Yummy

A lot of new grocery stores have this thing I call a salad bar right when you walk in. Its a island preparation area where the store has its workers make green salads, fruit salads, salsa dip things (YUM!), vegetable trays, cut pineapple, etc, that you can pick up and go instead of, you know, getting the food for cheaper and doing the work yourself. Welcome to the instant gratification society but that's not the point of my post.

One thing the stores make that has piqued my interest whenever I see it is a Mixed Parfait: granola, fruit, and fat free yogurt in a container. Damn if it doesn't just look delicious. I had never tried one but was always tempted.

Today after Jiu Jitsu class I was feeling peckish and stopped by the Real Canadian Superstore on my way back to work. (BTW, was there ever a Fake Canadian Superstore? Did they have a war with the Real Canadian Superstore? Or is the Real Canadian Superstore actually a Fake Canadian Superstore in disguise? How do we know? These things keep me up a night.) And there at the salad bar was a bunch of Mixed Parfaits. "THIS time", I declared to everyone in earshot, "I will NOT be denied!"

I bought one, took it to work, and ate it.

And it was gooooooooood!

Now I just have to calculate how many Weight Watcher points it was worth.
