Good, but crumbly

[jebbypal]

Well, I attempted to make homemade granola bars last night and the result is very tasty, but not very conducive to bar formation (crumbly like whoah). I don't know if it would have been different if I hadn't substituted maple syrup for honey, but shrugs. Guess King Arthur may be right about the necessity of sticky bun sugar, but wow, the thought of adding that much butter and sugar to the granola bars seems to defeat any "health" purpose.

So to recap, difficult to eat, but a very very very nice change to Lara bars, which I'm so sick of it's not even funny.

Off to New Orleans today...and it looks like the powers that be decided that we should attend some seminars tonight rather than just rest prior to the conference....So cross your fingers for me that the one that I will likely attend will be full up and I won't be able to :P Also that the crazy crazy southern blast of winter that LA is getting won't screw with our flight too much.

the TSA screeners will likely be very amused about the amount of food I've packed...

Heh. Maybe you made mueslix instead of granola bars. ;)

I've never been to New Orleans. Have fun!

Uggh, will be hard to find time for fun with the schedule we have. I've also decided that either I've been really spoiled by the fancy motels, or this might be the crappiest best western I've ever stayed in. Whoah for not bringing my house shoes. :( Also, sucky that the "nonsmoking" room clearly hasn't always been a nonsmoking room.
