Can’t Live Without It
Everybody has that one thing that they just cannot live without. One weakness that is so overpowering that it simply can’t be ignored. For some, it’s chocolate. For others, it’s tacos. For me, it’s ice cream.
I love ice cream. I don’t think I’ve gone an entire week without eating ice cream since I was 10 years old. It can be 30 below outside, and I still have to have my ice cream. Hagden Daaz, Ben & Jerry. Doesn’t matter (although, as Kev pointed out, I do have 3 pints of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie in my freezer right now). Coldstone Creamery makes a mean Cake Batter ice cream. Hagden Daaz Mayan Chocolate is like Heaven on a spoon. Yeah, Blue Bell will always have a place in my heart, but I don’t have a true favorite (alhtough I can quickly identify the very best ice cream I’ve ever had—it was at a lovely little gelateria on a tiny backstreet in Reggio-Emilia Italy). Just give me a scoop of any cold, creamy, yummy goodness, and I’m a happy girl. If I don’t have my ice cream on a regular basis, I turn into a very, very bad person. I’m pretty sure denying me my ice cream would be tantamount to ripping out my soul.
So you can keep your chocolate. You can most certainly keep your tacos. But don’t mess with my ice cream.

I’m also an ice-cream-a-holic. I enjoy it in all seasons at any time during the day. Oh ice cream…
The Mayan Chocolate is amazing.
If you are ever in Ohio you have to try Graeter’s and their black raspberry chip. Yummmmmmmm…
