Peanut Butter Cups at a Bakery?
To continue on the theme of vegan baked goods and pastries I would be remiss to mention again that around the holidays, Cakewalk makes the most amazing vegan peanut butter cups. They are also typically very large. Anyone who has traveled with me or even ridden in my car knows that previous to my vegan eating change that I ate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups all the time. In all the dietary changes I made this is probably the only one that stressed me out a little.
Thank goodness for Kelly at Cakewalk! Missie knew my love for pastries as well as peanut butter cups and brought us a few one day. I can’t remember which holiday it was but I was hooked. Lori brought a Valentine’s gift bag to me this past Monday and she had bought a variety of Dillos as well as 8 vegan peanut butter cups. Oh yeah! This week has been filled with cacao intoxication. Lori told me when she went in to Cakewalk on Monday to pick it up that there were only 4 peanut butter cups in the display case.
Guy at the counter: “What can I get for you?”
Lori: “I want all the peanut butter cups.”
Guy at the counter: “You’re going to make a lot of people sad” as he walks over to a large container with numerous peanut butter cups.
Lori: “Oh, I only want 6, well, maybe 8.”
We take our treats seriously and it’s a good thing we found some vegan options.
In other news, Lori and I are proud owners of mountain bikes! Lori had one before but it was old and beat down. When you see her on the dirt on an S-Works Epic she’ll have a big smile on her face. Wait a minute, that’s what she looks like all the time riding a bike. I’ll be rolling an S-Works Stumpjumper FSR. Yep, full suspension for me too. After my 2 week training camp last fall to get ready to get my butt kicked in the 24 Hours of Moab team ride I remembered how much fun it is to ride the dirt. Lori and I followed that up with a week in Moab over Thanksgiving and I was rehooked! I’ll try to get some photos rolled up on this thing soon.
See you out on the road for now. Oh, and if you see me eating a Dillo, looks like a twinkie, don’t slap it out of my hand. They are pricey and delicious!!!
