I'm not gonna lie, it's very tasty. meara, the way I make it is a shot of Torani hazelnut syrup, a shot of cream, the rest of the glass with soda water. Mysteriously, no egg. But lots of nom

The lack of egg in egg cream is very confusing to my brain.

There's no cream in it either.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Humblebrag! Right! That's the term. Still, I'm glad grumblebrag works too, in the right circumstances.

Speaking of errant terminology, egg cream seems a bit of a misnomer. Makes me wonder where the term came from. I think I looked it up once and found the narrative less than compelling. Didn't remember it anyway.

The ER is cold, Burrell, if you need a good chill.

It is, it's true. Oh dear, does that mean you are heading in that direction?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wish I could wave my magic health wand.

I am a little woeful about the prospects of midwestern pollen vortexing. The nasacort has been really effective. I can tell, because every time I try to quit it, I have miseries. But I'm concerned about the glaucoma risk with prolonged use. What is prolonged usage? Anyway, I'm also now just starting to get the nosebleeds, which I am also prone to. Or maybe it's because I forgot to refill the humidifier? Yeah, let's go with that.

The point is, midwest, I am coming to you. Please be kind to my southwestern acclimated sinuses.

You're doing it wrong. It's chocolate syrup and seltzer. It's basically a kind of chocolate soda stirred into a high froth.

There's some particular kind of chocolate syrup that was common in Brooklyn they favored too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They do usually have milk, no?

Fox's U-Bet. And Jesse's right -- it also has milk.

It also works a lot better if you've got an old-fashioned seltzer bottle. It doesn't foam up right if you just pour the seltzer in.

You're doing it wrong.

I will not attempt to serve it to you. But using cream instead of milk is never wrong.
