Inside "The Orange Leaf"
Well, recently, some good friends took my husband and I out to eat. After dinner, they took us to a place called "The Orange Leaf". This place is AMAZING! It is a frozen yogurt shop, and it works like this:
1st, you get your bowl. They come in two sizes: large and extra-large.
2nd, you walk around the room and get as much and as many flavors of frozen yogurt as you want. The choices of flavors are:
Tart, Vanilla, Chocolate, Honeydew, Green Tea, Kiwi, Strawberry, Mango, Pomegranate, Mint Chocolate, Coffee Lover, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Peach, Green Apple, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Cherry, Dole Pineapple, Blueberry, Peanut Butter, Cheese Cake, Cookies & Cream, White Chocolate, Banana, Coconut, Cake Batter, Red Velvet, Pistachio and Chocolate Raspberry
This picture shows a lady getting ready to choose which kinds of frozen yogurt she wants from the many flavors available.
3rd, you put toppings on top. Again, you can choose as many toppings as you want. The toppings to choose from are:
Kiwi, Pear, Mochi, Pecan, Peach, Honey, Mango, Banana, Granola, Coconut, Nuts, Pineapple, Blueberry, Strawberry, Blackberry, Raspberry, Honey Dew, Jelly Bellies, Cranberries, Watermelon, Oreos, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Brownie, Gummy Bears, Dark Chocolate, Captain Crunch, Sunflower Seed, Dried Fruits, Graham Cracker, M&M's, Sprinkles, Marshmallows, Butterfinger, Reeses Cups.

4th, you weigh and pay. Your yogurt is weighed and you pay for the amount you have taken.
And last but not least, enjoy your one-of-a-kind masterpiece you made yourself.

Like my title says, this is a very dangerous discovery for me. I love frozen yogurt, but I hope I can resist the temptation to stop at "The Orange Leaf" when I am passing by.
Think about having a fresh, coffee-shop-quality espresso when you get up in the morning ñ without having to leave the house. This is what your very own espresso machine can provide, but it is important to make sure you buy the right product, and know how to use it when you get it home.
ReplyDeleteEspresso is a syrupy, traditionally Italian, specialty coffee. Coffee shop owners will tell you that making mouth-watering espresso is just like pulling the perfect pint of beer. It requires patience, practice, and is much harder than it looks. Good quality espresso machines can make it easier by controlling the temperature and the internal mechanisms more exactly.

OMG Jackie! This is a dangerous place where all the temptations are at hand. Some flavours sound a bit bizarre like cake batter or tart - but I wouldn't mind trying a few of them.
ReplyDeleteCertainly this could become a bad bad habit!
Arifur, I'll check that website out! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFlo, yes, other places here in the States are tempting enough, but to be able to make your own and use as many flavors and toppings as you want? I think I'll be able to pass it by most of the time. I'm still inclined to go to a good coffee place and get something pretty low on fat and calories. :o)
ReplyDeleteThis would be a dangerous place. They might want to have "small" bowls too.
ReplyDeleteWhat would be worse; if they also served fantastic coffee.
I agree Dedene. I wish they had small bowls. ;o)
