I dunno, I don't really do guilt beyond truly bad acts done by choice.
That being said, I am a chocolate milk fiend.
I have to strictly limit myself or I'd drink nothing else, and not eat anything useful nutritionally.
Chocolate in general is my one true vice. I don't drink, I don't use recreational drugs, I'm monogamous (and happily so), I quit tobacco, and even caffeine beyond trace amounts in decaf. But you try an take chocolate out of my life, and I will fuck you up.
I'll even accept Hershey's if there's nothing else available.
But chocolate milk? Fuck me running. Cold, sweet, chocolatey goodness. I will walk right the fuck over infants and kittens if there's a cup on the other side. Puppies? I dunno, I think I'd try to step between them, but I'm not making promises.
Home made is incredible. But my particular weaknesses are the pet trumoo, and the promised land midnight. They use thickeners that up the silky texture. The promised land stuff is meant to be more like melted ice cream, and it succeeds.
Which, don't even ask me how quick I can kill a pint of hagendaz chocolate. Don't blink is all I'll say there.
I have no guilt involved there, but holy fuck is it an indulgence.
Oh, man. Iβm in my 30s, and now that my son is 6.5yo and has found his passion for chocolate milk, I rediscovered mine. We purposefully limit how much we buy every time we do the groceries, or weβd both be drinking the thing day and night. Iβm slightly lactose intolerant, on top of itβ¦
So Troi is half betazoid, and grew up with her mother on betazed. Where, presumably, there was no chocolate.
I know I know they have replicators and whatever. I just find it amusing that chocolate from Earth is so appealing as a flavor that less than a hundred years after joining the federation, Betazoid children are growing up loving chocolate frequently enough that Troi develops a strong taste for it.
I feel you on everything but the thickeners, I canβt drink the ones with that, feels weird.
There's a local brand in Vermont named monument farms - they make an insanely good whole chocolate milk. If you ever get a chance to have it go for it. I'm lactose intolerant but when I lived in Vermont I accepted all consequences to occasionally enjoy a nice tall glass of that.
VT eh? I was considering moving to Barre is that a good place? Remote worker, moving for scenery and just like VT.
Great place. Good views, good people and town hall day. Barre is relatively dense and in an impressive valley - I haven't spent an immense amount of time there but the services are all there for the capital and it gets to benefit from that.
Yeah, I've never been to VT, but have been to ME. The thing I like about VT most is their people [read: policies]. From afar I look at the datasets, and using R & later Julia, have concluded VT the best state, for my parameters.
have you tried chocolate milk flavored protein shake? or does that not quite hit the same, for you?
Not the same at all, but that was my preferred flavor back when I was lifting :)
I, the King Of The Internet, hereby grant you permission to have nice things every once in a while.
don't knock the choccy milk protein shake powder, that stuff can be pretty good sometimes. it's mostly just that you gotta shell out a buttload for it most of the time, for the stuff that actually tastes good.
I had to take powdered whey protein for medical reasons and it isn't that bad, but it isn't a milkshake from McDonald's either.
I don't know how regional this is, but Prairie Farms has a line of "premium" milks sold in small 1 serving bottles (and occasionally pints too) that I've only found at gas stations. The chocolate milk of that variety is really good but the strawberry milk is the nectar of the gods
