Little Boy Blue come blow your horn. On second thought, go away and take that bloody horn with you. I hate the colour blue. I don't usually. But this time of year, the colour blue is a sad SAD colour. Did you know that January 16th is officially the most depressing day of the year? That's right folks, it's Blue Monday.
I'm happy to say however, as someone who battles Seasonal Affective Disorder (last year it kicked my butt), I have yet to feel its icy fingers wrapped around my happy place.
Maybe it's the unusually bright and mild winter we've been having? Perhaps it's my commitment to finally get the sleep I need. Or maybe those vitamins I've been taking have actually done the trick?
Whatever it is, I'm just happy to be happy.
In honour of Blue Monday, here are Ten Edible Blues. Be sure to enjoy at least one on January 16th!
Fresh blueberries (kept them intact, or they'll turn purple and wreck your blue streak)
Blue corn chips
Blue Jello
Blue Lagoon (made with Blue Curacao...I just had a flashback to 1994 and I liked it)
Blue Powerade
Blue M & Ms (the bulk store LOVES it when you pick out a specific colour from the bin)
Blue Bubble Gum Ice-Cream
Concord Grapes (well, they're blue-ish)
Blue Gummy Anythings
Blue Cheese

Can't find anything blue to eat? No worries, just put on a blue movie. That should lift your spirits. ;)
