On Thursday, I saw that Ben and Jerry's had posted on their facebook page that they were opening a new shop near to where I live. AND not only was their grand opening on Thursday but, BUT, they were giving away free scoops of ice cream.
And thus, I knew what was in store for our night!
Well, hello Cherry Garcia.
I like the way you mooooove. This post is not sponsored by Ben and Jerry. But it should be.
Remember when I had a rehearsal session with a hair/make up person before my wedding and she was really really really mean to me? Well, one of the things she sells in her shop are reading glasses. Which I don't need. But what I do need is seeing-far-away glasses. I hardly ever find frames that I like (I never find frames that I like), and so when I spotted these I became instantly smitten.
Saturdays are made for baking. Inspector Climate helped me make a big batch of granola bars!
I went into Ben & Jerry's Friday night and got excited looking at all the delicious flavours, then I noticed the price: $6.50 for two scoops. That gets you THREE scoops at the other places I buy icecream/gelati. I walked away dejectedly. I'll probably end up going back and buying some regardless of the cost though.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you that you have your Cherry Garcia so close to home. How kind of them to open the store near where you live!
aw..love the glasses..and I just figured out who Inspector reminds me of...
ReplyDeleteThe vamp on the Canadian version of Being Human..Sam Witwer who plays Aidan. He's a really good actor.
Oh, what a fun week. Ice Cream! and the cooking! of granola goodness.
Will you guys celebrate Thanksgiving?
I've heard of NaNoWriMo, but I have never heard of the blog version. I love it!

How fun to be able to spend some time in the kitchen together. And I love those frames! We don't have a B&J here but I did stop at the Gelato shop on Friday and had a Peach and Chili gelato - was sooo good xoxox
ReplyDeleteYum free ice cream! I love Ben and Jerry's, but it's so expensive :(

Homemade granola bars? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteI love B&J's, the brownie one.. yum!
ReplyDeleteWell, now I want icecream. And new glasses. Sounds like it's been a very fortuitous time for you!
ReplyDeleteSounds (and looks) like a bit of perfection sprinkled throughout your days!
ReplyDeleteAnd such fabulous glasses! I wear reading glasses in the evenings, when my eyes are especially tired. It always freaks my cat completely out.
That sunrise would definitely motivate me for early yoga!
ReplyDeleteI love Ben and Jerrys! That's awesome that you got some for free!
