Dear Sillies,
How are you, my friends? Please be and treat yourselves well.
In the midst of things, I tried to experience that Berning sensation that my favorite senior man incites. So I sampled a snack, Western Cocoa Cayenne - granola with cocoa nibs, cayenne pepper, and other yummy stuff. It's very low in sugar and thus a healthy snack for me. I'm trying to cut down. Sort of. Smiles.
I've mixed it with some cashew yogurt (also very low in sugar). Mmm. It's good. Unfortunately, though I wore my favorite t-shirt*, this didn't get me there. I'd describe the flavor as sweet, fruity, crunchy, and rustic. *("Feel the Bern 2016") It has a bit of a kick; no burn, though. None at all. A bit disappointing. It's a yummy snack, though. I'd recommend making it yourself with a mix of nuts and cocoa nibs, perhaps some cranberries or raisins. Otherwise, it's not worth the $7. I give it a 5 out of 10. My tens are reserved for the man himself. Because I love him.
and he loves you. Do you have Bernie mittens? Still the rage. Especially since I think it's still snowing in VT. You'll have to be ready when he invites you up to the cabin.
ReplyDeleteCheers and not so much sugar - good luck!
No Bernie mittens. In CA, I wouldn't have much use for them.
DeleteThank you, Joanne.
think bigger and create the modified CA version of Bernie mittens - you could get a whole movement going...c'mon, Super Fan. The CA surfer style! Hugs to you
DeleteI'll take all the sugar and you can have all the cayenne. Did it have a scoville rating? It takes a scoville rating of 1.5 to make my eyes burn.
ReplyDeleteHm, I don't know, Mike. Never heard of a scoville rating so I'm guessing it doesn't have one.
DeleteHey, thanks for joining our silly crew.

DeleteYou need to learn this. There will be a test on Monday.
Haha, thanks, Mike.
DeleteI'm wimpy when it comes to spices, so I never did study up on it. Sigh. I'll do my best. *Excuse me while I seek a Cliff Notes version. Do they still have those? In the days of Google, perhaps there's no need. But the Cliff Notes thing was a genius life-saver.
I think I will pass as I am not much into yogurt and the rest of the stuff although I like chocolate covered raisins...yummy
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention these things, I love yogurt covered raisins or pretzels, Birgit. But chocolate covered (almost) anything is good too.
DeleteHugs.
That snack sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty good. I might try for a home made concoction at some point.
DeleteThanks, Annalisa.
Love your awesome t-shirt! Unlike your snack, Bernie never disappoints!
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing about my Bernie - he's ever predictable, never disappointing.
DeleteCheers, Debra.
Cayenne pepper but no heat? What's the point?
ReplyDeleteI know, Alex. I was expecting much more of a kick, but I didn't even need to have water on stand-by.
DeleteSnacks and Bernie, I like how you mix things up!

Only the most delicious of things for me. ;-)
