Pregnancy Cravings: Moo Bars

Josh does most of our grocery shopping on Sunday afternoons on his way home from church. Our pattern has been:

Amy think about what she wants to eat and makes a list and emails it to Josh.
Josh goes to the story and buys as many items on the list as are available.

Because he knows me, he usually texts me from the store to see if there is "anything else." This is like his nice way of saying, "Last call you crazy pregnant woman."

Before you think, "Wow, Judgey much! Ummm worst husband in the world." You should know that pregnant Amy has had this delightful habit of saying, "Oh honey, Did you happen to think about getting XYZ (insert obscure item that you have never ever bought before)? Of course this happens 3.7 minutes after he walks in the door loaded down with enough food for a small band of hungry teenage boys. (This is completely normal behavior...right?) Hence the texting before he leaves the store.

So this is our text conversation from yesterday:

Josh: Hey honey, is there anything else you want from TJ's?
Amy: Yes! Moo Bars. I need Moo Bars
Josh: Ummmm....Okay, whats a Moo Bar?

If you are from Texas or any surrounding state lucky enough to be visited by the Blue Bell truck, this makes sense to you. If not, you should just pick up and move now because you are missing out. Moo Bars are an AMAZING brain child from Blue Bell. They are summer on a stick. They are the best thing ever. They are worth getting out of bed in the morning. Moo Bars are vanilla ice cream on a stick dipped in a hard chocolate shell. They are glorious. They are like a popsicle...only better. Much better.

When we were growing up, my sister and I would spend a chunk of the summer with our grandparents. They ALWAYS had Moo Bars. ALWAYS. Well, to be fair they had Mini Moos but we were kids and my practical grandmother was thinking of portion control. Every afternoon we would sit on the porch and eat a Moo Bar together. My friends this is happiness. This is summer.

Unfortunately, we live in Boston and Blue Bell does not deliver here. =( (Get it together Blue Bell) Thankfully other people have capitalized on Blue Bell's amazing brilliance and Josh was able to find a reasonable facsimile at TJs.

(This probably goes with out saying...Blue Bell has NEVER heard of me even though I've been to their factory tour several times and am a HUGE fan of their ice cream products!)
