Scribbles About Food: Dove Chocolate Cream and Coconut Cream Eggs (and a random story)

So my mom and I were a little confused about the Dove Chocolate Cream Eggs. My mom didn't know what the filling was, she just thought the Chocolate part was because they are chocolate eggs. She thought the Cream would be coconut... I said probably not coconut because it would have to say its coconut for allergy reasons.

So she was disappointed when she bit into it and it was just a chocolate cream egg. And then she realized "Ohhh Chocolate Cream Eggs." And it took me until just now to realize it practically... lol. I'm smart but I've been slow with things lately:

 Side Story: I saw the Oscars and when Brie Larson thanked her boyfriend Alex Greenwald, I was like "that name sounds familiar." And then I read an article about how you knew Alex Greenwald. It mentioned that he was in the movie Donnie Darko as the guy that bullied Donnie Darko and I was like "Ohhh the guy from Phantom Planet was in that movie as the guy that bullied Donnie Darko. They must have been in it together." And then it said "Alex Greenwald was also in the band Phantom Planet." And it still took me a second to decipher that he was the only bully and that they were all the same person... it was quite the brain fart... which doesn't often happen to me. Lol.

Anyway... back to the review. I actually really like the Chocolate Cream Eggs! Dove used to have truffle easter eggs that had a very creamy chocolate center, and then they reduced the size of them... didn't reduce the price... and then they just stopped making them all together... but these are really similar to those. And they're a little creamier so its extra good in my opinion... and its really chocolatey, melts in your mouth... totally delicious definitely recommend these. Wayyy better than Cool Ranch Doritos.

Dove Chocolate is really nice and creamy to begin with... so with the cream center in the eggs its especially good!

And the Coconut Cream Eggs are just as good too! The coconut isn't overwhelmingly coconuty, but you can taste it. Its also ground in there pretty finely... so its not like you're getting too much coconut in one bite. I know no one feels neutral about coconut, you either love it or you hate it. I love it and I think most people I know love it... but lots of people hate it and thats fine. Definitely pass on these if you hate them... but if you like coconut I think you'll like it a lot. The Center is super super nice and creamy and the coconut is subtle, but still quite coconutty and delicious. Also better than Cool Ranch Doritos.

So yes... these are some of the best easter candy you can buy... I love them. Really yummy and good! Total win!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
