Junk Food Nation, a woman was struck on the Fourth of July by lightning.  Not only was she struck by lightning, but she LIVED. But NOT ONLY did she LIVE, but she was PREGNANT…and they quickly rushed her to the hospital where they performed an emergency C-Section…AND THE BABY LIVED TOO!

Thankfully everyone is fine…but is anyone else thinking what I’m thinking?  THIS BABY IS NOW A SUPERHERO!  Someone get the villain from Unbreakable down here… as a former comic nerd, I know that superheroes on Earth always have crazy origin stories.  Getting injected with Super Soldier formula.  Being doused with gamma rays.  Flying a space mission and getting caught in cosmic radiation.  Being bitten by a radioactive spider. What BETTER origin story can you have than BEING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING ON THE FOURTH OF JULY WHILE IN THE WOMB AND SURVIVING???

Everyone needs to keep a VERY close eye on this baby.  Once baby Kimberly starts levitating and moving sh*t with her mind at age 2, we’ll need to give her a bulletproof costume and start telling her which countries have nuclear stockpiles that need disarming.

Today’s junk food: Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato!

Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato: The Money Shot

Look, I’ve already raved about Talenti enough on this blog, I think.  It’s the best.  THE BEST.  Everything I’ve had of Talenti’s has been good.  If you want to see more of my opinions about Talenti, read here, here, and here. All YOU need to know is that Talenti is AWESOME, but sort of pricey (usually around $5), so anytime it is on sale, I have to buy some…which is what happened with this Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato.

Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato: Yeah, I couldn’t wait

Okay OKAY, laugh all you want, I couldn’t resist eating a LOT of this Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato before I managed to yank the cold spoon out of my gaping maw and put it down to take photos.  SORRY.  I’m telling you, I LOVE TALENTI.

Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato: Sort of looks like mashed potatoes…except for the melting bit

Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato was just delicious. JUST DELICIOUS.  In short, it tasted like the frozen insides of a Mounds or Almond Joy candy bar.  Frozen coconut awesome.

To put it more descriptively: The spoon sliced through the gelato with ease; Talenti is still one of the smoothest gelatos I’ve had.  The first taste I got was definite coconut – light and sweet and milky.  It mixed with the general vanilla flavor of the gelato well.  But as the gelato melted in my mouth, I noticed that there were tiny chewy bits of coconut throughout the spoonful, though unable to be detected readily by eye.  THAT’S the aspect that made it taste like frozen Mounds filling.

Even if you don’t like coconut, I think you’ll enjoy this gelato.  REALLY good offering by Talenti here.  Done right, and rightly done.
