Things that taste good (that i have eaten today):
mud coffee (caffeineatacious!)

raisin bran

strawberries
chocolate covered cherries
curried chicken salad (even better with grapes in it! no onions though, they fell on the floor.)
more chocolate covered cherries

Things that are disgusting:
balance bars. who knew? i thought it would be like a luna bar, which i quite enjoy. but not at alllllll. i got the yogurt honey peanut one. it had the texture of nougout (how is that spelled?) - mushy with a mushy coating. to be fair, i should point out that i don't like nougout. oook it is disgusting. but there weren't even any peanuts in it! i guess it's just peanut flavored? rather unfair. and i swear, there was a distinct aftertaste of fish! with the first bite, i thought i was just crazy, so i tried one more. definitely fish. goodbye balance bar, you can balance in the trash can. good thing i have more chocolate covered cherries to drown out the flavor!

that really was a stroke of luck - i got a bag of chocolate covered cherries in my thank-you present from my boss after the big event. (this was not a surprise, as i picked out and ordered the gift myself.) i hoarded them slowly throughout the month until yesterday when i was overtaken and ate six of them. they're pretty good-sized, so six might have been too many for one sitting, judging by the belly-ache. after the binge, there was one sad cherry alone in the bag. then today, my other boss came in with a whole new bag of chocolate covered cherries as a thank-you for another event! hoo-ray!! events are bad in nearly every way, but you certainly do get nice goodies. i could open a perfumerie and a chocolate covered cherry shop. scratch that, i eat the latter, it's the former that are starting to stockpile.

one sad thing to note: harry and david chocolate cherries (former stash) are far superior to chukar cherries (latter stash.) the chukar ones have kind of a malt-y flavor that isn't meshing as well with the cherries. but, what can you do, gotta get the fix!
