Heaven in a small carton

[gwyn]

I normally don't post about things like this, but I had to today. This weekend, I tried a new ice cream and it was like having heaven in a little tiny pint carton -- Haagen Dazs's Hawaiian Lahua Honey and Sweet Cream ice cream from their reserve series. I thought I'd give it a try since both the taste and scent of honey are among my absolute favorites, and it sounded kind of unusual (one of the best ice creams I ever had was also the Honey Lavender handmade ice cream at Le Pichet when talkingsock took me there for lunch once).

Now, I have no idea what difference Lahua honey makes, because honey is just honey to me, mostly, but they put it into this super creamy sweet ice cream and there are also little tiny pocket swirls of the honey and OMG is it good. It's so rich and creamy and sweet, too, that a tiny bit goes a long way, which is great since I'm trying to cut back on everything (I don't believe in dieting, but I also know controlling how much you eat of treaty things makes a huge difference). And I've never been a big fan of Haagen Dazs, either, but this may change my mind a bit.

Now that I'm going to get a nice kitchen, I guess I should start a food tag. I'm already starting to think about what cookbooks I want to get.

And that's all I have to say. Kind of a bummer weekend, but at some point, I'll put up some more remodel pics now that I have cabinets.
