Best ice cream flavor ever? Introducing Schweddy Balls!

Christmas just came early, boys and girls!

In case you hadn't heard, in honor of the famous Saturday Night Live skit (see below), Ben & Jerry's has just introduced Schweddy Balls Ice Cream, a new limited-batch flavor with a vanilla ice cream base, a hint of rum, and loaded with fudge covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls.

Mmm... balls.

So, will anyone be able to resist Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls? I don't think so. Though as the ice cream is a limited-batch flavor, if you want to suck on some Balls, you better hurry. They'll only be around for a few months.

[Note: This clip is even funnier if you only listen to the audio.]



Happy Season's Eatings, everyone!

Good times, good times.

Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day!

In case you missed the memo, today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, which should make J-THREE-O very happy. (She looooooves chocolate ice cream. Me? I am more of a chocolate chip fan.)

It is also Daniel Boone Day -- the day when American pioneer Daniel Boone "discovered" Kentucky.

But wait, that's not all. Today is also the beginning of Shavuot, the period commemorating God giving the Israelites the Torah on Mount Sinai and the first harvest of the season. And how does one commemorate Shavuot, you ask? By eating at least one dairy meal. (Mmmm... chocolate ice cream.) I kid you not.

So in honor of National-Chocolate-Ice-Cream-Daniel-Boone-Shavuot-Day, I will be eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream in my coonskin cap watching a replay of various Kentucky Derbies while reading some Old Testament. (The Book of Daniel, perhaps?)

Enjoy!
