Obsession

Do you ever see something on a menu or at a restaurant and then think about it until you get it?

My boss took us out to lunch today at a new restaurant near the office. Its a modern-comfort-food-too-fancy-to-be-a-diner diner. Does that make sense?

Back to the subject at hand, my new obsession. They had a 21+shake section on their menu. Yes, you read that right, SHAKES WITH BOOZE. I can't remember the name of my obsession shake, all you need to know is it was vanilla ice cream, vanilla vodka, and a twinkie. In a blender. Sounds like something angels would sing about.

I ordered the Kitchen Sink Salad - romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, chickpeas, kidney beans, feta and balsamic vinaigrette. Yum!!! While I was eating that great salad I watched a man devour the twinkie shake. How did I know it was the same shake? It comes garnished with a twinkie. Heart-Attack-City. I know.

I thought about the shake all day, that is until my motivational partner, WW College Girl Pointed the fried banana nuggets at Peanut Butter & Jenny out to me! I can't wait to try these. I love all things banana, and at least the point will be reasonable. Shake? What shake?

Since I ate an early, large lunch, I didn't eat any snacks today. Dinner was a Perdue baked chicken patty on a sandwich thin and some butternut squash fries from Hungry-girl.com. They were great.



There are my new cookbooks in the background. Can't wait to look through them and get some good recipes.

Have a great night!

  2. Wow. Good for freaking you having such an awe-inducing shake experience so close, yet sticking to your guns and eating something healthy.

    But now it seems I have a new obsession, too. I mean seriously, Twinkies and Vodka? OHMYGOD.

  3. Best part - I a not a HUGE twinkie fan. They combo just looked so right. Maybe a weight-watcher-fied twinkie vodka shake will be one of my next recipe challenges.....
