A Wonderful Day

I woke up in Ellensburg this morning and helped myself to a banana and a pack of cookies Courtny left on the desk for me, both were delicious and a nice delight to wake to. Browsed reddit for a bit, got ready for the day and pondered what the afternoon might bring.

Courtny returned from class and suggested we go to:

So she drove us down in her bug that smells like a box of crayons. We get there and order lunch from this girl that Courtny apparently knew, but based on their conversation that went something like:
=Courtny: So are you a senior?
-Girl: No actually I'm a freshman here at central. You're graduated now right?
=Courtny: No not yet this is my last quarter.
Both: <_< .... >_>

It was like they knew each other but didn't, haha. Anyhow, I ordered an egg salad sandwich because I haven't had one of those in years it seems and Courtny gets a tasty vegetable sandwich that had this spread style cheese (i forget what it was) on it and a cookie. After I copy her when she puts the Tim's chips on her sandwich, she mentions that recently she had tried some Pumpkin flavored ice-cream from Winegars, as well as some froyo from Utopia and jokingly added we should go try them all including the Pumpkin Blizzard from Dairy Queen. This. idea. was. AWESOME! So I said, "wait, wait... we should really go do that."

We finished up and off we went! We headed over to Utopia first and saw that this car jumped the parking spot block, so Courtny parked a few spots down from it. We walked into Utopia and got a 16 oz tub of the Pumpkin froyo. At the register the cashier said, "did you guys see that car crash into the front of _____ Bar? apparently his brakes cut out and he couldn't stop and jumped the parking block and hit the front window of the Bar" Luckily for the bar there wasn't much damage done to it but a cracked window. So we look outside and two cop cars pulled up. 'Nothin to see here folks nothin to see' (they didn't really say that by the way), and really there wasn't.

We then go to Winegars. When the cashier at Winegars told me my total was $4.20, I smirked and Courtny giggled. Then we swooped through the drive-thru at DQ and rendezvoused back to Courtny's coop (not to say her place is dirty like a chicken coop i just liked the way that rhymed). We have now completed our Tri-Fecta of Pumpkin Greatness:

From left to right: Winegars, Utopia, DQ.

What a marvelous setup you might say... yes indeed it was. So we decided the only way to really get the taste of all three, was to:

Toss it all into a bowl and chow down. And that's exactly what we did. My tastebuds cried with euphoria when the Tri-Fecta of Pumpkin Greatness entered my mouth. And as you can see we loved it:

Which one tasted the best individually? Sorry to put the local shops down but DQ had the best overall flavor. The blizzard had pumpkin pie chunks blended in which added a great texture and more fullness of pumpkin than the other two. Winegars had the second best. It was more of a hint of pumpkin flavoring with mostly vanilla. Utopia, though it had a nice color it fell a bit short in having that pumpkin zest I expect when it's this season and I'm craving that rich pumpkin flavor.

What a wonderful day it was!
