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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
