You guys had a lot of good ideas for non-chocolate ice creams!I’m going to for sure look for some cake batter ice cream. Sounds delicious. I have a childhood hangup about sherbet. Not appealing.

This tooth ordeal has just been dragging on and on. Don’t know why. But the post is done, and I’m going to go in on the 27th to have the crown ’seated’. I’ve been able to chew on both sides of my mouth for a couple of days now. So THAT’S always nice.

In additional news, I have that sick feeling. BAH! Just in time for super fun family visits! Just keep your fingers crossed for me so that I can banish the sick.

Thoughts on Chocolate – or, more accurately, a life without.

April 4th, 2009

Truly, I can do without chocolate. As far as something to not be able to eat, it could be much worse. For 1, my ‘reaction’ is a worse migraine. When I was normal, it would trigger a migraine. This isn’t an allergy or life threatening.
And so, it seems an awful lot like whining to even complain, doesn’t it?
Let us continue anyway.
I would much rather not be able to eat chocolate than other things — what if I was unable to eat dairy, wheat, EGGS! These kinds of things are not only great, but they are IN EVERYTHING!

And so avoidance is much easier – are these chocolate cookies? Yes or no. Honestly, I could live the rest of my life without chocolate. There are so many other delicious flavors, I will miss it — but not too much.

Here is my problem — ice cream.
I love ice cream more than I should. It’s ridiculous, really. But I love ice cream, nonetheless. My favorite flavor before all this was Moose Tracks. Delicious. Fudge swirls and mini peanut butter cups. What could be better? Nothing, I tell you. *le sigh*

But even without Moose Tracks, life goes on. What the problem is, is that ice cream makers put chocolate chips or fudge swirls into EVERYTHING and ANY flavor! This leaves me with the choices like vanilla (bean please, no french) and strawberry. Really, I could use better options.

So my question to you is this: what is your favorite ice cream flavor that does NOT have any chocolate in it?
