Picnic Bar

10/18/2010

My head went on vacation today. I figured that out when I got on the bus to go to the gym after work, and I realized that I didn't have any workout clothes in my bag. I had shoes and socks, but no shirt and pants. Then, when I made dinner, I turned on the wrong burner for Al's pot of water. He was waiting for his water to boil, but it was cold when he was ready to put his pasta in the pot. The good part of my errors is that I had a great walk home from the city after work, and Al and I had a good laugh later on before dinner. I guess it's okay to have a super-ditzy day every once in a while, as long as nobody gets hurt!

One of the better parts of my day included a coworker giving me a mini Picnic bar. These things are fantastic. I brought a bag of these mini bars home in June, and they were a hit. Everybody who tried them loved them. It's a little bit like a Babe Ruth or some other candy bar that has numbers in the name, but I can't remember it. Really, I'm in a special place today.

I started eating mine, and then I remembered that I wanted to take a picture. That's my third super-ditz mistake of the day.

Ahhh behold the amazingness of my iPhone 3G camera. I betcha a real camera could capture the details on this candy bar a lot better. A Picnic bar is "a unique combination of peanuts, wafer, caramel and rice crisps covered in delicious cadbury milk chocolate"- as so deliciously described on the wraper in the picture above. I didn't think you'd actually be able to read it above, so I made sure to write it down for later. It's a bad picture, but I'm sure that you can make out the caramel on top and the wafer in the middle. It's really messy. That's the only bad thing I can say about it. It gets all over me. Don't let that scare you away, though. You have to try one if you ever get the opportunity.

Well, I am tired, and I just wasted a good 30 minutes of my life watching a South Park episode that makes fun of Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives of New Jersey and of course Al Qaeda. I highly recommend it if you watch any reality shows that have to do with New Jersey. You will laugh. Hard.

Hi Jenny, I recently found your blog, ad it's nice to see another Illinoisian in Australia :) I'm actually from Peoria, but met an awesome Aussie guy abroad. Anyways, I also love the picnic bar - straight hits. How do you feel about Crunchies?

@ Brooke- I agree, I'm not sure how many of us there are here! I'm actually not so crazy about Crunchies. I might have strange taste though. Picnics and cherry ripes are my favorite.
