Happy Wednesday, LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers!
I am in a GROUCHY mood today. I need more sleep and more exercise. With my new job I usually start work by 5:45 a.m. or 6:45 a.m. if it's a "late" day. My body clock would rather start work around 10 a.m. and finish up say by 2 p.m. Unfortunately for me, I also like receiving a steady, fat paycheck ... so I wake up early and I am grouchy.
I can only assume at my core that I am a masochist, because I know that I function better and feel better if I get enough sleep, water, exercise and healthy food ... and yet here I am wishing I was eating THIS for breakfast ...
It is the Coconut Cream Pie from Capital Grille restaurant. Now normally I am a banana cream pie girl, but this is by far my favorite coconut cream pie. There is no comparison with how good this darn pie is ... and it comes with a cookie! Seriously if I were Empress of Lily Land (formerly known as the US of A), I would require that all pie slices come with a cookie and all cake slices come with a donut. And everyone gets their own pony. Or unicorn. Or rainbow. There's a lot of rules in Lily Land.
I haven't had this particular Coconut Cream Pie in at least two years because it is pure decadence in a tartlet shell ... but if you're looking for super rich, super good coconut cream pie- get yourself over to a Capital Grille restaurant.
I try a lot of products "for the sake of my blog" (ohhh I am such a martyr!) But I can't try every product out there, so I am going to extend a Product Review Challenge ... have you tried any of the following products? If yes, tell me what you thought of them in the comments section ... It is INTERACTIVE LilyOnTheLam, people!
Product #1: Milkis - from what I can tell it is some sort of carbonated "milk soda" that I found at my local Asian store. Since I have a milk soda-phobia, I have not tried this. Have you?
Product #3: Not to be the world's biggest hypocrite, BUT ... after I was slamming the Blue Raspberry Creme Twinkies I next saw THESE and thought "Hmmm, those look tasty." BAD LILY! Chocolate covered Twinkies! Have you tried these? What did you think?
Product #4: How many decades before someone said "Hey a square marshmallow would make s'mores making easier?" This is why I am proud to be an American - square-shaped marshmallows ... excuse me "s'moresmallows." If ever there was a reason to stop what you're doing and make some s'mores - this, my friends, is all the reason in the world.
Product #5: SRIRACHA POPCORN! I was traveling and didn't have any room in my suitcase. Which I feel weak even admitting ... I mean seriously, isn't there always room for sriracha popcorn?? I have never seen this product since my initial spotting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I am only left with my longing and regret ... have you tried it? What did you think?
Are there any products you have wanted to try but are too afraid/shy/broke to try? Let me know in the comments section!

Product #2: Cosmic Blue Twinkies - Twinkies with Blue Raspberry Creme. When I saw these, my first thought was "Oh God NO!" Seriously I already think "tons of artificialness" when I look at a Twinkie, do we need a bright blue filling too? Am I wrong? Is this the next best taste sensation?

Product #6: I have a love-hate relationship with flavored Oreos. Ever since I tried the Candy Corn Oreo and cried and cried and cried, I have been gun shy about flavored Oreos. I think Chips Ahoy also makes a root beer float flavored chocolate chip cookie. As Miss Toledo says - WHY? Why keep making things that taste like other things? Although I watched a BuzzFeed video that said that Oreos originally came in the chocolate with creme version and a LEMON MERINGUE version that was discontinued in the 1920's. What the what? Bring that cookie back and let me try it! But until then ... have you tried the root beer flavored Oreos? What did you think?
