I had an afternoon meeting at Navy Pier today. Afterwards, we stopped off for a sweet treat at HÃ¥agen Dazs. I decided to splurge with a yummy chocolate shake. So I ordered “my usual.” A chocolate shake made with chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce, hot fudge, and if they think it might be too chocolatey already… add even more chocolate. And let me just say, it may have been the best chocolate shake ever!!!

Well, let me just say… the girl who made it was WONDERFUL!!!
She followed the “recipe” and put her own spin on it. Not only did she use the extra dark, extra chocolatey ice cream. But she also pumped in both chocolate sauce AND hot fudge. But the real kicker was that she actually squirted some extra hot fudge into the cup, swirled it around and actually lined the entire cup interior with fudge. And then she poured the milk shake into the fudge-lined cup! SWEET!!!… literally!

I will be going back… and I will be looking for her again!

And just for the record, when I got home after a couple hours at the studio, I went for a quick 3-mile run to help “balance” things out a bit. I’m not sure if it is the cooler weather, or the sugar high, but I had a really nice run. My fastest three miles ever!
