My children lost their ever loving minds today. I don’t fully grasp the meaning of the phrase “ever loving mind,” but it didn’t stop me from repeatedly saying to these two miniature heathens who live under my roof, “HAVE YOU TWO LOST YOUR EVER LOVING MINDS?????”
I fully blame those damn kids of mine for this post and why I’m going to talk about Nutella for the second time in less than a week.
Last week, when I first wrote about Nutella, Moriah from Please Pass the Salt left a very intriguing comment. She left one word. ”Strawberries.” That’s all it said. This one word seemed significant so I ran to the store right away (well, as right away as one can when waiting to grocery shop blissfully alone) and bought strawberries. Why it hadn’t occured to me before to eat Nutella with strawberries, I have no idea. Strawberries with Nutella definitely sounded far better than Nutella with toast.
Did you know, that Nutella is from CANADA??? All this time I thought it was from Italy. The more you know!
Also did you know that Nutella is not necessarily found on the International foods aisle? It is from a TOTALLY EXOTIC foreign country, yet I found it swapping “ehs” and “aboots” with the peanut butter and jelly.
Also ALSO did you know that Nutella with strawberries, fed to you by your significant other after a rotten day, tastes especially delicious?
oh, come now, my American friend.
Everyone knows that good Canadians pronounce it “a-boat” not “a-boot)
Hahahahah!
also? I have never had nutella!
That strawberry looks ten times more delicious when being fed to you like that
nice to be loved!
I TOLD YOU SO!!!
I thought Nutella was a European thing… very popular in Europe, anyway.
Strawberries! *slapping forehead*

Anything fed to you by your significant other after a lousy day is GOOOOOOOOOOD. But I get your point about strawberries and Nutella. I’m going to have to buy strawberries tomorrow.
The Target by my house sells it, too. (Cleveland is so refined!)

I love Nutella! I love it so much that I buy it and keep it all to myself. My girls have never even tried it – I would like to keep it that way. More for me! And, Yeah for Canada!

I love Nutella. It is from Italy by the way, I suspect you just had some that is made in Canada. They make it in factories all over the world.

Aldi sells a European version of Nutella, I discovered it when I was pregnant with Kaitlyn. It is SO GOOD spread on graham crackers!

Love it! My kids love nutella. Dh loves it with marshmallow fluff on graham crackers he calls it a fake s’more.
Nutella is my personal crack. I cannot have a container in the house without eating the entire thing within 24 hours. I believe it was created in Italy but the family company sold it to Cadbury or some larger confectioner…
But my REAL news is this: Strawberries…sure. I have “friends” who discovered it is great fun in the bedroom as well. As in, grab the whipped cream and make yourself a sundae. If you know what I mean. Wink wink.

In the bedroom, eh… Thanks, Must Be Motherhood. And I must thank you, Jennifer, for refreshing my serious addiction to Nutella. Going to ShopRite now.
Nice. I *totes* thought it was Italian, too! ;O
Strawberries. Must acquire.
.-= Al_Pal´s last blog ..Sensitivity: I have it. =-.
I didn’t get the nutella craze when I tried it on toast and left it in my cupboard for a couple of months, but one night when I was pregnant I found it again and thought there must be more to this stuff. I tried it smeared on a banana. Works for me!
I have it on good authority (um, not my own, of course) that Nutella is cheapest at Wal-Mart. And, oh, is it so worth braving Wal-Mart for!
.-= Stacia´s last blog ..Living in Circles =-.
Yeah, Nutella!! It’s one of the few cool foods from my (Canadian) childhood that is avalable here in Poland. Sadly, my 3-year-old hates it. HATES it. So, more for me
I have NEVER had Nutella – but may have to give it a whirl!!!! Love your blog – this is my first time visiting
Good stuff on here!
ah… so that talk was a good thing, despite the toothpaste interference

Now take the strawberries and Nutella, fold it in a crepe and serve it with a scoop of ice cream! HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You gotta try them with banana chips. Totally indulgent, best PMS food ever.

Oops, I meant IT. Try IT with banana chips. The Nutella.
Long day.

Gavin still asks about the CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER like we had in Canada when we lived there. I am such a mean mom and make him eat real peanut butter now.

Here I thought you’re supposed to eat Nutella straight from the jar. Haha. Give me a jar of Nutella and a spoon and I’ll be a happy man. Well, until I finish the whole thing. I then head to the grocery to buy more. Strawberry and Nutella sounds like a great combination though.
