Stuff I Ate: Donut Fries

Alright- not sure if these are still out right now or not... but recently Dunkin Donuts started doing a special menu type thing-and as of the time I'm writing this the only thing that came out anywhere outside of Massachusetts (I think) are the Donut Fries... which is the thing that everyone was most excited about.

Let's talk about Expectations vs. Reality here... I don't know why- but I was expecting these to be kind of crispy and sort of like Churros. They weren't like that at all! They were kind of fluffy... and people are kind of comparing them to a cronut... it's sort of like that and sort of like a soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel... but with more of a dough texture than a pretzel texture... so keep that in mind.

These are delicious! They're a little bit like the Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights- but without the cream... which I think I kind of prefer... I love the Cinnabon Delights after a night at the bar... you get the Cool Ranch Doritoes Locos Taco, you get the Cinnabon Delights- you take a bite of one and then a bite of the other and you leave all your regrets for the morning. These are better for like an every day basis. I used to take the train at Newark Penn Station to go to and from school... I would have loved these for the ride home... or before class started... these would have been perfect. Maybe not all the time if I was trying to be healthy... but who are we kidding... I wasn't! Lol.

I like a lot of things from Dunkin Donuts... these are probably the best things that they have right now... I hope these are permanent menu items- I know they tend to bring things back when they're gone... so hopefully these are still available- but if they aren't definitely wait until they come back... or get the taco bell cinnabon delights... because it's similar... but I prefer those after drinking.

I hope this review was helpful. I think my description of the Cinnabon Delights might be the best things I've ever written... so that's a thing.

Bye!

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
