I splurged at the grocery store today, bought some Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

"Chocolate Therapy," never tried it before but it looks

Chocolate ice cream, with chocolate cookies, and swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream.

Yumyumyum...

taste but that sounds delicious. The local grocery had it on sale last week so I bought several new (to me) flavors but I didn’t notice that one.

but I've reached the point where I can't really enjoy an ice cream unless it has some contrasting textures in it, be it cookies or pretzels or whatever. I guess that's why I enjoy Ben & Jerry's so much, because it's so "busy."

Speaking of which, I'm going to head out to our big freezer in the garage now because I think there may be some Tonight Dough waiting for me

as bad as I am. Try Aldi's 'Make Fudge Not War' and also compare the price of the two. I am a fussy outfit when it comes to food and this Aldi stuff is fabulous. Comes in a pint size.

Until Publix introduced their Premium Limited Edition New Orleans Caramel Praline - Brown sugar ice cream with swirls of thick caramel and crunchy praline pecans. They only sell it part of the year but it is addicting.

Another flavor I love but will probably never be able to have again is Orkney Ice Cream Toffee & Orkney Fudge - Nuggety notes of local fudge harmonise with rich toffee tones in a delectable duet of deliciousness. Mostly sold in the Orkney Islands, and just now beginning to be sold in Scotland and part of Northern England. I got to have it three times while we were in the Orkneys in fall 2019 but I am not sure we will ever get back to that part of the world again.

Perhaps I'm fortunate that I don't have Publix where I am, and am not very likely to get to the Orkneys or even England in the foreseeable future.

I guess I'll just have to console myself with more Butter Pecan.

Jenni’s is my go to for a splurgey treat. $$$ but so good. Next would be Graeter’s Black Raspberry with Chocolate Chunks or Dairy Queen butterscotch dipped cone. None of them pass my lips often, but when they do, I enjoy every single bite.
