My Affair With Chobani

by Stacie on February 1, 2013

I thought it was just a one time thing, Chobani sending me a free case of creamy deliciousness after reading my comment on Holly’s blog.

So imagine my surprise when another case of Chobani goodness arrived at my doorstep today.

New flavors, banana and pear! And a really cool spoon, which I didn’t get last time. Score! I ate a banana yogurt and it was so good I had a TBO.* Thanks Chobani! I’m up for continuing this love affair indefinitely.

The timing of this delivery couldn’t have been better, since it was definitely a multi-yogurt day. I’ve had a rough 24 hours. Yesterday, Buster found another disembodied deer leg in the woods and carried it on our entire 3 mile hike, stopping to gnaw on it whenever he pleased. Ew. I had to wrestle this fleshy, hoofy, cartilagy thing away from him after he jumped in the car because he sure as hell wasn’t coming anywhere near me before it was time to go home. Ew. Then, I had to clean up the family room floor when he hacked up half a deer hoof and some foamy white I-don’t-want-to-know stuff six hours later. Ew. Dogs are gross.

As if that weren’t enough, I updated my iPhone operating system and lost a bunch of stuff, deleted by technology (or rather my lack thereof) and had to spend all morning at the Genius Bar. I couldn’t get anything back, of course, and now have to go through a bunch of time consuming steps to make sure that never happens again. At the risk of making myself look like a complete idiot, I may blog about that later. Stay tuned.

For now, I’m going to eat another yogurt.

Score!! Delicious yogurt!!! That’s so cool!!

(and the deer hoof…ugh. I might need some yogurt to settle my stomach after reading about the foam….) :)

Yes, it was the best thing that happened all day! (The yogurt, not the deer hoof)

Oh, man, I’m jealous! I love Chobani. And banana and pear! Are those new flavors? I would love both of them, I’m sure, especially the banana. I will have to check it out at the store tomorrow.

God, dogs are disgusting, aren’t they? Kodi loves to roll in dead things. He is such a nit picky dog otherwise, but the worst, most distusting smell ever? He’s all over it. But it is cute that Buster carries the hoof along with you the entire walk :)

Yes, new flavors! Maybe they will read your comment and send you a case ;)

I’d rather not see that kind of cuteness out of Buster!

How do I score some free Chobani??? Banana and pear sound delicious! I’ve had Fage, Greek Gods, and Wallaby, but I’d sure like to expand my Greek yogurt palate. Do you hear me Chobani???

Hi, Stacie! I took your advice and created a page for that letters challenge. :)

Chobani’s my favorite! The new flavors are so good too. If they don’t pick up your comment, you could try tweeting them ;)

Love Chobani! Love not having a pet too! :)

I’m sure at some point my kids will force us to seriously consider getting one, but I’m not going to think about that right now. . . just like I’m not going to think about that cartilagy (great word!) deer leg right now either. . .

Good plan. That type of grossness really depends on the dog and if you let them run around off-leash. You can avoid deer leg issues if you don’t let them run free in the woods!

Sounds like Buster was having TBO with that gamey deer. I need to eat more yogurt. I go in phases. But the pear flavor intrigues me. Hm..

Reply

Stacie February 2, 2013 at 3:57 pm

He was. Ew! The pear and banana are both really good.

Oh BUSTER!!!!!!!! EWWWWW. No ewww for the yogurt though. Greek yogurt is the best, as is wine. :) Get the corkscrew out Stacie, sounds like you need it.

Stacie February 2, 2013 at 3:57 pm

Oh, I did break out the wine all right :)

hooray for freebies!! enjoy the yogurts, stacie!
ewwwww on the buster/deer leg incidents and awwww (sympathy) for losing the phone data. my computer has been having ornery moments lately and i took it in…absolutely nothing wrong with it. tech glitches are so anxiety-inducing, though, eh?
you need some wine moments this weekend, my friend!

Stacie February 2, 2013 at 3:58 pm

I’ll be backing everything up from now on ;)

Wine is usually on the agenda on the weekends!

Deer hoof throw-up and lost cell phone data? Not even a free box of yogurt could have saved that day for me, I would have gone straight to the chocolate… or wine… or both. Hope the weekend is way better than that day! =)

Stacie February 2, 2013 at 3:59 pm

I know. So far so good on the weekend.

I love Chobani! My go-to treat is the pineapple one. The new flavors sound delicious! And you certainly deserved a nice treat or two after your walk experience…

Reply

Stacie February 2, 2013 at 3:59 pm

I like the pineapple too. And, plain vanilla – the Chobani vanilla is super-smooth.

What a nice little unexpected gift…wish someone would leave a shipment of chocolate on my doorstep!!

Have a great weekend Stacie!

Stacie February 2, 2013 at 3:59 pm

Chocolate would have been nice too!

So, how many comments on food blogs do I need to make before I might get lucky enough to be sent something for free? :P
Icky business with the deer leg, but nice alliteration with “hack up half a deer hoof.” Took my mind off the image of deer part barf for a second

How are you so lucky to get all that Chobani? No, Really, how?!?

Dana February 3, 2013 at 9:16 am

I think I need to try that Chobani!

Debbie February 3, 2013 at 10:05 am

Hey Chobani – I want a case of free yogurt too! But not the banana type – I’m not a big banana flavor type of gal.
Stacy – the deer leg story was nasty, as was the idea of the dog barfing that up in your house. Yet another story for me to tell the kids when the beg for a dog. Fortunately fish don’t make that big a mess, but they do sometimes eat each other. It’s a fish-eat-fish world I guess (along with a dog-eat-deer-leg kind of world). Hope you enjoy your Superbowl while looking for your family in the stands.

Ugh…as if the first deer leg wasn’t bad enough…but thanks for not taking pictures this time! And poor Buster, he’s had some traumas lately!
Pear sounds really good. I’ll have to look out for it.

Gotta find the banana flavor!! Sounds yummy!!!!

Teresa @ www.fitinwoodbine.com February 3, 2013 at 2:45 pm

Unless Chobani wants to send me a free case too! LOL

Ummmmmm…..ew is right! *gagging* I used to “think” I was somewhat computer literate. Not any more. :(

I love the pear flavor! The banana surprised me, too! I thought I wouldn’t like it, but it’s pretty dang good! I can’t wait to make some pancakes with it.
