Friday Favorite-Twist Cones

CG is a hard core vanilla guy. Vanilla ice cream. Vanilla Frosties. Just vanilla. I, on the other hand, am not really into vanilla. It's like ice cream before they add the flavor. When we were first dating, we met a couple of my "old" college roommates and their husbands for ice cream at Iceberg's. He ordered a vanilla shake. A VANILLA SHAKE!!! I almost broke it off right then because I was so appalled. Who goes to a place with a gazillion different flavors of ice cream and orders vanilla?! It turns out that CG does. Obviously, I did not break up with him over it and we're married now. But this has not stopped me from mocking him about it.

Last night we headed out to pick up our new appliances. I had told the girls that we would get ice cream cones on our way out because.....well, there's no real logical reason but that's what I said I would do. Guess what CG ordered? That's right.....vanilla. Now guess what I ordered. Oh, the predictability of us....I ordered chocolate. As for the girls, they both wanted the chocolate-vanilla twist cone. It's only fitting that when a vanilla and chocolate get married, their children are the perfect combination of them both.
Yes, it was very messy and it had CG twitching. But, I'd do it all over again and probably will. I can always clean up the mess, but I can never replace those fun, and messy, memories we made.

Be eternally grateful that you take after me, because as you may recall, your dear beloved father is also a vanillaholic/compulsive/addicted/can not be changed lover of all things vanilla, especially ice cream. It may be why he gets along so well with CG. Just picture your little family only eating vanilla as genetically dictated. You would miss all the yummy choclate mint, luscious strawberry, rocky road etc. wonderful flavors there are. It makes scrubbing out the carseats each time worth it all. xoxoxo

PS: Does your Mom comment on your site? How fun! I wish my Mom would do the same. She still sends me e-mail after she reads anything. It is super! :)

I like the vanilla cone DIPPED in chocolate. For what it's worth.

peewee...there's a local grocery store that has an ice cream place and they have chocolate ice cream that can be dipped in cherry! So, so yummy.

Thanks Jo! You're fabulous!
