Random Food/Drink Encounters

Last week I was standing in the kitchen at work talking to a colleague.  As we chatter, I poured my can on Coke Zero into a glass with ice.  I was clearly not paying any attention whatsoever, because suddenly, I was emptying an individual cup of vanilla creamer into my glass.  I couldn't believe what a moronic move I had just made.  After we both made fun of my stupidity, my friend dared me to take a sip of it.  If you know me at all, you know I rarely turn down a dare, - so of course I took a sip.  Turns out, it was delicious!  It tasted just like a Coke float, but without the ice cream.  I was very excited about my new creation.  No one else at work is willing to try it, and they look it me like I'm nuts when I pour creamer in my soda, but I don't care.  If they knew how wonderful it tasted, they would jump right on the bandwagon.

Then, today, I wasn't hungry for lunch at a normal time.  By about 1:30, my tummy started growling.  I was covering the front desk for the afternoon, so I knew I'd need to grab something quick.  I ran down to starbucks and bought a turkey sandwich, and I also grabbed a yogurt parfait.  I wasn't paying any attention to what flavor parfait I bought, because there weren't many left, and I like them all.  What I didn't know was that Starbucks just came out with a new flavor of yogurt parfait - Greek yogurt with honey.  By the time I got back to the desk, I realized what I had purchase, but decided to give it a try anyhow.  Turns out, it was delicious too.  

I've never been a picky eater, but these are two things I would not have though I would enjoy.  One of them, slightly more gross than the other, but both equally fantastic.  I guess the lesson is that sometimes accidents work out.   Afterall, look at Teflon, Viagra and Microwaves - all products of accidental discoveries.
