Notes

[serene]

1) Mom's home and already overexerting herself. Ah, well, she's a grown
woman, and if she ends up back in the hospital, it will be its own
punishment.

2) I told folks I'd be mailing books on Tuesday. Well, um, Tuesday's a US
holiday. Make that Wednesday, please.

3) Luna Bars. Really? People EAT those? That may be the foulest thing I've
put into my mouth in months.

4) someotherguy is making pizza again tonight, so that will get
the taste of the icky Luna Bars out of my mouth.

5) The Alison Bechdel thing at Cal is tomorrow at 4. Anyone up for it?

Oh good, someone else who doesn't like those. I thought they tasted like guinea pig food smells.

Luna bars are like Gatorade. If they taste good, you really needed one.

Good luck to your mom!

My younger son was into a few of the Luna Bar flavors (such as Peanut-Butter Cookie) for a while -- as he pretty much only eats organic vegan food, I would buy them by the box to take along on trips to be sure of having things he would eat far away from the SF Bay area. These days he eats (among other things) Crispy Cat bars instead.

I don't like Luna bars but I do like Trader Joe's granola bars, the ones that have peanut butter (there are two kinds).

No spoons for Alison, sorry.

Which flavor did you have?

Glad your mom is home hope she takes it easy but I doubt it.
I like what I think is called Tiger milk bars but only the peanut butter. The other protein bars I have tried always have the texture to me of gooey sawdust YUCK!

Luna bars tend to be more tasty than Clif bars. When you're trying to deal with hypoglycemia and an 8-hour workday in a lab without kitchen facilities, one is sometimes forced to resort to drastic measures.

In other words, sometimes I have to eat meal-bars. Luna bars tend to be the least offensive of the available options in that scenario.

I used to like many, though never all, flavors of Luna bars. I'm not sure if they reformulated for the worse, or I burned out on them, or both, but yeah, not so much any more. The Sunrise bars are better, but I've gotten tired of them, too.

Likewise the Kashi bars -- ok for a while, but then burned out.
