On food

[kierthos]

I was at the store a few minutes ago, and I saw something that puzzled me. So, of course, I made jokes about it.

Me: "Plain flavored yogurt. How do you know?"
Roommate: "What?"
Me: "When you eat it, how do you know it's plain flavored. What's your point of comparison?"
Roommate: *chuckles*
Me: *nomnomnom* "Mmmmm.... it's that wet cardboard taste! Authentic plain!"

(The same can be probably be said for unflavored oatmeal.)

- Later in the store.

Roommate: "Bread chips?"
Me: "What?"
Roommate: *points to item on shelf* "See?"
Me: "Okay, what about them?"
Roommate: "Who eats those? Who goes, 'This bread needs to be cut up into small pieces and left out until it gets hardened?'"
Me: "Beats me. It's not that weird a thing to eat, really."
Roommate: "Oh? What would you consider a weird thing to eat?"
Me: "Plain flavored yogurt."

I like the stuff, for various reasons

1 - Eating it isn't exactly the best use for plain-flavored yogurt.

2 - If eating it, the best deal is to flavour it yourself, preferably with home-made jelly.
Since I cannot tolerate many of the commercial flavorings used these days, and I abhor corn syrup, plain yogurt is just about the only "flavor" I buy anymore.

3 - If you drain plain yogurt, the resultant thicker, dryer yogurt is a great substitute for cream cheese, in baking.

The third one makes sense, considering the size of the plain yogurt container. (I think it was a quart.)

The fucked up thing (in my opinion) is that I cannot find lemon yogurt at this grocery store, but if I ever needed cinnamon bun flavored yogurt, why they have that for sale!

Re: Lemon yogurt

Easiest thing in the world to make:
1 - take some "plain-flavoured" yogurt

2 - Add some lemon juice

3 - Stir

4 - Add about 1/4 cup of sugar for each 8 oz. (to taste)

5 - Stir again

Presto :)
