Wow, the chocolate and poppy pastry rolls look pretty awesome.
Salivating to take a serious bite.
But don’t advise for that before taking a drug test.
I heard the poppy seeds may give a false positive. 😉

Crispy Fried Mushroom
These are crispy fried mushrooms.
They look like worms.
And they are sweet and taste out of this world.
From a local vegan restaurant.
It’s one of the best appetizers.
Like candy really. 😉

Cheesecake Heaven
So I never met a piece of cheesecake that I didn’t like.
This was an awesome display of the varieties of it at the Cheesecake Factory.
I remember my mom used to make a pretty darn great cheesecake (and a lot of other good food)!
I still can see the graham cracker crust with the sweet hot creamy cheese filling coming out of the oven.
Unfortunately one of the conundrum of life is that all the good tasting things are so darn fattening and bad for us.
I think though if they can make fake burgers like Beyond that taste like the real thing, then surely at some point they will figure out how to make a skinny cheesecake that tastes good.
There are still some mysteries left in this universe for us to unravel. 😉

Smell The Flowers
Beautiful flowers.
G-d made them for us.
Soft petals.
Magnificent colors.
Fresh sweet smells.
The sound of rustling in the wind.
Absorbing the rays of sunshine.
Drinking the rain water.
Planted in the soil of the earth.
Magical flowers of life, love, and peace.

Beautiful Tutim
Love these strawberries (i.e. Tutim) from Israel.
(Hebrew classes are paying off…)
Large, red, and sweet to eat.
They look so appealing and delicious.
G-d’s beautiful fruits (and vegetables).
What an amazing world He has created for us. 😉

Out of Control Ice Cream
I’m not sure how you control yourself around this Alpaca Ice Cream.
But somehow I managed not to get any…this time.
I promise!
LOL
These are made with fresh hot waffles wrapped around your choice of ice cream and toppings.
As you can see these are pretty big and scrumptious!
Anyway, they have a store in Rockville and I absolutely must stay away from it.
Oh, maybe I just go in once for a taste. 😉

Why We Chase Love
Being a heart alone in this world is very lonely, indeed.
Chasing another heart, so that we can pair together makes two less lonely hearts.
Two hearts that beat as one making beautiful music together.
When the hearts are in harmony, we sway and are uplifted flying away into the heavens.
And when the music is discordant, we are forced to retune and to grow wings that we never even knew we had.
Hearts that complement each other, help us face the questions we often fear to ask ourselves.
When these hearts meet, they touch so gently, and like silk they dance a perfect dance.
What is meaningless alone is all of a sudden meaningful with another.
What is too painful to bear by oneself is manageable when shared between two.
And what is joyful is magnified in sweetness when there is someone else to enjoy it with.
One heart chases another until they embrace that long blissful embrace. 😉

Fav Ice Cream
So this is one of my absolute favorite ice creams.
Soft chocolate swirl ice cream topped in a hard chocolate shell that literally melts in your mouth.
OMG, this is to die for.
This is not something you get every day…it’s a special treat.
They have this ice cream locally in the mall, and sometimes I just go there, literally, just a taste of this.
Usually, I get the small and then share this, but even that is too much really.
It is like a meal in and of itself.
So rich, creamy, cold, and chocolatey flavorful.
Who needs caramel (sitting next to it) when you have chocolate!
Love it, love it, love it.
Yum, yum, yum. 😉

And they make it right there in front of you.
As you mouth waters for it, you almost want to just stick you finger in and snatch a bite.
Oh, the simple, sweet pleasures of life. 😉
