| - Enlightening and delicious.
Veruca, Princess and I decided that after a delicious meal of fish &chips, a milkshake would be the perfect finish to our evening so of course we headed toward The Milkshake Factory. Looking through the window, the line looked pretty long, but out of pity for Princess, we decided to go in. As we were waiting, we noticed some different faces in the shop. Instead of just the usual lovely young ladies, there were a couple of folks behind the counter that almost looked out of place. Veruca and I assumed they must be the owners. At one point, the older gentleman smiled at the crowd. We both happened to catch it and it made us smile as well, because it was not the smile of greed an "look how much $$$ I am making" but instead it seemed to be a smile of humble pride at they way the crowd appreciated his hard work and artistry.
It turns out that the owner and his family had been out to dinner and had seen the crowd, rolled up their sleeves and jumped right in.
After we left with our delicious Milkshakes,(I recommend the chocolate Cinnamon) we talked about how glad we were that we walked in.
It made such a difference in how we thought of the place. Instead of a chocolate shop owned by some elite/arrogant chocolatier (for some reason, that was the impression we both had) it was now a person who was putting love into all of the little details.
Add this experience to the delicious offering at The Milkshake Factory and I better plan on spending even more time at the gym to work off the calories.
