Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Epic, I really like NadaMoo

I tried their cookie dough flavor because it's the only dang gluten-free cookie dough ice cream I could find, and it was pretty good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Their Soy Creamy pints are pretty good as well, but I really like the sandwiches. I think they have "mini" in the name? Aha, these [link]

I'll have to check these out. Tofutti does some, but their vanilla is not great. They do a mint chip one that's pretty good, but I don't love mint.

Epic, I really like NadaMoo - coconut milk, tapioca, and agave syrup, and somehow the mouth feel is right. Gluten free, vegan, they've just added a line with no sugar, when I bring the car back from Tacoma I'm absolutely stopping at Sprouts and buying a pint of their pistachio nut.

Also added to the list - though for pints, Ben & Jerry are hard to beat. Unfortunately also hard to find sometimes, but their dairy free (almond milk based, I believe) choices are tasty.

Yay for appointments, Todd! Boo for insurrectionists!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Toddson inspired me; a chocolate cake is in the oven. Neither sugar-free, fat-free, nor gluten-free - also only about four servings: Jim and I could eat an entire layer cake by ourselves, but it would not be in our best interests. I had two 6" pans that I'd bought in a fit of "Find something else to put in this order" and a recipe from one of ATK's Cooking For Two books. It smells good, if nothing else.

Hi Gud!

Yay appointments!

We’ve been making strides with the 60+ demographic in NC. This month we’re adding teachers and other essential face to face workers. Maybe next month I’ll have a shot at a shot.

Yum, cake.

I have been v tempted lately to splurge and order Jeni's pints delivered. But told myself that's ridiculous because they're expensive to start with and then shipping is $20 for a four pack. So I told myself I could buy any ice cream I want at the store, and I bought three pints (two ben and jerry that were on sale, and one tillamook frozen custard that is actually awesome and I may need to try other flavors--this one is honey ice cream with honeycomb candy pieces)

I am an ice cream snob who has tried several Jeni's flavors and likes Graeter's better (who also delivers!). Well, not that I like Graeter's *better* -- I just think Jeni's is overpriced. If they were priced the same, I might lean towards Jeni's.

I like Jeni's flavors. And sadly, the one time I got Graeter's here (I think the one grocery chain has one or two flavors, sometimes) it wasn't very good (the chocolate in it was really waxy?? [ETA: but the times I've gotten Graeter's at their stores it was delish!]). Mostly the reality is I'm sad the local frozen custard place closed, and the one I love in DC posts every day about their delicious flavors and other baked goods and it makes me want frozen treats. (All y'all in the DC area should go to the Dairy Godmother)
