Drowning My Sorrows In Chocolate Cake

I mean, can you BLAME me for turning to this when I was feeling sad?

But let me back up.

Why was I bummed?

Well, both my kids have returned to college and I miss them. 

Don't get me wrong, I am so happy they are thriving in their dorms. But I still miss them. We had the best time during winter break, so it's always tough to say goodbye. 

I thought, oh, Nothing Bundt Cakes has a new chocolate cake out. I will boost my mood with that. 

(Dr. Now from My 600 Pound Life would be like "Dis Is Not Smart." Sorry, Dr. Now.)

So this is a classic yellow and chocolate cake topped with chocolate frosting and chocolate pearls. It's the first time Nothing Bundt Cakes has used chocolate frosting. 

Oh, and behold what is in the middle:

More crunchy chocolate pearls! 

If you're a chocolate fan, you will love this. If you're feeling sad, you'll be in a state of bliss as you munch on it and your mood will be lifted. I guarantee it.

If you want one, hurry in, as it's only available for a limited time. 

Peanut Butter Burger At Killer Burger

When I first saw Killer Burger had a peanut butter burger I was like, huh? What? 

Then I thought, okay, that could be good. It'll be that sweet and savory combo. And I love sweet and savory. 

Don't worry, if a peanut butter burger grosses you out, there are other options. There is an extensive menu. 

Need a close up?

You'll notice the Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon burger--this is what Tommy and I ordered. It had bacon, peanut butter sauce, Killer House sauce, mayo, grilled onions, and pickles. We ordered a single, but there are also double & triple options. 

Plus there are chicken choices if burgers are not for you.

Sadly, it's Pepsi products, BUT their sweet tea is delicious!

There IS a military discount as well and if you download the app, you can earn free food. 

We ordered up front and the food was brought out about five minutes later. We were excited to get the peanut butter burger.

We also ordered the sharable fries. It came with two sauces, and we opted for the Killer House Sauce (it has a spicy kick to it!) and the Spicy G (kind like a sweetish mustard.) They also had Killer Ranch, Honey Mustard BBQ, and a Bender, which was described as a spicy BBQ. The fries came out fresh, with salt chunks on them, and we gobbled them up.

Oh, and the vibe was cool inside. They had television screens with sports, and I loved the mural. And did we LIKE the peanut butter burger? Yes! It had a nice spice to it, and the peanut butter sauce meshed well with everything. I'd order it again. 

Naturally we'd return to Killer Burger. There are other burgers we want to try. There was one called the Fun Guy with bacon, swiss cheese fondue, mushrooms (I'd pass on those), killer house sauce, mayo, grilled onions, and pickles. I'd have to take a lactaid, but you know, worth it.

On the way out I tried their strawberry lemonade (they also have regular!) and it was delicious and fresh. 

There are many locations, so check to see if you have a Killer Burger near you!

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to hope Natalie has a great first week of college classes! We got her all moved in over the weekend. 

......to be taking Tommy to eat at Killer Burger before he heads back to college. It sounds like a tasty spot. There's a burger with peanut butter on it--sounds odd, but I'm going to try it!  

......to have watched a little bit of the Golden Globes and appreciated the celebs speaking out over the current state of the US. Some were even wearing anti-Ice buttons. I need to get one of those. 

......to be excited that The Pitt has returned to HBO Max. It's such an incredible show--and it's been winning many awards. It's about one full day in the emergency department so you'll see all sorts of people coming in, and learn more about the nurses & doctors treating them. And, fun fact, it's filmed at Warner Brother Studios, and when you go on tour, you might spot actors and crew walking around in scrubs. We did! And we passed trailers for some of the actors of the series and I was thrilled. 

.....to know Ruby is going to miss Tommy when he returns to college. He is her fave. Whenever he goes, she gets extra sassy and leaves turds around the house so I understand how disappointed she is.
