Popsicle Time!!

Wed Sept 2.
Popsicle Time!! Yup it’s that time in the cycle when popsicles are the only thing that taste/feel good in the mouth. And now that I’ve got the perfect popsicles I’m much happier! So, last cycle I was trying to soothe the sores and I bought a bunch of popsicles from Whole Foods. They were “all-natural” fruit juice based, “healthy” popsicles…. But the “real” fruit juice was “really” acidic and “really” not the right thing for mouth sores. Then my friend Kezya explained the truth about popsicles – “Julie, what are you thinking? What you need are the popsicles of our youth! You know the ones…. with 2 sticks that you cut in half, and flavors like “red” and “purple” , and are made from frozen sugar water”!

Sure enough, she went to Safeway and delivered to my doorstep a bag of “Quiescently Frozen Confections” in artificially flavored Orange, Cherry and Grape. Nary a fruit acid in the bag – they are perfect! I think I’ll have a cherry pop next :)
