Before I begin, YES, I realize that my latest posts seem to be food-related. However, at least I am posting and it is all for the good of the people. And people, this is good.
Last week, my friend Amber treated me to a "new mommy" trip to Menchie's Frozen Yogurt (our location is on Sawmill Rd, almost to Powell, but there are locations all around the country. I had heard that it was "SO GOOD", but had no idea. Allow me to explain the magical intersection of delicious flavors+cheery decor+genius setup:
I walk in, instantly greeted by my favorite color combination of lime green and fuschia. I see the back wall, gleaming with stainless steel machines of 12 glorious yogurt flavors. Then Amber tells me, "There are sample cups so you can try as many as you want". Oh. My. God. I try a few, but the world stops when I see "Peanut Butter" and "Hershey Kiss Chocolate" at the same machine. Do you know what this means? I can swirl them. And I do. Then I add Praline Delight (which I regret, it had no flavor) and top it off with banana. Then came the best part. I continue down the Miracle Mile to the toppings bar. I don't know how they keep it so clean and neat but I noticed and appreciated it. While Amber decorated her "pretty" yogurt with fresh, bright mangoes and other fruits, I went straight to the dark side for this: cookie dough pieces, Oreos, cheesecake bites, poundcake bites, and hot fudge. Oh yes, and brownie pieces. Finally, I was satisfied and we were ready to pay. Now, you pay by weight at Menchie's. So if you are "eating for two" like me, this is dangerous. But well worth it. I devoured my concoction and cannot wait to go back-- tomorrow.
