Wait, WHAT!?!?
A post on Saturday?!??
The insanity.
Last night I had a “date night” with my friend Chelsey. On Friday she mentioned me TWICE in her blog post to make me feel bad for not mentioning her in my Thursday Thoughts post. So now I’m making a WHOLE POST just about our evening to counter-act her double mention in Friday’s post. Makes sense, right?
And yes, this is a joke – we don’t actually make each other feel bad based on blog mentions.
Anyway, want to know the reason that I’m so excited to tell you about last night that I couldn’t wait another day?
WE WENT TO YOGURTLAND!!!!
For those of you who aren’t huge frozen yogurt fans like myself, Yogurtland is a very popular self-serve frozen yogurt chain, but it is mostly found out west. It recently came to Chicago and I resisted for a WHOLE FOUR WEEKS so I could go for the first time with my fro-yo loving friend, Chelsey. It’s our thing.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
We started out by getting an…. early dinner at RA Sushi. And by early, I mean we were there at 5pm. I was going to make reservations but realized it was horribly unnecessary, and embarrassing.
Sushi is also our thing.
I ordered a tuna roll, shrimp nigiri, and… quail eggs. Haha, they were only $2 and I thought I should try something new!
Little did I know they came raw… I had to eat them like a shot! I had one, it wasn’t half bad but I’m pretty sure they put soy sauce in there (I’m soy intolerant), so I just had the one. (Chelsey has a picture of me eating the quail egg… we’ll see if I can obtain that. I might not want to…).
Chelsey ordered their vegetarian roll, and was rather sad when it came out wrapped in lettuce rather than seaweed!
Sad face…
Haha she learned her lesson I guess, at least if she ever goes to RA again!
After RA, we headed over the main event of the evening:
YOGURTLAND!!!
After sampling almost every single flavor (pretty sure I skipped over 3…), we finally got our yogurt and sat down for some more chatting.
Oh, and more picture taking. Because we love that.
I got Dutch Chocolate, Madagascar Vanilla Bean, and a smidge of Red Velvet Cupcake. Toppings included strawberries, raspberries, mochi, reeses peanut butter cups and a few peanut M&Ms (my FAVORITE!).
Oh, and a gummi heart! Forgot about that until I looked at the picture again. Very good, and clearly left over from Valentine’s Day. Perfect for our post Valentines date night!
I really enjoyed Yogurtland, but I have to be honest, I think Mochi is better! It’s a hard call, they’re both pretty amazing. Yogurtland does win points for being in downtown Chicago! It also wins major points because I felt just like Janae! Haha, she’s the person I learned so much about Yogurtland from!
I wish Chelsey and I lived a little closer, I’d love to see her all the time! I guess we’ll just need to plan more frozen yogurt meet-ups in the future. Woe is me… haha.
