The return of the lard

I destined to have some kind of heart disease in the future. My intake of unhealthy foods is obscene, and what's worse is I CANNOT CONTROL MYSELF!!!!

When I'm working I kinda let myself go. And by "let myself go", I mean I am way off the lease an pretty much eating everything in sight. This is unfortunate for people who sit on my flour because nowadays the cookie jar is very empty (when you get to work early, you have more choice). I justify all this eating by telling myself that thinking hard and solving problems will also burn many calories.

Hardihar. How ignorant I am.

ANYWAY, today the biffel and I hit up sharkies for some Thai food. We over ordered and I think we both fel t a bit sick by the end.

Can't remember if I blogged about my last trip to Holy Basil, but even if I did, I have to again RAVE about how EPICALLY DELICIOUS the fried icecream is.

Presentation wise, it didn't look as good as it did in the opening week (when I went last time).

But the filo pastry wrapped-icecream that's lightly fried smells and tastes of nothing but buttery goodness. As for the ice cream, it's none of the no-frills vanilla shit (sorry, I feel really strongly about bad vanilla ice cream- how can something so simple and delicious be made to taste like no frills ice cream... HOW?!), it's nothing but creamy goodness.

My favourite bit is defos the buttery (but flaky) pastry, but the roasted/sweet muesli/granola is also totes amaze.

Holy, this dessert rates as one of my faves.

So yeah, you guys know how I feel about desserts. Definitely pay Holy Basil a visit if you haven't. I've heard there isn't too much difference between the one in Canley and the one at sharkies. If you've been to both, let me know!!

I'll blog about the other food another day, they don't compare and I felt this ice cream deserved its own post.

Was gonna blog about this on the bus tomorrow, but couldn't sleep because I could smell butterrrrr.

Ps is it time I got new frames? I'm quite attached to my current ones and they're still in tip top shape... But I kind of want to branch into the giant ass lens/borderline fob kind. I think it... kinda suits me HAHAHA
