Screaming For Ice Cream
I took the kids to a new ice cream place today. Gourmet stuff, more expensive than most, but you get what you pay for. Did you know that Americans spent more than $20 billion on ice cream last year? Ice cream is my number one treat. I don't do cake or pie. I don't even care much for brownies and cookies anymore. Give me a simple banana split sundae and I'm happy. My kids also love ice cream, but we all have to be careful because it's loaded with fat. The more fat, the more flavor. So, we save the ice cream for special times, maybe twice a month. The key is to not have it at home where it's a temptation to eat all the time. Instead we'll splurge for the gourmet shop where we can sit, relax and enjoy, and then be done with it.

I see a finger pointing at what appears to be Blue Moon, the twins favorite!
Now I want ice cream...speaking of the yummy stuff, took the family to an old cider mill and walked through an adjoining Christmas shop and guess what they had for sale, right above the counter? Cow Tunes for Kids! Got that for the kids and some hard cider for me and the hubby! But I still want ice cream...
Mmmmmm....ice cream.....
My favorite too. Now I want some. We have a new ice cream place opening downtown next weekend. It's going to make life very difficult around here.
If I'm not mistaken, it looks like you went to the new Coldstone Creamery! That place is great, and they have to sing if you tip them. I had dinner there recently (hehe), and absolutely loved it :)
