What are you craving?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Every once in awhile you taste something that just does a number on you. For me, and for many others I have been talking to lately, it’s the tangy frozen yogurt from Yoforia. It’s like frozen yogurt used to taste, before it morphed into being indistinguishable from soft-serve ice cream.
There are just three flavors, original, green tea and pomegranate. I’m a purist - I go for original. Not only is the taste fresh and clean, but the toppings are yummy things like pomegranate seeds (when in season), super-fresh berries and a bizarre but addictive topping, mochi, a chewy gelatinous rice cake ball that is more like a gummy treat than anything resembling rice or cake.
I first got hooked at Pinkberry’s when I was in LA over Christmas. My sister-in-law, niece and nephew kept talking about it. They were beyond addicted. Carpool routes had been rejiggered to pass by their favorite location. That’s serious business in LA, where any deviations can leave you stuck in traffic for hours.
While I haven’t re-routed any journeys on a regular basis, I certainly have made some emergency detours to pass by it. Especially on the recent warm days. At least, I console myself with the fact it is a reasonably healthy, albeit a slightly expensive vice.
What about you? Do you detour for doughnuts? Are you willing to be late for lattes? What have you tried recently that you can’t wait to have again?
