History

You might be wondering, "Where did the name 'Tartraz' originate?" You're not wondering? Too bad whore, sit down and listen.

So I don't really like to admit to people that I like Mesa Frozen. Mainly because when I'm there, I feel like a bishop is going to come out and request 10% of my yogurt. Also, sometimes when I walk in I feel like when I walk out I'll be in, horrors of all horrors, Provo, UT. As a juxtaposition, I kind of really want my engagement announcement to hang there some day; just for comedy's sake.

Anyway here is the inspiration for my blog name:

Mesa Frozen's Tart Raspberry. Ambrosia.

You may think I posed like this for the picture, you're wrong, I just always eat ugly.

Yes all pictures on my blog are taken with the Powershot (notice my subtle correction) It has this close up mode that is very cool. Tell Brad to buy one for you.

Kristal said...

wow, you do eat ugly. Guess that's better than just being ugly. K, we're fans of mesa froyo too, but if I were to name my blog after a flavor, DEFINATELY "butterbrikle!" Friday nights baby!! oh yeah!

I'm also a huge fan of "tart raz" at Mesa Frozen. Its just so far from us so we tend to go to the Gelato Spot more... which is equally as yummy, or better in my opinion. Its on Scottsdale Rd and Indian School if you haven't tried it... go.

Erica said...

I will have to try this gelato space you speak of, when are you starting a blog nat?

Michelle said...

Bishop requesting 10% of your yogurt, I love my funny daughter.

Maybe when you tire of taking pic's of yourself you can respond to your best friend's tag request.

Erica said...

I write about myself everyday, I can't think of seven new things to list!

Here I'll get you started

1. I hate doing dishes.

2. I spend way too much on hair products.

I actually was curious were you came up with that name, now I know. Nat, Craig and i love Gelato's, we also like the restaurant right across from it Zen 32, but we are weird and we like sushi.

dani said...

Lol you are so funny. i have always wondered where the name came from. I haven't had the pleasure of trying that flavor but now that i know it is origin of my daily entertainment, perhaps i shall try it.

Forgive me Tartraz, for I have been pronouncing you in my mind as "tar-traz" not "tart-raz." How will I ever make this up to you?

Emily, Julia, and Annie said...

So, maybe my sister Julia and I were going to leave a note on your car that was parked outside our Uncle Neil's house. Then we thought that it would be super creepy if it was not yours...and maybe we would seem a little creepy doing it anyways...

Erica said...

lol I wish you would have! that would have been the best thing ever, probably because I like creepy things. and I am also creepy.
