Day #6, Still No Orange Juice

And no sunshine, either.

I am spending my time racking the far regions of my enormous brain, in every last attempt to come up with the best April Fool's joke ever... I will think of a good one this year. I will.

So, the one highlight of my day was dinner. Which I just finished eating. When I tell you what I had, I pronounce that you will be insanely jealous. You really will....because I had............BACON.

We actually had a shortage of bacon in the Harbison household tonight, prompting what we call an EBR, or, in other words, an Emergency Bacon Run. Sometimes, bacon is a necessity. So, we booked it to the store and brought home the bacon. And we ate it with a side of french toast. Delish.

I have bigger news though.

Bigger.

Bolder.

At the store, while on said EBR, I spotted a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor that I just had to give a whirl. And I usually reserve my whirling for Imagine Whirled Peace (oh heavenly ice cream flavor goodness), but this one sounded simply splendid. It's called Red Velvet Cake. My oh my. If you know me, you know that red velvet is my favorite flavor of cake, especially in the form of a cup, more commonly referred to as 'cupcakes'. So, with that in mind, I was super excited to try this flavor... There it was, on the shelf... Calling to me. So I bought it. And I ate it.... and let me tell you....

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

IT IS A DISGRACE TO ICE CREAM.

I couldn't even finish my bowl, and as someone who regularly eats a few pints of ice cream a day, that is really saying something... It does not taste like red velvet at all. It tasted fruity. And gross. Fruit + Ice Cream = WTF. Strawberry ice cream? No. Cherry Garcia? HELL NO. Fruit should be reserved for sorbet, and sorbet should be reserved for Haagen-Dazs. And I wouldn't complain, as I know that some people dig the whole fruity ice cream thing, except for the fact that NOTHING about Red Velvet Cake implies any sort of fruit involvement. I was expecting something far different. Something rich. Smooth. Like velvet. But NO. It is bitter. Fruity. And the cake batter has the consistency of a dish sponge. No thanks. Ben and Jerry, you have failed me for the first time. I am truly disappointed. B&J can SMD. LOL. Get it? OK.

Alright, I'm off to play a rousing game of Settlers of Catan. I will be back shortly. I have a list of must-blog-about topics piling up.

Aren't I being a good blogger lately?
