Like Water for Milkshakes

I'll just get right down to it; I've tried a lot of milkshakes in my day and the one that tops them all is (drum-roll please):


The OREO COOKIE MILKSHAKE from MEL'S DINER


It's fabulous.  It's the perfect, rich and creamy blend of vanilla soft serve ice cream and smushed (not a word, I know, but it is the exact word I need!) up Oreo cookie bits with a full Oreo cookie at the bottom and whipped cream and a cherry on top.  Ahh, sweet dairy bliss.  And at most Mel's locations, you can get one anytime you have an inkling, day or night! Heaven for a night-owl like me!  Plus, for any tourists out there, the Mel's Diner on Hollywood and Highland (or the one on Sunset Blvd.) is a must-see Hollywood landmark destination!

On another note, I found my new favorite bottled water: 

Boxed Water is Better

It's refreshing, portable and philanthropic.  Let's hear a big "YAY!!" for using less plastic!!

And on a completely other note, have you read Like Water for Chocolate? (hint: it inspired my title ;-D ) If you haven't, it should go on your reading list.  And while I'm at it, let's all try to go and use the public libraries more often, they are such a wonderful resource!  

Eat well and read well!
