I'm supposed to be eating healthy to compensate for the "garbage"* I piled into my system over the weekend, but I'm having a bit of a crappy day and this is how we roll. My body can stand to gain a few pounds, at least that is what the rational part of me tells myself.
Ma and I took a walk to get some fresh air but after a short walk, I was rather tired so we had to stop for a rest and a cool drink. I promised I would get a picture of the banana split frappe, so here it is.
 The girl in the back appears to be enraptured by it. She can't take her eyes of it. But why stop at a drink, when you can eat. The caramel creme brulee cheesecake looked both appetising and intriguing, so Ma and I shared it. I've yet to eat creme brulee so I can't tell you how authentic it tasted. It wasn't overly sweet or rich, nor was the caramel really strong. I would have preferred it richer. It did have a touch of that creme brulee-ish flavour, as if someone might have taken a torch to it. The biscuit base was a little bit like brownie with a slightly bitter taste like coffee. This cheesecake had a texture I've never had before in a cheesecake. It was much thicker than the silky ones I eat. I think I prefer slightly softer ones. I suppose it was a cross between the consistency of silky cheesecake and a baked cheesecake. Overall, not bad but I probably wouldn't eat it again. It didn't knock my socks off.
