I got a tall mocha light frappuccino from Starbucks this afternoon:
Afterwards, I decided that it would sound good to say that I got this in celebration of the first day of Spring. But I really got it because I wanted a chocolate milkshake and this is at least a little bit healthier. At least I didn’t get one of these:
I always wonder about these people, or those guys who sell the churros. I mean, did she make this cotton candy in her apartment? Does she have a cotton candy machine? Is she going to sue me for posting her picture online? Probably not, I don’t have nearly enough readers. Or enough money, for that matter.
Luckily I don’t like spun sugar and don’t eat things that were made in strangers’ living rooms, so I was not tempted by this at all. Instead, I came home and had an apple with peanut butter:
As you can see, Jack was intrigued. He hasn’t gotten any food off either of our plates in his life, but for some reason he still holds out hope that it might be his lucky day.
hahah your pup is great. my dogs also do not get anything from our plates but continue to try for it. hahah.
Your food looks great. thanks for sharing
Are you kidding, they actually sell cotton candy in the subway? That is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.
Oh, and your Starbucks looks sooo good!
Awwww look at his little nose! Just one bite? Please?
Cara – He’s kind of great. Perhaps more so from afar, though. Thank you for reading!
Karen – I actually don’t see people selling cotton candy on the subway very often, but you do see it on the street a lot. The churros, though, I see all the time. And also people who divide candy up into little baggies and sell it that way. Weird.
Kelly – I know. It’s hard to resist that little nose.
LOL ha… good point about where these ppl make things… another reason why I’d never buy anything like that either
You are too funny. Seriously your sarcasm makes my day. And even though I go to school in Boston, I’m a Pittsburgh girl through and through. (I love the mug you’ve been using : ) btw) Yeah, so seeing all your chocolate covered pretzels has really started my cravings for Sarris candy. I’m actually home for spring break right now and I’m honestly thinking about going to the factory—they literally have giant statutes made of PURE SARRIS CHOCOLATE. The sign says ‘don’t touch’ and the only thing that keeps me from jumping the rope and devouring the chocolate castle is the fact that it’s the same chocolate castle that has been there since I was 5, probably longer, so I think eating it would be kind of gross, thus ruining my obsession with Sarris chocolate. Which actually, in the grand scheme of things, would probably be a good thing.
“Did she make the cotton candy in her apartment?”
OH MAN. On the floor laughing with that one…Your posts CRACK ME UP! I just love them
but seriously, i think the same thing!!!! every time i pass the churro guy at the 14th st. L station, I just wonder where those started. And I wonder about the people who bought them. Also, selling food in that hot, nasty, smelly, musty subway air? Just seems wrong.
Do you work in Rock Center? I work by Times Square!
And I’ve seen cotton candy makers in the store before, they sell them for kids!! They’re like, table top versions of those huge ones.
Lindz – Yeah, it’s weird.
Sarah – Thanks!! I’m glad someone can relate to my obsession. It is so good. Although I like the chocolate covered pretzels better than the rods – more chocolate and less pretzel. Last year for Easter Chris’s mom sent us a huge basket of stuff, including a bucket of chocolate covered pretzels. It was brutal. I forced myself to count out the serving size. Except when I was drunk. Then I just ate them by the handful. Next time I go to Pittsburgh I am so hitting up the factory.
Julz – Thanks! I mean, seriously, where else would she make it? I should have mentioned this, but I’ve actually made cotton candy before (don’t ask) and it is quite a messy process. I feel bad for her family.
Betsy – Oh I know the churro guy at the L – 6th avenue, right?? Not only is it hot and sweaty, but this random dude baked your food and is now touching it with his dirty subway hands. It makes me nervous. Although I think the randomly divided candy/nuts in little sandwich bags might be worse.
Rachel – No, but near 6th and 50th. That’s funny!
