Nutella Day

Happy Nutella Day!

Allow me to inform you, I have never eaten Nutella in my entire life…that is….not until today.  There was a period in my life where I consumed hazelnut Krave cereal for nearly every meal for a year, but that’s as close as it gets really. In the past, I believe I suffered from a mild case of nutella-phobia.  Why must this be?!  Good question…the baby illustration pictured below definitely didn’t help much, but I think the main reason I was put off was the name…..it reminds me of  Ovaltine  and for some reason both names do not sit well with me…..both names are one the “unspeakable list” along with moist, hanger, saliva, and doily.

I was brave today, cracked open the seal, pushed my spoon into the goo, and ate. At first I thought, “Oh…. nope…nope…I don’t like it….this isn’t happening.” Before I knew it…half the jar was gone and I had a Nutella moustache. Everyone told me I can’t just eat it off the spoon, I had to slather it onto some crepes. So we did. I even forced the visitors at the door to try some. Celebration for all!
