Cuisine Review

So. . . I HAD A McDONALD'S HAPPY MEAL TODAY! Meaning, I GOT A TOY! Isn't this exciting?!

I don't know, maybe I'm going through this overly-whimsical-and-childlike phase, but McDonald's food (which I normally don't even like all that much) seems to taste about 15 times better when served in Happy Meal format. This applies even when they put entirely too much ketchup on the hamburger (making it look freakishly tourniquet-like) or when your age is, er, wayyy closer to 30 than to 20. Besides, I was just arbitrarily in the mood for it this afternoon. Fierce cravings that last for about three hours have a tendency not to make any sense. So sue me.

I must say, however, I wasn't crazy about the Orange Arctic Shake (which is apparently made of sherbet). This tasted too much like a Creamsicle, which shouldn't have been a surprise, but I guess I'd expected something with a little more kick to it -- maybe something with a splash of orange juice? In a nutshell, I like Shamrock Shakes better. Maybe some March, I'll get a Shamrock Shake and dip a couple of French fries in it if I'm feeling especially bold and daring.

OK, I'm done attempting to be a sort-of quasi restaurant critic now.
