Roasted Marshmallow Milkshake From The Best Thing I Ever Ate

4 Cherries
A Facebook friend alerted me to the Toasted Marshmallow Shake at Stand after watching it on Best Thing I Ever Ate. I knew I had to track this shake down on my NYC adventures! I love this shake because while dauntingly thick at first (the straw nearly has the circumference of a dime!), it’s made with gelato, a lighter ingredient than ice-cream.  Additionally, the narrow glass makes for a reasonable portion size, so even after downing a whole shake, you don’t feel like you have a bowling ball in your stomach for hours on end (like most shakes make me feel!).

The shake at Stand has a uniquely campfire, marshmallow taste, and that’s because they blend real roasted marshmallows in with the vanilla gelato.  My only critique is, I’m not sure I’d choose the flavor Roasted Marshmallow as my top choice of shake! Marshmallows are rather sweet, and thus add an extra surge of sugar to an already balanced treat. Next time, I’ll have to just try the plain vanilla or chocolate shake.~

Late Night Eating at Pinches Tacos and McDonalds

Hi! It’s my first late night blog…Tonight I ended up at Pinches Tacos, which, I have to say, for 8 years now I’ve thought was “Pinks Tacos” based on the fact that the edifice is pink. Yeah, I thought it was kinda vulgar too.. but hey, it’s Hollywood, you never know..!  Lo thus, it’s PINCHES taco. What the heck is a PINCHES Taco??

Anyway, I got cheese fajitas with guacamole and flan.  MMmmmm, the flan was pretty fantastic-actually.  While it had a rich and slightly eggy flavor the consistency was still seamlessly smooth.  The caramel at the bottom was burnt and bitter, lending it a gourmet twist on a normally sugary sweet touch. My friend really appreciated this exotic turn, where as I just kept eating it with one eyebrow raised, wondering if I loved or not.  Over all I give Pinch Taco’s Flans a solid 4 cherries!

Yay, late-night me with a Mexican Flag and Flan.. I’m good to go

Hmmm, I ate every last lick. Clean plate and bowl club! WIll I regret this tomorrow?

Then our designated driver (very important to have one of those!), insisted on doing a quick McD’s drive-through for some coffee. Well, excuse me, but your Dessert Darling is NOT about to go through McDonalds and not get a milkshake!  I told my friend to surprise me with the flavor. The result was an artificially sweet strawberry milkshake that kindled fond memories of scratch and sniff stickers and strawberry cotton candy.  Made with real strawberries this was not. But then again, as much as I’m about eating “real food” (and I am), I kinda dug that I didn’t have real tart berries souring up the batch.  Over all, it was a tasty, but perfectly average shake.  2.5 cherries.

Perhaps I’ll tidy this blog entry up in the morning… but for now, I’m having jolly time late night blogging…OOoh, naughty me.

Vanilla Milkshake from In-N-Out

Today my fiance and I drove home from a gorgeous wedding in Palm Dessert and made a crucial In-N-Out stop.  Now, I know In-N-Out is essentially the Holy Grail of fast food chains.  I really do appreciate their fresh ingredients, simple menu, and commitment to quality food on the go.  That said, their milkshake did not blow me away.

Now, the difference between a milkshake from one fast food joint to another's is minimal.  They're all pretty delicious.  In-N-Out's shake gets cherries docked for it's consistency though.  It was too thick to suck up through a straw, so I ended up inhaling unnecessarily big of gulps through the side. Which left me feeling like I had a brick in my stomach. Which annoyed me, because I never really felt like it was so heavenly delicious that I needed to inhale the whole thing. So bleh.  Three cherries for In-N-Out's vanilla shake.
