Things that made the week that much yummier

After an amazing weekend with some of the best people in the world, my body had to recover from extreme dancing, extreme taiko-ing, and extreme extreming. I got certain comfort foods that kept me rowing through the muddy water that is post-midterm, pre-finals college. [You may find a unifying theme!]

Whenever I felt a little groggy, I had Starbucks's chocolate croissant!Pain au chocolat that's just so reliably good!

Cheeseboard's Chocolate Thing! I got it when Tom and I stopped by on Wednesday afternoon for some slices (four-cheese, onion, herb).
It had what I like to call "chocolate turds" folded into it. I didn't get around to eating them because they were too bitter. The bread part, however, was satisfyingly chewy and moist. =)
On Thursday, I had Starbucks's whole wheat bun with a tall Peppermint Mocha Twist. They really go all out with the peppermint in their holiday mocha- not bad, but when the mocha gets cold, it's more difficult to consume. I got the bun because it looked pretty and shiny (the things that win me over...). Again, just enough of the chew/moisture factor that would lead me to get it again.
Finally, for an end-of-the-week treat, I got my usual half peanut butter and half chocolate chip gelato from the cafe by my work. I say "usual" because I always get this combination whenever I'm in the mood for gelato [mood = perpetual, undying need].
I wasn't super pleased with today's outcome, though. Their peanut butter batch was kinda off? Unsure. BUT, I am proud of this photo! I hardly ever take anything this detailed with my dinky camera... I did get a few stares for stopping on the sidewalk and snapping shots of this cup of yummy.

AND NOW, the weekend!
