I want to reiterate, this is really the time of yogurts. We just passed by the area and there was a short line forming so we stopped to try the place out.

You go through the same process, get your own frozen yogurt, choose your choice toppings, weigh it and pay at the cashier.

Janiz: What's with the look?

Kiara: I am a little disappointed.

Janiz: Huh? Why?

Kiara: I still prefer Qoola. So I was right that it was the best yogurt so far.

Janiz: It's really hard to please your taste buds.

Kiara: No mom, it's just I've tasted something better so I have a point of reference. And I must say Qoola has that distinct taste i love.

My daughter's style has evolved over the years, her styles are more innate these days. No more "mom influence" in fashion, I now keep my opinions to myself.

Janiz: Baby, you'll turn 10 in a few days. Time does fly.

Kiara: *sigh* Can I be 9 forever?

Janiz: As bad and as selfish as it sounds, I want you to be 9 forever too.

Kiara: What should we do mom?

Janiz: Don't worry, I'll make an emergency call to a vampire volunteer.

Kiara: *hmph* Mom! This is a serious matter and should be taken seriously.

Janiz: I am serious baby. If I can, I would, but I'll have to let nature take it's course.

Kiara: Fine, vampire it is!

Janiz: *chuckles* You're a funny bunny! *hugs*

Just outside Greenbelt 5 we tried out a new place to have a taste of Mediterranean cuisine, or just some of it. I for one was not that hungry, my brother and I had shawarma, while my daughter of course had chicken with rice on the sides.

It was almost like a hole in the wall but I noticed that most customers were Persians too. It was probably the confirmation that this was the right place. We were tempted to try other cuisine but I was really full and I just ate since it would have looked rather odd that someone in the table was just watching the others eat.

Kiara: Are you sure you're not going to have rice?

Janiz: Yeah, I'm good with this, anything more would be glutton.

Kiara: You're exaggerating! Maybe you're just in a diet?

Janiz: I have never been on a diet. I just go fasting on Fridays, it's not dieting, it's sacrificing.

Kiara: It's not Friday today so you can binge up.

Janiz: But I'm full, why can't you believe that?

Kiara: You were never full.

Janiz: Stop trying to force feed me, I'm not buying it.

Kiara: *sigh* Fine, don't blame me if you'll go hungry halfway through the night.

That's really how my daughter is. She always try to look out for me. She's a sweetheat.

I honestly think that this is the time of yogurts. There are dozens popping up like mushrooms. But this one tops our list, Qoola Yogurt + Fruit, a Canadian company which claims:

"Our genuine fresh frozen yogurt is made from 100% natural ingredients, and packed with live and active cultures. Decadently creamy, irresistably tangy and superbly nutritious, Qoola's fat-free, gluten-free, and certified kosher frozen yogurt will never disappoint."

It was our first time so they were more than glad to give us free samples so we can choose what flavors we want. Basically with Qoola it's "do it yourself".
Get as much yougurt as you please and stuff whatever toppings you could take. Then after they'll weigh it in then you pay it in the cashier.

I knew my daughter was leaping up in bounds when she went through the whole process. She loves doing stuff like these, I just hope she loves eating it more though.

Janiz: What flavor did you choose?

Kiara: Chocolate with rice crispies, fruit loops, vanilla kisses and marshmallows.

Janiz: Wow! So what's your verdict?

Kiara: Mom, this is the best frozen yogurt I've ever tasted!

Janiz: The best ever?

Kiara: The best so far. Qoola is...(makes a hand heart shown in the picture above) LOVE.
