Sara -- I went there because somewhere online said HEB had it. I don't know if they have it at CM; the HEB on Fountainview is one of those newer ones that is a traditional grocery store but they try to incorporate a little bit of the CM experience. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. It was in the refrigerated section by the butter.
YES it is EVERY BIT as good as Dave says. I grabbed it without even looking at the other products -- I think there was one other from Parker Farms. I would be interested in trying the chunky if they have it. Oh, bliss.
So, so yummy on apple slices. At first I thought I might give some to the kids, but it's much too good to be wasted on my offspring.

Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
I’m never sure how much personal stuff to write on this blog, but every now and then I feel compelled to share. And so right now, even though I’d rather be writing gift guides and assorted other nonsense, I’m just going to rant. Emmet has Asperger’s Syndrome. Look it up. It’s a disorder related to Autism, but sufferers are said to be “high functioning.” Just looking at him, you’d never know that anything was wrong. But if you spend some time with him, you’ll see that he has trouble with social functioning. Asperger’s sufferers (they call themselves “Aspies”) aren’t good at self-reflection, and they aren’t good at picking up on social cues. They're also (in most cases) uncoordinated, and they tend to have a variety of tics (physical and behavioral). On top of this, Emmet has an anxiety disorder. Emmet’s life is tough. He is in trouble constantly at school because of the little tics that he’s developed, and because of his anxiety, and because he is afraid of going to the bath
Mmmm...that makes me craves a a big chunk on chocolate with peanut butter on top!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. Welcome to the club!
ReplyDeleteOMG! How did you find it? Calling around? If that HEB has it, I wonder if any others do?
ReplyDeleteAnd is it as good as Dave says?
