Yes, I know there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of other frozen desserts in the world. Many of these other desserts are more decadent I’m sure, but the pure minty simplicity of a shamrock shake makes it my favorite of all time. To me, drinking a shamrock shake is like having an orgasm in your mouth, a high that only leaves you wanting more.
I think my love for the shamrock goodness stems back from when I was pregnant. My husband and I made several trips to the doctor’s office leading up to my daughter’s delivery and each trip was followed by a stop at McDonald’s. In fact, when my doctor finally decided she was going to induce me and sent me from her office to the hospital, my husband and I stopped for a shake on the way. (In case you were wondering, he gained almost as much weight as I did that last few weeks.) I suppose it’s no surprise our daughter was born on St. Patrick’s Day.At any rate, I’m feeling a late night McDonald’s run coming on…
Oh, Laura ... woe is me, I share your Shamrock Shake passion! I say "woe is me" because those are always the weeks when I'm trying to lose a few, realizing the summer swimsuit season is approaching. I was pretty good this year, but I did cave once!
