Good Evening!

I have just returned from a wonderful dinner with my friend Faith.  Remember Faith?  Stephen and I went to a New Year’s Eve party that she and her fiancé hosted.

Faith and I have been close friends ever since my family moved to South Carolina when I was in the 8th grade.  Thirteen years later, I’m so happy we are still buds.

A lot has changed since our tween years!

Unfortunately, we’re all grown up now.  Especially Faith.  She’s getting married on July 3rd!  Yay, Faith and Cole!

So tonight, Faith and I really wanted some sushi, but we had trouble finding the restaurant we were looking for, and we ended up eating at a new Thai place instead.

As we waited on the kitchen, Faith and I chit chatted.   We also watched foreign music videos that were displayed on big screen tv.

Can anyone read that?

redcurry My red curry was delish.  You can never go wrong with red curry.  Especially spicy red curry.  Our waitress looked at me quite skeptically when I said I wanted my dish to be a 3 out of 3 on the hotness scale.

Faith and I with our food.  (I was hoping if I kept my picture small, no one would notice how goofy I look.)

Faith and I had a great time, and I’m sure we’ll have another girls night soon.

In other news, the folks at MyBlogSpark and Fiber One sent me some free bars to sample.

Fiber One has created a new product: a 90 calorie bar that boasts 5 grams of fiber.  I tried the chocolate flavor, but there is a new chocolate peanut butter variety as well.

Here’s the review:

I have always liked the taste of Fiber One bars, so I was expecting these to taste good as well.  And they did not disappoint!  This is probably the tastiest Fiber One bar that I’ve tried to date.  It tasted like a rice krispy treat frosted with chocolate.  Very, very yummy.  If you like the regular serving size Fiber One bars, I’d be willing to bet that you’d like these even more.

However, I must note that these bars have quite a long ingredient list.  So, if you’re a stickler for short ingredient lists, these are probably not for you.

I employ an “everything in moderation” outlook to my diet, so I’m ok with splurging on processed treats periodically, and I can truly say that these bars are worth the indulgence.
