Today's Obsession: Greek Goodies

If I feel so inclined, I might have two obsession posts today... especially given that I didn't do one yesterday. Things just got a little hectic toward the end of day at work (I had to call every store in Manhattan on a rabid search for pom poms. It was ridiculous). But anyway, we shall see. Moving on.

...I think I'm obsessed with cookies. They're just so dam delicious. I think part of the appeal is that they are less messy and hand held. So I can go about my busy life and still eat them without the need for a plate or a fork. That may also be the reason why I love milkshakes, particularly Boloco Nutella milkshakes with a cookie blended in, but I digress.

Facebook's creepy side ads are typically catered to the individual. For example, since I played field hockey and am in a sorority, many of my ads revolve around similar themes. I refuse to believe that the single ads are catered to me, though.

So much digression... Today's obsession are these BakeGreek Greek letter cookie cutters. They continue to show up on my FB sidebar ads and I can't help but love them. Combining my love for my sorority with my love for cookies? And baking? TSM, yes, but delicious. The cutters come in one of three shades and are actually really affordable. I was thinking about getting Kappa and Gamma for Kappatastic sisters, but also thought it'd be fun to get a Rho, so I can make Rhos and Gammas for my fellow Rho Gammas (those are recruitment guides, for all you GDIs!). They like cookies too, right?

The only thing that would make all this even more fantastic would be if I made a Kappa apron. Summer project idea?? Obsessed (and now hungry).

Today's Obsession: The Cravory

I'm so behind... But today was FAR better than the rest of this week. And I attribute that largely to the fact that my day got off to an awesome start. I went running this morning and then showered, got ready while watching an episode of "Big Love" and left the house with my breakfast of champions! My mom's been pushing for me to get peanut butter so I have some more protein. So I smeared a spoonful on my chocolate dutch cookies (which I always keep on hand) and walked out. My own delicious creation. Win!

I just love cookies. I can't help it. I'm not really a cake person (I like three: cheesecake, Red Velvet and German chocolate) and I joke that at my wedding people won't be eating cake. They'll be eating pie and cookies (noms). So today's obsession (besides using parentheses) is this company called The Cravory. My mama sends me cookies from them and they are amazing. There's currently ONE pack left that I'm saving for this silly boy who tasted them and became equally infatuated. One might argue he's only seeing me for my cookies... Nahhh.

The Cravory has a ton of awesome flavors. And they switch them up all the time. You can also make your own flavors for a little bit more. My current Cravory craving are the Mexican Hot Chocolate babies. Chocolate and spicy? Sign me up. The site tells you a little description, the ingredients annndd suggested pairings to fully appreciate the yummy Cravory goodness. I should note that I didn't initially realize how much they cost, but can assure you that they are worth every overpriced penny. And calorie. Obsessed.
