Heather Eats Almond Butter…

By MizFit | February 9, 2010

and a few *other* things.

I had a fantastic time at Blissdom meeting tons of bloggers from all different genres.

One of my fave Nashville bloggers, however, was not in attendance.

As a result I was compelled to beg her to join me so that we could at long last meet in person…

…and to drag her into the icky dizaster below so we could both taste, on camera, something neither of us had consumed before.

Together.

As Sisters in YouNeedToWatchTheVideoToFindOutWhat.

Please to enjoy.

    I haven’t had sardines in awhile, but I do like them. But I used to get them in oil.

    OK I have to ask:

    You all are brave. I don’t know if I could do that. I really do not enjoy fish. Heather’s blog is one of my favorite reads. It’s fun to see you both “live.”

    hahahhahahhaha! You guys are hilarious. Ick….I used to work with a guy who ate mass amounts of those. The smell alone was too much for me. Isn’t Heather the best? She is just so super sweet. Glad you made it home safe ;)

    I have them occasionally; don’t hate ‘em, don’t love ‘em.

    My husband always slops mustard on them.

    I HEART Heather and got to meet her at POM! Such a sweetheart.

    You’re both so brave with the sardines, hehe. Your expressions are the same as mine the first (and last!) time I ever had raw herring when I lived in Holland :D

    February 9th, 2010 at 6:26 am

    Wow! I don’t know that I would try sardines…but I did try some sushi for the first time yesterday. I’m not a big fish fan it tends to taste too…uh, fishy! :) Is Blissdom something that’s going to be happening every year?

  20. Diana('s Journey) Says:
    February 9th, 2010 at 6:30 am

    The flavored stuff doesn’t taste bad. I like anything garlic flavored though. Just plain without salt or oil or anything else? Idk. lol. Brave :)

  21. Stacey Says:
    February 9th, 2010 at 6:30 am

    I’m a big fan of Heather’s blog too!

    Why am I so surprised you know each other? I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during your meetup!

  23. MizFit Says:

    I did try some sushi for the first time yesterday.

    THE FIRST TIME? I could live on sushi. Thankfully I cant afford to :)

    The flavored stuff doesn’t taste bad.

    DietGirl said the BBQ is better? I may have to redo this and get me some flavored :) as many kinds as I can find.

    Who is talking in the background/filming?
    Another blogger??

    Yes! It is Leah from bookieboo.com

    Blissdom something that’s going to be happening every year?

    This is only the THIRD year and it has grown from I think 50 women the first year to 500!
    They are indeed having next year AND launching a Blissdom CANADA!

    off to eat breakfast #2
    and NO.
    Not sardines.

    Urp! That probably wasn’t a good thing for me to watch so early in the a.m.

    I’m still bummed I missed Blissdom! I was a week too late in signing up. ah well, next year, if the $$$ hold out. :)

    Tried sardines for the first time a couple weeks ago. Like you, I ate them right out of the can (and ate the whole can). I think they would be better on a salad, or some flat bread with hummus and cukes, or … well as an ingredient in something.

    I’m adding them to my “regular” foods - they have lots of good stuff.

  35. Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman Says:

    You’re braver than I am. I know they’re good for you and sustainable and everything but ick, ick, ick!

  36. Karen Says:
    February 9th, 2010 at 10:02 am

    I am now sitting here wondering if you HAD said that your guns were all due to sardines if I would have started eating them.

    love ya Miz.

    February 9th, 2010 at 10:21 am

    Ew ew ew…I was yelling at the video “DON’T DO IT!!!” but y’all did…icky! Did you have a bottle of water off camera to rinse and spit afterward?

    The two of you are so cute together - glad you got to meet up and share some shenanigans!

    February 9th, 2010 at 11:01 am

    Your glasses are tinted cuz the filter in the camera is interacting with the filter coating on them.
    So my husband says.

    Me, I was just looking at the almond butter…:)

    I used to eat sardines on toast and on crackers growing up. I haven’t had them for years, but I walk past them on the shelf at the store and think about it. Mixed with some mayo, I love ‘em.

    And definitely better in oil.

    I’m so going to buy some this weekend. The Boy won’t eat them but I’ll enjoy. Nom Nom.

    you did not look like you were enjoying it, I will pass on the sardines

  55. Peggy Says:

    I tried sardines for the first time about two years ago. I bought them in a spicy tomato sauce and tossed them with pasta. I said they were not horrible and finished the portion on my plate but the leftovers were tossed a week later. I have no desire to eat them again.

  56. s Says:
    February 9th, 2010 at 5:06 pm

    hehe! cool video post. i’ve never tried sardines (that i know of, haha). don’t think i ever will.

  57. Gena Says:
    February 9th, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    “Bones have calcium.” Way to look on the bright side, Heather. I’ve never had sardines, but I think the packed in oil and salt ones would probably taste better.

  58. christieo Says:
    February 9th, 2010 at 8:08 pm

    LOL you guys are better women than me! Not a sardine eater, kinda grosses me out. But good for you on trying them!

    Cute vid! OK truth: There is a swanky LA establishment called Kate Mantilini- in beverly hills. I go there sometimes because several members of my family have health issues that bring them to nearby doctors (I wish it was just to shop shop shop but alas, NO). ANyway, Kate’s has a Sardine and Banana Sandwich. NO LIE! (IT’s not on the menu online) And honestly, because I’m weird I had to order it and truth be known. I liked it. There I said it.

    So fun that you two met up- Would have loved to have joined you!

    I love it! This video made me smile from ear to ear :) You two are so cute, I wish I could meet you in person!

    Way to go for trying those sardines…I am not sure I could do it. I’ve never tried them before and I guess I need to do so before I say that I don’t like them! ;)

    How much do I love you two??? Almost as much as I love sardines! Kidding. Mostly. You guys are adorable - someday I will meet you too! Until then, I’ll crack open a can in your honor:)

    I don’t love sardines, but do love the easy quick protein they offer. Try putting them in a bowl with some high quality basalmic vinegar and eat on a really crunchy cracker - I like the Mary’s GF. It off sets the texture of the sardine… you can learn to like anything…
