Wawa chocolate frosted doughnut

So soft, the perfect texture. Like biting into a yeasty cloud. The chocolate icing was surprisingly rich. And of course, sprinkles are always welcome.

[unrelated aside: toasted marshmallow Jelly Bellys (Bellies?) taste like Oreo-Os, which I miss. They're total garbage, but I miss them.]

Night: Reese's Klondike bar; creamy and flavorful, but the peanut butter is lacking. There are some veins of peanut butter, but not nearly a satisfying amount. The vanilla ice cream has a light sienna hue, which could either be because of a small amount of peanut butter mixed homogeneously throughout or an artificial coloring agent (annatto?) intended to suggest the presence of peanut butter. Judging from the miserable faintness of peanut butter flavor, I'm hunching towards the latter.

Maybe it's in the chocolate?

 See's raspberry truffle

Obnoxiously, childishly sweet, but has a bit of a sour kick that almost redeems it. The chocolate coating of See's truffles are generally too sweet, even the dark chocolate ones, which defeats the purpose of the chocolate coating. There's supposed to be contrast in the bitterness of the chocolate and the sweetness of the filling; with a sugary chocolate coating it's like putting sugar on caramels instead of salt.

Sunny spring afternoon

Fell asleep to Cluster's Sowiesoso

 

Vanilla milkshake

I got a milkshake from a "nearby" ice cream shop. I put it in the freezer and saved it for later, which I would find was a mistake. My freezer is either set to a lower temperature or configured differently, (perhaps due to its smaller space) than the freezer at my previous place, so after about an hour in the freezer plus 30-45 minutes of thaw time, the milkshake was impossible to drink with a straw. Once thawed, the shake was gritty with ice crystals, though still had a pleasant flavor. Part of the appeal of milkshakes is the straw, which affects the mouthfeel in a way that somehow compliments the mild vanilla taste. Mouthfeel is everything.
