I’ve been reading a lot about the “new” trend of frozen yogurt, such as LA’s Pinkberry (a new lychee flavor? YUM!), Yozen Frogurt, and now Yoberry in Seattle. I say “new” in quotes (/me does air quotes with my fingers), because does anyone else in my age bracket and older remember Penguin yogurt, TCBY (which should not be called “TCBY yogurt” because it’s redundant), and, of course, Honey Treat, which had the best tart yogurt?

How can frozen yogurt be a trend when all these have been around for so many years? Is it because the “new” yogurt places LOOK trendier and are doing a better job at marketing, luring in young influential reviewers? Anyway, it sort of annoys me that frozen yogurt is all the rage now when it’s been such a yummy thing around for a long time. (People in Asia are probably the same thing about boba, too…)

Another thing that’s annoying me: my co-worker keeps a container of jellybeans from Costco at his desk for people to come by and take.  But one girl has gotten into the habit of taking the whole container to her desk (after the co-worker who owns it leaves early for the day). She ends up eating a lot of the jellybeans, but this habit also prevents other jellybean seekers from getting any!

Lots of updates and pics to add from recent family visits, but I haven’t gotten the chance to do so yet, hence this weak post. :)
