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!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
