Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I get to heat up my diet chili dinner, the last of my diet food because (a) I can't afford to continue for the next month or so, and (b) I'm going to try to diet with real food, bought at the grocery store by me and cooked by me for me to eat, and hopefully save money (diet was costing $100 a week) as I lose weight.
All this talk about ice cream is NOT HELPING!!! Now I want Brown Cow frozen custard in Forest Park. Thank G-d I have $.07 to my name until tomorrow morning.
Now, for something non icecream?
Has anyone seen the Jessica Simpson video for "These Boots are Made for Walking?"
POOR WILLIE NELSON.
The New York Times weighs in on the song: here.
Video if you haven't seen. Defines gratuitous.
And, Don Knotts is 81 today.
The lemon at Fran's remains the One True Ice Cream
DAMN! It's nigh impossible to find really good lemon ice cream. I always look and am disappointed by sorbet. My father used to take me to this place when I was a kid and I always ordered it because he did. It was the bestest thing ever and I can never find it when I need a bit of creamy nostalgia.
We just got our electric bill, billing date through 7/19. I am sick, sick, sick at it: $171.00.
We came in at $148 this month. But there are few of us and less square footage. I share your bleh. It went from a freakishly cold, wet spring to an horrendously hot, humid summer. Like it jumped from March to August without blinking.
Oooh, now I want a Lemon Ice from one of the Italian beef places around here. Yumm, Lemon Ice...
There used to be a Dippin Dots place in a mall here. I was once walking behind two girls who were about 10 and were eating Dippin Dots.
First girl: They say it's the ice cream of the future.
Second girl: I hope not.
The one true ice cream is chocolate orange from Toscanini's, in Central Square, Cambridge.
Yum.
I distinctly remember the icecream being swirled with blueberry sauce and chunks of cheesecake.
HMOG.
DQ has something like that in a Blizzard.
Blueberry Cheesequake.
In non-ice cream news, there is a shrimp and sweet red peppers pizza being made for me right now!
On purpose?!?
B&J has a Strawberry Cheesecake flavor, blended with graham cracker swirl, that I love.
