Last weekend I found myself preparing to make a pasta recipe in the crock pot. And I was going to use some yogurt in the recipe.

But I’d already been to the grocery store, where I hadn’t been able to bring myself to buy plain yogurt when I *knew* I had vanilla yogurt sitting in the fridge already.

So, yeah. I used vanilla yogurt in place of plain. If you ever have a similar urge, and you tell yourself, ‘With all those other ingredients, I probably won’t even be able to taste the difference!’ Not so much, it turns out.

It wasn’t inedible, it was just sort of weird. I mean, there were carrots, and artichoke hearts, and pasta, and cheese, and then sometimes I’d take a bite and think ‘is that vanilla?’

Life lessons learned: vanilla is a stronger flavor than I thought!
