Oh, the Crave
I have been having the crave/ings this week. Seriously. Oh, man, I want and I have to have and I want it now now NOW crave.

I blame the weather, for woe, it has been the cool. Not necessarily, THE COLD, but colder and forget the walking for I don't like the FREEZE.

So, the weather, the cool, and the crave. Milkshake. I've wanted a milkshake earlier this week. Not necessarily any particular flavor, but a true ICE CREAM milkshake. And, by that, I mean one made not with that icy custard, soft serve pretend ice cream. I want a shake made with hand-dipped. The kind that when you take a sip, you get those creamy clumps on the roof of your mouth and you know you are being decadent. Not many place serve hand-dipped shakes. Maybe Hardee's if you're somewhere near a Hardee's.

I talked myself out of the milkshake.

I did this while devouring grapes.

Last night, I dreamt of baking a chocolate cake. Today, it has been chocolate cake I am craving. I want one so dark in color, it is almost black. Either chocolate or white icing. And, not a Bundt cake, which is what the grocery stores carry now, usually made with soda pop. I want a double layer, double-iced real chocolate cake. Okay, I'd settle for full-sized, FRESH cupcakes. And, I'd even bake it myself, if I had the box mix or the right ingredients. Alas, not.

I am trying to talk myself out of it with a light yogurt?

And, I have to confess, this week, I craved a book and there was no choice but to satisfy that craving.

Yes, decadent. The pleasure. From that book. MMMmmmm.
