DEL.ICIO.USWhat 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?

I cannot stand frozen yogurt. I would much rather have soft ice cream.
The one thing I do crave, about once a week, is Publix rotissiere chicken, Mojo flavor. I can barely get it home in one piece. I also make a fabulous chicken salad with the leftovers…….
Other than that, we don’t eat out. We like to stay home and try new recipes all the time, or just invent as we go along.
Tonight we are having a simple meal (most Fridays are simple), chicken on the grill, roasted zucchini on the grill and corn on the cob on the grill…..Oh I can’t wait……and a bottle of Chardonnay….We’ll dine out on the deck with our new patio furniture, and enjoy Friday evening…….the kids are all off with their friends, its just the two of us…….Very romantic…..

Dear Aurora,
You sound like the most boring person on the planet.

Dear VoiceOfReason,
Tooshay. You sound like a hypocrite.
Dear Aurora,
Those meals at home sound delicious! I also can not stand Frozen Yogurt and Yoforia is no exception.
