OK, we need a flavor of the month for April. Chocolate would be a solid choice since there are so many chocolate bunnies around. (perhaps just a bunny dipped in chocolate or one with chocolate painted on it? moving on...) ;) But that's not how roll now is it. Of course with all the spring colors and the flowers in bloom we could go with colors again, but we did that last month and need a little something different yet the same. Kind of like creamy and crunchy peanut butter. Both are peanut butter, both have the same stuff in 'em but yet they are different (it's a texture thing) Yes we need something that says spring. Something that says warmer weather and lighter clothes. Something that says longer days and sunshine. You know, the days are still the same length (well pretty close) it's just light out later. Where was I? Oh yeah, flavor of the month. Let' see. Think Think Think People tend to think a little healthier in the spring too. Maybe it's the fresh air and sunshine but it could be a lot of things. Time to shape up, maybe talk a walk (in the park or sans park) break out the bikes, play catch, frisbee, jump rope, pogo sticking (which would be what you do when you pogo on a pogo stick or practice the art of pogoing with said pogo stick)streaking (till think you might wanna wait at least til June but if you must have at it and knock yourself out) Taking care of the yard, planting a garden full of fresh veggies and fruits... Wait a minute? Fruit?!?!?!?!?!? Colors of spring + fruit flavors = a very refreshing flavor of the month!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes sports fans (and non sports fans) April shall be the month of fruit flavors once again! That includes of course smoothies, freezes, freezer pops, popsicles, Frozen lemonade, and for those who are of age frozen cocktails) even fruit based ice cream and or frozen yogurt (topping included of course) So enjoy something cold and refreshing in all it's fruit flavored glory this April and keep in mind that all chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls, twirls.... (you know the rest) are in as well. It's up to you. Choose your favorite fruit flavor and get down with your fruit flavored loving self. And have a nice April, unless you're a jerk.
