gelato. Once you have eaten gelato, you will never go back to plain old ice cream again. Try the triple chocolate. Absolute heavenly taste.

At least, not a pint of B&J or any other high-quality ice cream.

Don't beat yourself up. You're not a super hero. You're only human. Enjoy it.

then again, I'm presently working on a couple of pints of Haagen-Dazs' new "artisan" (translation: Ben & Jerry's-like) flavors, owing to the fact that HD was what was on special last time I ordered groceries.

I was able to stretch it out over two days though. Just in case, I also got a pint of the salted carmel. You haven't lived until you've had a pint of that gooey goodness. I like how the glob of carmel sticks to the spoon so you can eat it like a lollipop.

God bless America

My excuse was that it was Fat Tuesday, the day before the start of Lent, so I'm allowed to feast on something special.

54. You would have loved Publix Premium New Orleans Caramel Praline
Fri Feb 12, 2016, 01:15 AM
Feb 2016

From a review of it: "New Orleans Caramel Praline combines brown-sugar flavored ice cream with swirls of thick caramel and crunchy praline and isn’t the first to focus on the Crescent City candy. What sets this apart from the competition is the same thing that sold me on this selection: the brown-sugar base."
http://www.theicecreaminformant.com/2013/07/review-publix-premium-new-orleans.html

Our family joked that it was ice cream crack.

Unfortunately they have discontinued it. It was part of Publix's limited edition flavors and while they still have their disgusting Pumpkin Pie flavor they no longer have the New Orleans Caramel Praline.

It tasted like something was wrong with it compared to Ben and Jerry's or Haggen Daz.
