Five on Friday - May 3, 2019

Happy May!  This is such a fun weekend coming up with the running of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow and Cinco de Mayo on Sunday.  Before we get into all that, here's my five for today ~

1.  Free Comic Book Day
Right on the heels of the new Avengers movie, it's time to celebrate Free Comic Book Day tomorrow.  Grab your comic book lover friends and head to a participating store for your free book on Saturday.  Wonder which stores are participating?  Check out the shop locator service found on www.FreeComicBookDay.com to find a store close to you.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY – FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY

2.  Blizzard Flights
Dairy Queen has come up with the very best idea - Mini Blizzard "Flight" Treats!  Available now through the end of May, you can get a sampling of three different blizzards on one cute tray.  Each cup is 6 ounces and comes in the following flavors:  Caramel Cannonball Blizzard Treat, Oreo Cookie Jar Blizzard Treat, Brownie Dough Blizzard Treat, S'mores Blizzard Treat, Cotton Candy Blizzard Treat, and the Summer Berry Cheesecake Blizzard Treat.  Picking just three could be hard to do!If there was some sort of ice cream happy hour, Dairy Queen would definitely be in charge. While going out for ice cream after work has yet to catch on, the frozen dessert chain has taken the concept of alcohol tasting and applied it to ice cream with its all-new Mini Blizzard "Flight" Treats, served on a cardboard painter's palette for easy snacking. The Blizzard "Flights," available now through the end of May, are basically an ice cream sample platter, which means you can enjoy three ice cream flavors instead of one — so excuse me while I place an order. Each Mini Blizzard "Flight" tray comes with three mini (6-ounce) blizzards, available for $7 to $10 at participating locations. The best part? Since you don't have to settle for one flavor, you can mix and match with all of your favorites, or even try something new! In addition to the Mini Blizzard Flights, the ice cream chain is also offering six new and returning blizzard flavors through the end of the Summer, including: Caramel Cannonball Blizzard Treat, Oreo Cookie Jar Blizzard Treat, Brownie Dough Blizzard Treat, S'mores Blizzard Treat, Cotton Candy Blizzard Treat, and the Summer Berry Cheesecake Blizzard Treat. Yum! Check out a few flavor combos ahead. Related: A Wendy's Frosty Is as Good as a Classic Gets, but This Chocolaty Upgrade Is Pretty Sweet
3.  Long Shot
I'm ready for a good comedy and this one sounds like it will be hilarious.  Long Shot, starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron, opens today.  Here's the synopsis from Fandango ~
When Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) reunites with his first crush, one of the most influential women in the world, Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte hires Fred as her speechwriter and sparks fly.

4.  Pie-Palooza
Eric and I are joining a couple of friends on Saturday for Pie-Palooza at a fabulous French bakery in St. Louis.  Food Network and New York Times bakers Chris Taylor and Paul Arguin will be there to talk about new cookbook, "The New Pie".  I have my book and am ready to have it signed!  You'll be hearing more about this, so stay tuned.  If you would like to check out their cookbook, click HERE.

    My boys are hoping to get to the theaters to see the new Avengers; I didn't realize it was free comic book day too. We have a local comic book store that has an amazing selection for kids to choose from.

    Hey Penny,
    While I love the idea of the Blizzard flights, (and I love me some Blizzards) I don't think I could eat an entire trio or what not. To share, cool. Love the idea though. :)
    Hope you had a good week hun.
