Ahh, the elusive Egg McMuffin. Salty and tasty. I'll never understand why they don't serve it all day... is it to make me want them more? BECAUSE IT'S WORKING.
The ham, the cheese (which, yes, I lick off the wrapper) the egg. The muffin. No complaints here. Except at 10:30.
You've gotta get the combo. The hashbrown sets off the McMuffin-ness. Crispy, salty, hot and soft in the middle. I like the orange juice, too. Especially if it's in the Grimace cup.

Andy's Frozen Custard
Apparently, I have a bit of a sweet tooth at the moment.
One of the things I miss most about Columbia, MO (aside from college of course) is the prevalence of ice cream and frozen custard shops. Andy's and Sparky's being my faves.
Andy's frozen custard will make you any combination of stuff on their menu or you can choose from their list of concoctions. I've never gone wrong with either option.
Call me 'stuck in my ways' but I always battle it out between the chocolate custard and cookie dough concrete and the chocolate custard with raspberries concrete. What can I say? I just don't like to mess with success.

Braum's
It's been awhile! I apologize to anyone who reads my blog regularly--I've been eating home-cooked meals. So really, no, I'm not sorry.
My grandfather, may he rest in peace, loved Braum's. I'm not sure if he really liked the food, or he went there because there always seems to be babies there. But then again he really liked anything his wife didn't cook (she was the worst cook I have ever known. Known for using the phrase, "it's just a little brown" followed by the sound 'scrape, scrape, scrape'.).
But I digress. Braum's always smells like they have great hamburgers, but I always go for the dairy stuff. They have all sorts of ice creams that rival Blue Bell (to be discussed in another post) and melt in your mouth with a rich creaminess you can only get from a good bowl if fresh ice cream.
You can also buy all that in tubs in the store part of your favorite Braum's.
But the chocolate milk. FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC. You can't make chocolate milk this good. It's rich and delicious and in no way watery. When you buy a half gallon, you'll have to shake it up so it's the right consistency and flavor (not all preservative-y like the store bought kind, with which I'm also obsessed).
So next time you're down South, or on your way home from work, get some. Because seriously, it's almost as awesome as I am.
