Trying the Salt & Straw/Taco Bell collaboration

 I love a choco taco, I always have. It has the perfect ice cream to cone ratio. A standard choco taco comes with a waffle cone taco shell, ice cream through the middle, and a chocolate hard shell on top. When I saw that Salt & Straw had collaborated with Taco Bell on one I knew it was going to be for me. 

I went to the Bridgeport location looking for them and there were only a few left. I snagged one and headed to the seating area near the shop where I got to hang out by the fire and eat the Tacolate with some spicy sauce. 

I tried it without sauce first. Really delicious cinnamon-ancho flavored ice cream in a crunchy waffle taco, covered in snappy chocolate, and puffed quinoa sprinkled over the top. Small but individual sized.


Trying it with the mango jalapeƱo sauce, ok. It could have been spicier in my opinion. 

Then the wild berry cinnamon sauce, also ok. 

A fun little treat for the day. Really nice and crunchy. I’d have another one someday, no sauce necessary. 



Cranberry harvest, 2025

 I recently took a trip with my hubby to the Cranberry Museum and Gift Shop in Long Beach, Washington to watch the cranberries being harvest...
