Don't trust your instincts at Costco

What I really wanted for dinner last night was some ice cream, but I kept hearing MH's voice inside my head telling me my cholesterol was too high. So I went to Costco to get some non-fat frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. I got chocolate yogurt with berry topping, instead of the more standard "Very Berry Sundae" with vanilla yogurt. Mistake. The chocolate yogurt was actually excellent, with a rich chocolate flavor, and it was completely overwhelmed by the tang of the berry topping (made from blueberries, raspberries and blackberries). I should have simply gotten vanilla yogurt (although I like chocolate much better) which goes better with berries. Sadly, I didn't enjoy it enough to finish, and put the rest of it in my freezer.

I ended up eating Maypo (Maple-flavored oatmeal originally made in Vermont). The Maypo I had was from 2002, but it tasted fine. When I was growing up, I used to eat Maypo every day during the winter. At some point (mid-1990s, I believe), they changed the recipe so that it tastes more salty now than it did when I was younger. Too bad; the original Maypo was so delicious. It's still a lot more palatable than many cereals, so I still eat it occasionally.
