    I did finally find plain skyr. It was in the health food section at Fred Meyer. Annoyed, but pleased. I'm going to try a batch this weekend with it. $1.69 for one 150g container is pretty steep. That is what more than a gallon of milk costs me at Costco to make about 800-900g (I like it thick, thick, almost like cream cheese so I strain, though it is not necessary - the yield would be much higher if I didn't, which makes it even worse)!

    Anyway, I got sucked down the Food Network recipe hole yesterday (particularly Bobby Flay's recipes) and did not buy a lot of new products to try in favor of raw ingredients. I did buy a jiamca to make some slaw with. I have never bought or ate it before, but I am intrigued, so we'll see. I am making this pizza tonight, so bought some watercress. I have never eaten watercress either, so I got fresh spinach as a backup in case my husband and I hate it. I wanted to buy arugula as the backup, but all they had was a little past its sell by date. Yuck. Same thing with their cilantro. They had conventional cilantro there 2/$1, but it was filthy dirty (like it had been run through the mud before being boxed up) and pale yellow-green. WTF, no. So I had to go over to the organic section where the cilantro was twice the price, but so much better looking and not caked with mud. I guess it is too much to ask of normal cilantro not to be filthy. No arugula there though either. Oh well. I plan on making a second pizza tonight with steak, cheese, bell pepper, onion pizza with horseradish cream sauce. It was my first time buying a horseradish root and grating. Burning my eyeballs at midnight last night doing this, but husband and I LUV horseradish, so I'm looking forward to seeing what I get tonight.

    On Saturday, I am trying out this vegetable meatloaf.

    I did buy one new non-produce item and that was this goat's milk ice cream.

    I really wanted to try last night when I got home, but I had no time and had to eat the rest of my skyr in the fridge to make room for groceries. Definitely will be tried tonight!

    Never dared trying cookie butter... not enough good fats in there so I guess it's where I draw the line for the calories, lol.

    I can see the comments on Impulsive Buy though?


    Oh I saw the Keylime pie Oreos at Shop Rite! Just not my thing (and $3.5 a box) so I didn't get them.

    I tried cookie butter incidentally. It was part of the core in B&J's Speculoos. Both my husband and I agreed it was too rich and not in a good way. It was big part of the reason we didn't like the ice cream in general even though we both really like speculoos otherwise.

    I saw a review on YT for Key Lime Oreos late last summer. I guess too late because by the time I saw it and went looking for them, I couldn't find them. I'll have to look the next time I am at Target!

    I meant to say that someone on the Questlabs community site did a mock up of quest flavored peanut butters. He had chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies & cream, and double chocolate chunk.

    They were showing interest so.... :)

    Grr Quest Labs. Still waiting for my invite. It's been what, 2 months? And they were telling people to sign up on FB a couple days ago... What's the point?

    Ok this

    pints-chocoloate-chip-nutrition.jpg

    Wanted to love it.. but the chemical taste from the sugar alcohols is just too strong. Bummer because the cookie dough pieces are super tasty. Will not buy again.

    Speaking of which, my Wegmans has all the Halo Top pints now... except the birthday cake, which is the one I wanted the most. Figures.

    Speaking of which, I taste tested the Arctic Zero pints I bought.

    Buttery Pecan - The ice cream part had a subtle buttery flavor and was creamyish but the pecan pieces were so small, you could barely tell one made it into your mouth.

    Cookie Dough Chip - The ice cream part was the normal ice milk texture and flavor but the chocolate chips were good. I don't remember any cookie part.

    Snickerdoodle Dandy - It didn't make an impression on me at all apparently because I can't remember if I liked it or not :)

    None of them beat the Halo Top Birthday Cake tho.

    I had been wanting to try these for awhile and finally found a single bar in stores. Glad I only bought one... very chalky taste. They have little whey crisp balls slightly stuck together with chocolate mint stuff, kind of like a rice krispie bar but much more delicate. Would not recommend.
