Serious NOM

This last weekend I was at Trader Joe's and they had tangerines J'ADORE! They are my favorite, and I never see them at Trader Joe's, in fact I haven't seen them around for a long time. Usually they just carry those damn "cutie's" or whatever. So I bought 2 bags.

I packed my lunch for Monday, and included 4 tangerines, since they are small and all. After the annoyance of trying to peel one, only to find about 15 seeds in the little fucker I gave up.

So I juiced the rest of bag 1 tonight and oh man, sofreakingdelish. I used to just buy the 1/2 gallon of Odwalla tangerine juice, but then they stopped making it. The only thing that sucks is my way of juicing, which is a ceramic owl shaped thing. I got it from Anthropologie. Since I never really juiced stuff besides the occasional lime or lemon for salad dressing, I never saw a reason for buying something else.

Now I think I am going to buy a for real juicer. Well, at least for real for me. The plus side is that my little cottage complex has an orange tree, so I think I am going to take super advantage of that.

Also, a quick search on Craigslist and you can find someone selling 50LBs of valencia oranges for $20. Seems like a steal of a deal, now I just need that juicer..

Finding the Perfect...

Yogurt. Yeah, I'm picky like that. The best yogurt I have ever had was in France--Paris if I want to be dramatic about it... Duh! However, that goodness is not available here in the US of A, besides for some Dannon la creme or something like that. So I made the switch to Greek yogurt and have been satisfied with it. However, I get the urge now and then for the French stuff so low and behold my excitement today at Whole Foods when I spied

"Saint Benoît, Artisanal, French-style yogurt"

At $2.89 for a small 7.5 oz container, I got strawberry and honey. It irked me that they didn't offer standard vanilla, I judge all yogurts by the quality of the vanilla flavor. Anyway, was cashing out and they also charge an additional $1.50 because the jars are reusable, what bullshit! Ok, I will pay out, but it better be worth it.

Woooomp, waaaah.

How disapointing! It tastes horrible! Its not even thick, EXCUSEZ-MOI I don't know what "France" you went to, but when I got yogurt there it was a thick, consistent texture throughout and delicious, this tastes like runny, grainy, collated milk and I am appalled that I spent $4.39 per container! I think I am going to return the other one.

Don't waste your money.
