Crunchy Peanut Butter...

Here's another Fun Fact About Tony:

For years, I've been convinced I don't like crunchy peanut butter.  I shunned away from it.  I didn't want anything to do with it.  Creamy peanut butter for me, please!

And while I was editing Fall in Their Place, I discovered...Well, I found out the truth.  It seems a decade back, I decided crunchy peanut butter was bad on bagels.  And apparently that was enough to drive me away for...a decade.  A whole decade.  And during the course of that decade, I became convinced I didn't like it at all. 

So that's how these things can sometimes happen, I guess.  Sometimes you can plum forget the original reason you turned away from something, and eventually draw completely different conclusions. 

Yeah.

Oh, and by the way, I bought a jar of crunchy peanut butter recently.  Have been making sandwiches with it for the past week.  And it's been perfectly fine.  Of course.

Fun Facts About Tony! Favorite Yogurt

Hey, so here's something different:

My favorite indulgence at the moment (I kind of overdid it, I think, with peanut butter in recent years, forgetting, perhaps, that "indulgence" shouldn't mean overindulging) is Oui yogurt from Yoplait. 

I call it "French Heritage Yogurt," because, well, of my French heritage.  You can see that on the labeling itself it's "French Style Yogurt."  I have no idea if that's just a marketing gimmick.  I really don't care.  What I know is that it's absolutely delicious.

You may recall or be enduring it right now, the Greek-style fad that took over yogurt a few years back.  I tried it back at the start, and was fooled into thinking it was a good thing.  I remember telling a coworker, "Yeah, I liked it, but then I went with the safe bet, the vanilla flavor."  (Approximate dialogue.)  Vanilla is a can't-miss flavor.  I've actually called it my favorite ice cream in the past.  It's just hard to screw up.  But it can also mask deficiencies.  I ended up not liking Greek yogurt, thank you.

I've had all the available varieties of Oui and have enjoyed all of them.  I suppose I really ought to confirm that I can find it other than where I've been getting it, since that avenue will be closing off soon. 

Part of the charm and I admit it's a silly one, is that it comes in little glass jars.  I'm not usually someone who insists on "classy," but as yogurt containers go, it just seems classy.  Or glassy.  Anyway.  I like to keep souvenirs of this sort of thing (such as cans and/or bottles left over from the equally delightful Cheerwine cherry soda that's regionally available but hard to find even in-region, unless Publix is stocking it in their novelty soda selection, or I find myself at Cracker Barrel), so naturally I've got an empty one socked away.

Anyway, if you're looking for yogurt recommendations, there you go.
