Vanilla syrup? I haven't ever heard of that. Strawberry ice cream is great, but pinapple is not my favorite mix-in. Alone it's okay--especially if it's grilled. I would give it a try, though. It sounds interesting and quite refreshing.

The best ice cream I EVER had was in Paris. My dad and I found this fantastic little hole-in-the-wall gelateria. My favorite combination was godiva dark chocolate and raspberry. Together it was heaven in a sugar cone.

There's a great place here called Neilsen's Frozen Custard. That is pretty good stuff, too. It's extremely smooth and the flavor is VERY rich--something, I'm sure, to do with the eggs.

There was a sale on Ben and Jerry's ice cream at the grocery store last week, and my MOM--not me--gave into temptation and bought, like, seven or eight of those little containers and shared them with the entire family. Wow, that was awesome! She's such a sweet mom.

Wacky fun!

oh, and on the subject of milkshakes...i want a malt!

Not you ladies have me wanting a milkshake...

mmmm....frozen custard....

And gelatos!

I miss Ritas. Anyone ever been in the greater Philly area and had Ritas? You can get water ice, which is NOT that nasty shaved ice stuff, it's much better. And you can get frozen custard, which is richer and creamier and more fattening than ice cream. And you can mix the two together in lovely swirly layers and have a gelato. My favourites were chocolate custard and strawberry water ice or vanilla custard with mango.

I miss Ritas.

Yes, you were there. We stopped by the place after our Browncoat dinner, after the ren faire. Of course it was fairly warm, and it melted a bit before we got back to Ash's. And there was much drinking.

oh yeah!

The reason I don't remember that is that I barely ate any and then I put it in the freezer and forgot about it.

It was very good though, what little I ate.

And then instead of taking my yummy broccolied pasta home, I accidentally took Ash's "2 dolla shrimp" and fed it to my grandfather.

It's kind of a good thing I don't live in Raleigh because I would want to eat there all the time.

Well, there and that amazing Lebonese deli that we went to during the BDMPP weekend. That place was fantastic.

Latest drink experiment:

Wash, pit and slice two ripe peaches and place in blender.
Add to blender a measure of vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
Add to blender two shots peach schnapps.
Add to blender two shots vodka (best if vodka has been stored in the freezer.)

Blend, pour in skim milk while blending to bring drink to the right consistency.

optional engredients: Cointreau, and / or Tuaca.

Drink, but do not drive.

I had a big chocolatey weekend. I got a box full of goodies from a certain Mai we all know and love! And then this morning a kid in the band I lead from church came into my office. He just got back from a 3 week school trip to Germany and brought me a bunch of Ritter chocolates. Mmmmmm!

I need to join a gym.

Yumm... Ritter! I think my favorite Ritter bar is the kind with the butter cracker in the middle. Hazelnut is the second best and then the crispy kind. Ahh... Chocoate...
Oh, the coolest thing. Thursday night a friend and I went to a frozen custard place. It was late and they were about to close. We walked in and they told us that they were out of vanilla (the choices were chocolate or vanilla) and because of that we could order anything and it would be free. FREE! That was probably the BEST frozen custard I've ever had! (Maybe I already told that story? I forget.)

Chocolate is in the process of fixing things... I hope.

No joining of gyms required. We're all perfect.
Hope everyone is well, I need a nap.

mm, yes the cookie one is fantastic. As is hazelnut. But coconut is my favourite. But that's because I love coconut.

I also like the yogurt, the cappuccino, tirmisu, crispies, just plain chocolate, marzipan. I love them all, really. Except white chocolate because it's not really chocolate it's just this funky stuff that leaves this filmy coating in my mouth.

I agree, white chocolate isn't chocolate at all. That's why it tastes so nasty--it's a chocolate impersonator that doesn't do a very good job.
There is ONE and only ONE exeption, though. There is this Swiss white chocolate candy bar with nuts and dried fruit mixed into it which is really amazingly good. THAT is the only concession I will make in my stance against white chocolate.

You know, I have a cooler. A rolly wheeled cooler that's not terribly large.

I supposed I could bring it, so that we could put ice in it and store stuff that needed to be kept cool. Like guiness and hypnotiq and vodka.

Just a thought. And, it would be handily full of ice for drinks.

there weren't any yogurt ones in this pack.

the only time I've been able to find the yogurt ones is in that multi pack that you bought at NYE, remember? I asked them if they could get the big ones in at the british grocer, but they never have. I've also asked for wine gums and they've never gotten them in either.

But the tiramisu ones are very yummy. You should try one!
