I spent last week indulging in one of the greatest treats a girl could have.
It was a perfect in every sense of the word…
And it was great, not just because we were together, at noon on a Thursday (although that was really cool).
And in case you don’t know it, the most famous, the most delicious, and the most sought after item on the Forty Carrots menu is their Frozen Yogurt.
Grown Men will weep, it’s so good.
“What?” you scoff.
“Pshaw!” you think.
“Whatever” you grumble.
Let me assure you it is nothing like any frozen yogurt you’ve ever had — it is a gift from the gods.
It’s not sweet, it’s tangy.
And it’s served with honey.
And wheat germ.
And strawberries…
And, oh my goodness, it is SO GOOD!
When I was child we would go to Forty Carrots for yogurt and even then I knew it was nothing short of ambrosia.
And somehow, after a twenty five year gap, it was even better than I remembered.
In fact it’s so good that my health conscious mom (who eats like a bird on a diet) order a large.
Which is just awesome ’cause we got to tease her about it for the rest of the day.
She took it like a champ
If you live anywhere near a Bloomies you should call them and see if they have a Forty Carrots cafe.
And if they say yes, round up your best girlfriends and go out for a yogurt date…. just for the JOY of it!
WARNING: be careful to stay away from the shoe department though… Little Guy found a pair he liked that cost $250 — and that was the SALE PRICE!!
And now it’s YOUR turn!

Oh that looks so good! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment. I'm following you now even though I wanted to be follower #100!!!
Sounds delicious! Today was full of joy for me. Despite being trapped inside with my rugrats, we just enjoyed each other. We played, we laughed, we bonded. I need nothing more.
Too fun!!! I'd love to visit the famous store…but I'm a chocolate lover!!!
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for your help and of course you help me a lot. Now, I have to work with food (well, not now but during the next days).
Thank you.

Yum, it sounds delicious!
You had me until the wheat germ. The rest sounds super duper yummy!!
Sounds like the perfect lunch date! Great pictures, and I love the shoes little one chose

I've never heard of Forty Carrots, but the yogurt looks delicious! What a wonderful day you all had, thanks for letting us come along!
Now that sounds like some seriously tasty yogurt! I'll have to check our "Bloomies" to see if they have a Forty Carrots and go check it out…although I'd have to go to the Mall of America to do it…darn…a mall
Peace.

Oh wow. You're killing me. I've never even heard of this stuff before but I want a bite now.
You have filled me a desire for frozen yumminess– thanks a lot– the only sweet thing in my freezer is one ice cube of pureed pears. Ha!
Sharon, I loved this…especially seeing your Mom enjoying such a BIG temptation!
I miss all you beautiful women. You certainly brought me JOY today. Love you!
This looks so yummy. I wish there were a Bloomingdale's near here!
I want my yogurt topped with dark chocolate shavings, chopped strawberries and almonds. Thank you for sharing and for the very convincing recommendation!
