saturday will be a bit busy with homework (the lab I skipped out on today, electricity lecture questions, lab preparation, maybe a little studying for a quiz). Hopefully I’ll get my math homework done during the break tomorrow morning. I did half of an assignment for my problem solving class this afternoon. It’s due Thursday next week, but he’s not going to teach how to finish it until Wednesday. Although I think I could probably finish it now, but I can finish it up quickly next week.

So, I have nothing else to add tonight. Tomorrow is another early morning so I’m probably going to get to bed soon. Have to rest up if I’m going to haul around wood in the afternoon.
