Sarah and I taste-tested these two bars: Peanut Butter Blisscrisp JamFrakas and Cranberry Almond Kardea bar.
Jamfrakas on top, Kardea on bottom.
PB Blisscrisp JamFrakas:

We both thought it smelled good but tasted really bad. They're still spot-on with the texture, but as Sarah said, there's a "sour and bitter" aftertaste that's pretty unsavory.
Kardea Cranberry Almond:

It smells just like dessert! We both identified an almond paste-y taste that made the bar taste like cranberry marzipan. Even though it looks a little "questionable" (the shininess is a little off-putting), the bar is delicious and the texture is fab. I hope these are sold in stores soon!
On to dinner!
Tomato-eggplant soup with coconut and cilantro:
A skinny sliver of spinach pine nut pizza:
Salad: spinach, onion, peas, lentils, corn, carrots, cabbage, tofu w/ mango teriyaki sauce; I made a dressing out of oil, vinegar and yellow mustard.
Becky with my banana caramel chocolate chip cake dessert:
Grapefruit snacky a little later...
Starbucks with Sarah! (Maybe I should start calling her 'S,' although my name doesn't start with a 'B' so it's not quite as cool...) Tall skim hazelnut signature hot chocolate.
Bedtime! I'm off to the doctor for my final x-ray (I hope) tomorrow morning.... I hope it goes well!

I agree with the JamFrakas review - there is one funky aftertaste to it.
