Fast Food Frenzy 3 (Steak and Shake!), Randomness & Rockin' Redness

I'm a little pissed to be honest, a little irritated with myself and definitely feeling the uncomfortable sting of regret. Why? Because. I used to allow myself to go to places like Steak and Shake every now and then and indulge in something there and then I started to abstain strictly from any junk-food and fast-food period. Well... My recent run in with the Pina Colada on my Birthday night made me realize, sometimes I've got to let myself have something even if it is really bad for me, that Pina Colada was amazing and it was compounded by the fact that I knew it was so bad but I just stopped caring for that moment.

I never eat or drink anything bad and I work out like a mad-woman to the point that most people that hear my regiment which is that I wake up every morning, cycle for an hour at about 24MPH, and then do 260 suspended situps, and my day followed by perhaps training if it's a 'training night' because I keep a schedule say that I'm insane. I definitely don't think I'm insane, I think I'm pissed at myself. You know why? Because my strict-ass avoidance of all sugars and crap-food has quite possibly cost me the chance to try something awesome. That awesome thing?

Evidently for the month of December and the Holiday Season Steak and Shake as they often do, creating thematic milk-shakes has forged one particular beauty of a milk-shake that I just am dying to try and I think is no longer made because.. Well, it's not December anymore and the Holidays are over..

All of them look delicious, I'd love to try each. Frankly I usually hate mint, I mean HAAATE with a fucking passion but even that one looks good. The Egg Nog in spite of everything kind of scares me. You know I say I curse myself for abstaining so strictly but at the same time there is a limit or there should be.. Egg Nog tends to be rather... Uh.... Viciously unhealthy to begin with.. Add that into the mix for a milk-shake especially from a fast-food chain? Yeah.. I don't know and don't think that I could justify that not even if I loved Egg Nog which I guess it helps that I really don't. No, the shake I'm looking at that you should have known from the beginning was is the White Chocolate Milk Shake.

Are you kidding me?! You're seriously shitting me, Steak and Shake you made a White Chocolate Milk Shake!?! By all that is good and true in the world, you're Gods! It's even got colourful little sprinkles on top which are probably completely asinine and lend nothing what so ever to the shake but they're pretty and when you're goddamn simple as shit as I am that tends to be a big draw.. Really all you need do to keep me occupied if I'm bored is to get some yarn and start danging it in my face and draping/dragging it over me.. Long as that's happening, I'll have something to focus my attention on; oh focused it would be too.

You unholy bastards, why make something so wonderful? I love White Chocolate to begin with beyond words but to add it to a Milk Shake of all things. Fuuuuck. I need one so badly now! Just think about it! Smooth, cold, creamy, and frothy Milk with Ice Cream blended in and a helping of decadent, delicious, and divine White Chocolate all in the same drink? Oh god.. My pants.. It's not just this either, they've done this before. I'll cite an earlier 'special release' Milk Shake they no longer run but I desperately wanted to try from just before these;

Both look amazing but the one I reaaaally wanted? The Key Lime. If that fucker tastes anything remotely like actual Key Lime Pie I'd be in Heaven and probably sporting the worlds worst stomach-ache.. And there in lies one of the problems.. It's not just the calories I avoid with these, my stomach is very temperamental and Steak and Shake does not offer single-serving sizes, they offer even in their small/regular enough Milk Shake to plug you full of goddamn sugar for the next week and a half. I can't handle that, I can't drink that much without getting dog-sick... That's a problem, I'm a Big Cat.. Though at the same time they don't offer smalls/regulars in sizes that James is happy with so sharing a small or regular isn't a choice and I don't want to get a normal size because their normal size is enough Milk Shake to kill a cow.

Release something that everyone can agree upon, damn it! It doesn't have to be fuck you big or not worth it small, guys. It can be in between and just right. That or I need to find someone willing to share a small with me.. They'd be like my best buddy evar.

You know also out of all the weirdness that Steak and Shake makes into Milk Shakes this is one that was released in the summer that got me big time and I also wanted to try because it's strangely appetizing sounding, it seems like this would actually work well. Kool-Aid Milk Shake, really? Why haven't I ever thought of this? But this is a good idea and seems like it'd be damned tasty, it's just.. So fucking strange..

Outside of those abnormal creations there is this gauntlet of Specialty Milk Shakes that are absolutely amazing - I've had or rather tried the banana (Both up and down; that was the last one I had because it was too big and made me sick.) and the banana is A-flippin-MAZING with a thick Ice-Cream, chunks of banana, and just a general frostiness that works and is great and I find the rest of them so inviting I could just jump right in. Gods they look good. Turtles, Butter Peacan, and Chocolate Covered Strawberry!? Are you kidding me!? That's insanity!

Know what though? We're not done yet. No, this is a post devoted to junk-food and sweetness. This is a post devoted to dessert of the delicious variety and I, your not so average Big Cat received this Holiday season something epic and uncommonly delicious.

What was this gift in question? Where did it come from? And why am I so enthusiastic about it?

Weeeell...

1. It was a pie. Pie is awesome.

2. It came from James' Family.

3. Because there are few things in this world I love as much as Coconut, Banana, and Peanut Butter - One such rarity that is especially rare because it's only available seasonally is Pumpkin. Pumpkin Spice, Cookies, Cakes, flavours of all type, and especially. Oh my god. Pumpkin Pie.

I don't know if it's freshly made from scratch, I'm not sure who in James' family made it or what they used, whether it was boxed mix, from a can, or fresh.. Though I suspect it wasn't fresh, I think if it were fresh I'd probably have died on spot tasting it for the first time.. It's probably from a can but that doesn't mean it's bad, it's goddamn delicious and like I said if it were fresh it'd be so much better and insanely good I scarcely imagine I'd be able to deal with it.

Yes it's slightly burnt on the outside of the crust but still.. This was a whole pie I received and I've been slowly eating on it for quite some time, it's nearly flawless. Creamy, soft, and whipped sweetened Pumpkin, a thick and slightly moistened crust (moistened by the Pumpkin), and just.. Yes.. Yes! ...I could really get inappropriate and freaky with this pie. Whoever made it fucking rocked it out and represented, I mean holy shit. Good stuff.

PS: I reiterate; someone willing to share a small Milk Shake with me instead of a regular or large move here now so we can hang out and try Milk Shakes without getting the milky pukes! - I would adore someone who would have a small Milk Shake with me from time to time instead of insisting on more!

Dinner:

Amakute supaishina reddo men (Sweet and Spicy Red Noodles) - This is a chicken dish, a chicken dish that again came out perfect and flawless as could be. Everything worked together and in the end it was all utter win on a plate.

Consisting of noodles, chicken, mushrooms, and a seaweed red sweet and spicy sauce (home made) I can say it was a simple but amazing dish; James wolfed it down of course and I'm quite happy because although I would have been pleased with it on my own James stated that it was a very good dish - That it was 'really really good'.

The sides were a cheese Anpan (Sweet Roll) and a cheesy satsumaimomasshu (Sweet Potato Mash) - Nicely balanced and delicious. Just perfect on all fronts.
