Eat Dessert First - ice cream edition



Oh. I am in so much trouble now.  I have been resisting the urge to get ice cream from Jeni's for weeks. Even though I walk past the store everyday and the weather has warmed up - I held out until today.
 
Big problem. Big. Huge. (Thank you pretty woman). I loved it. Loved it.  It was a great way to end a long work day.

I got the Wildberry Lavender and the Riesling Poached Pear.  Unusual flavor but very light and refreshing.  Reminded me of some of the melon gelato scoops I had in Italy in the past. The girl at the counter said Jeni had been experimenting with essential oil to get these flavors. And apparently there will be more seasonal treats to come.  Another customer mentioned the he already missed the fall/winter flavors that have been switched out for more springtime berries and fruits.

Some of the flavors I tried today were richer, heavier - but also delicious.   
Next up: Goat Cheese with Cherry

Summer Breeze....

Oh the love affair between Americans and their air conditioning....
   I admit it - I heart my AC, especially when it stops working and the temperature goes above 80.   However, it really was kind of nice to sleep with a cool breeze coming in through the windows once the temperature dropped and I also had the ceiling fan going.





 It reminded me of when I lived in Italy for a summer in an apartment with no air conditioning except in the living room.   The cheap little fan I bought saved my life!  I left it there for the next student so she would not have to suffer - kind of paying it forward I guess.
