Check out my progress on Nobody Better Lay a Finger…
So the other day I was sitting in Seth’s car, when a certain crumpled orange wrapper caught my eye…and no, it was not a Butterfinger.
“Seth, did you take a Lara from my bar stash?”
“Oh yeah, that. It wasn’t even that good.”
My heart sank. The bar I had searched all summer for had been nabbed by my unknowing boyfriend. Furthermore, he didn’t even enjoy the blasted thing. Although I was disappointed, I didn’t launch into an angry tirade for several reasons:
1) Seth is not a health nut-foodie, so I don’t think he grasped the elusive nature of these new Larabar flavors when he dipped into my bar stash. I forgive him, for he knows not what he does.
2) Well, I can’t really stay mad at Seth for very long, no matter the transgression.
3) I had a coupon for 75 cents off my next Larabar purchase.
All was resolved this afternoon, when I purchased a replacement bar (along with one each of coconut crème pie and peanut butter and jelly flavors).
Do you get upset when loved ones dip into “your” stash of snacks? Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets possessive over my grocery goodies.
Onto the grub!
Last week, you may recall that I made a failed attempt at my beloved vegan banana pancakes. That catastrophe convinced me that I am out of practice in my pancake-making skills, so I gave them another try this morning. Success!
After my usual Friday agenda of cleaning and grocery shopping, I made a massive, colorful salad.
Soon enough my tummy rumbled again, so I answered its pleadings with a chickpea curry.
Off to start the weekend! Have a good one:)

awww…
that’s funny, though. Jason has done the same thing! he also will rip into single serve packets of protein powder or amazing grass, when we have an open container of the same flavor!! (I like to keep the single serve for travel).
I have a box in the pantry for my bar stash, and then I have a couple specific flavors that I hide in a drawer!! …is that awful ?
This story made me laugh out loud! I can so imagine being in the same situation with Bobby and just wanting to shake my finger at him and say, “You just don’t get it, do you?!”
Oh boys, when will they learn that if their girlfriends are foodies, they need to ask permission to share??
Glad you found a replacement bar! I STILL haven’t found the newest ones anywhere.
Love the chickpea curry! Great use of Flatout, if you don’t mind me saying.
It still makes me happy every time I see it on your blog!
Ahh that poor, poor Larabar! I bet it was delicious, he just didn’t wanna admit it
haha. I have that one in my stash, still waiting to be eaten. I adore the rest of the new ones, though, so I do have high hopes.
Enjoy your day!

If someone took my larabar, I would slap them in the face
oh man i always get upset when someone dips into my stash. especially if i find out as i’m opening the pantry to eat whatever it was. it’s silly to get so upset, i know, but…AGH! if i’ve had a particularly bad day, i’ve been known to even be reduced to tears by it. it’s horribly embarassing, really.
I may have scolded my mom for eating the snap peas I’d just bought at the store. I felt somewhat guilty for that one. But yeah, I do tend to get a bit angry when people eat certain things I buy, especially if I had plans for them.
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i seriously commend you for not getting mad at seth haha i would have been prettttttty ticked off!
i guess his ‘i love chickpeas” tshirt creation makes up for it hahaha. seriously that had me “awwing” out the wazoo when i read that!
I have no bar stash so that woulda never happened
But I would have been sad if it did happen to me. My jaw dropped when I read the beg of your post! Oh well, you can just buy another one. All is not lost.
To answer your question: yes. I do. Your salads look delicious. I just cant get enough of salad these days for some reason.. mabye its all the sweet corn and goddess dressing I put on top that makes them so good hehe
I get SO UPSET when my boyfriend eats my food. And its always right before I planned on eating it. Good for you, not getting too upset!
When my brother eats my cereal…..I feel like HITTING him!! It’s MY cereal..not his! Ahem….as you can tell I get a bit protective over…yes….food…! haha!
Mmmm those pancakes DO look a success xx
I don’t like Larabars, but I know what you mean abt your favorite stash…I’m probably the same way abt my nuts. And chocolate-covered nuts.
Mmmm, you definitely reminded me of something I miss: Pancakes. However not the classic Miss Butterworth ones, lathered in preservative syrup and gross stuff, but the nutritious ones that taste so yummy
So my story goes one with me making a batch this morning– I used your banana split pancakes recipe and they turned out Amazinggg, with a few adjustments on my end
Thanks, Caroline and have a wonderful weekend 
!
Pancakes look lovely. I don’t have to worry about people taking my food…I eat it all, live alone, and can’t afford expensive stuff anyways…;)
it’s funny how you tell it. I wouldn’t feel angry if my hubby takes me snack although he would never do that because we have completely different taste preferences!
Haha. I do actually get really testy when people take my food — I’m such a picky eater, I figure, it’s not at all fair for them simply to assume that my food is easily replaced. But then, I’m always happy if they DO happen to say it was delish.
hi!,I like your writing so much! percentage we keep up a correspondence more approximately your post on AOL? I need an expert on this house to solve my problem. Maybe that is you! Having a look ahead to peer you.
