Chocolate Straws and Muffin Bars

This morning I had Adam drop me off at my school on the way to his, so I could finally get those to-do’s done.  It was nice to be out of the house, and up before 9, for a change.

Plus it felt good to check things off the list.  I picked up my recommendation letter, and delivered it to the application desk, and I printed off a few things.  Then I went to the registrar’s office….no, wait, I didn’t.  I walked halfway home and then I remembered that I had one final to-do!  I trekked back and was informed that my music class does indeed cover two requirements, which means I can’t drop it, no matter how god-awful it sounds.

I wasn’t expecting to make that extra half trip, but I’m glad I came prepared with breakfast in my purse.

LaraBar sent me their newest flavor to sample, Blueberry Muffin.  I’ve heard mixed reviews in the blog world so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I loved it!  I don’t know how they managed to approximate a baked good so well using dates.  There was this great crumbly muffininess to it.

When I finally did make it home from tromping about in the cold, I was parched.  Enter a big glass of skim milk with a chocolate milk straw.

I don’t drink a lot of milk (I prefer to get my dairy in yogurt form), but when I do I love it.  The straws are pretty neat too, they just barely flavor the milk with cocoa.  I tried to find a link and came up short, but I did discover that the Got Milk? site is totally amazing.  You should check it out.

Two Questions for Hump Day:

  1. What is your favorite way to eat dairy?
  2. What is your favorite LaraBar flavor?

  1. Ice cream and chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is good for workout recovery, so at least that one is justified!

    My all-time favorite flavor of Larabar is Peanut Butter Cookie. I buy those ones by the boxful. I also like Cashew, Apple Pie, and PB&J.

  2. 1.) Lately one of my favorite ways to have dairy is cottage cheese and melted cheese. I also like chocolate straws with milk! Tiddle E Winks is a vintage candy shop that has magic milk straws

    2.) I have only tried the Lemon Larabar I enjoyed it. I would like to try Blueberry Muffin!
