I’m (kinda sorta) lovin’ it
The weather in Manchester today was absolutely amazing, so we felt like we had to spend at least a little bit of it outside. (Note: our bodies must have adjusted to England’s climate, because even with this amazingly warm weather, the temperature was still only 59 degrees. For reference, the low in Chapel Hill today is 59 - it’s 78 there right now.)
Still rocking the sweet mustache and soul patch combo from the boat-themed party we hosted last night for Andrew’s birthday, Zeke decided to wear shorts for the first time outdoors.
And Wendy even got to wear flip flops with her ensemble:
Where was the final destination on our little walk? McDonald’s. Sounds weird, I know, but we heard that they were featuring Cadbury Egg McFlurries for a limited time (maybe with all the leftover eggs from Easter?) and thought a warm day would be a good chance to try one. Here’s the advert beside the register:
And then we got the gooey treat in our hands, and it still looked promising…
Then we took a few steps over to a sunny spot in front of the Whitworth Gallery , where Wendy tried the first bite. What’s the verdict?

How could they screw up something so promising as a Cadbury Egg combined with ice cream? Well, for starters, they don’t even use Cadbury Eggs. It’s just pieces of Cadbury chocolate and orange “fondant sauce”, whatever that means. So… kinda lame.
But, be not deterred, faithful blog readers - we heard of another dessert place nearby that takes an actual Cadbury Egg and blends it into a milkshake for you! Rest assured we’ll be trying that sometime soon, and bringing you the full report when we do.
