Longtime readers are aware of my longtime love affair with the little spoonful of heaven known as the Chocolate Frosty.
Sadly, I am fickle. I find myself running off these days for a nightly rendezvous with my new love, the Whataburger chololate shake.

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go find my salt tablets. Like I’m supposed to get by on 474 mg of sodium …
