Hi! It's my first late night blog...Tonight I ended up at Pinches Tacos, which, I have to say, for 8 years now I've thought was "Pinks Tacos" based on the fact that the edifice is pink. Yeah, I thought it was kinda vulgar too.. but hey, it's Hollywood, you never know..! Lo thus, it's PINCHES taco. What the heck is a PINCHES Taco??
Anyway, I got cheese fajitas with guacamole and flan. MMmmmm, the flan was pretty fantastic-actually. While it had a rich and slightly eggy flavor the consistency was still seamlessly smooth. The caramel at the bottom was burnt and bitter, lending it a gourmet twist on a normally sugary sweet touch. My friend really appreciated this exotic turn, where as I just kept eating it with one eyebrow raised, wondering if I loved or not. Over all I give Pinch Taco's Flans a solid 4 cherries!
Yay, late-night me with a Mexican Flag and Flan.. I'm good to go
Hmmm, I ate every last lick. Clean plate and bowl club! WIll I regret this tomorrow?
Then our designated driver (very important to have one of those!), insisted on doing a quick McD's drive-through for some coffee. Well, excuse me, but your Dessert Darling is NOT about to go through McDonalds and not get a milkshake! I told my friend to surprise me with the flavor. The result was an artificially sweet strawberry milkshake that kindled fond memories of scratch and sniff stickers and strawberry cotton candy. Made with real strawberries this was not. But then again, as much as I'm about eating "real food" (and I am), I kinda dug that I didn't have real tart berries souring up the batch. Over all, it was a tasty, but perfectly average shake. 2.5 cherries.
Perhaps I'll tidy this blog entry up in the morning... but for now, I'm having jolly time late night blogging...OOoh, naughty me.
You are too funny!! I love pinches tacos. And there is actually a "pink taco" in the century city mall! (it's not bad either)
But totally ironically, I came home last night craving a milkshake too, so I made a homemade strawberry shake from some strawberry ice cream I just made : )

I haven't had a fast food milk shake in forever! My favorite were always the chocolate from Dairy Queen though. Delish!
