Ice Cream Sundays - Pumpkin Cheesecake

I almost couldn't wait until Sunday to post this review, because the batch is limited and it's very important that you try this before it sells out for the season.

Why? Because it's LUSCIOUS!!!!!!

Hello Fall. I just ate you. And you are divine.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin flavored food so I thought I might not like this... And I thought wrong. It really has more of a spice cake flavor than pumpkin if you ask me...which absolutely no one has done but I am so passionate about this ice cream experiment that I am humoring myself.

In addition to the perfect amount of warm spice and cinnamon undertones, there is a mega-sugary delicious presence of graham cracker swirls. Even a little more delicious than the graham cracker swirls of the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream.

This one had me a'moanin and a'groanin. If you serve this at a dinner party this Fall, you are sure to impress your dinner guests who will be impressed that you and Ben and Jerry managed to churn the essence of an entire season into an ice cream, and then place it into a convenient pint sized carton for their enjoyment.

Summary:

Flavors Tried - 3

Pounds Gained - 0

Favorite Flavor - Still Strawberry Cheesecake

Mr Fix It...Later

I grew up having a dad that liked to fix things. And even now, he's like the Tasmanian Devil of home improvements. Moving with a determination and speed that, although is probably not even safe with power tools, is much appreciated because he GETS. IT. DONE.

I'm used to that. And I am used to doing things in a timely manner. So this whole moving into a house and doing one improvement per day is not my ideal.

My husband built the great wall of China a closet for me, and although it really is a dream closet, the box that it came it said estimated assembly time is 59 minutes...It took him a week. And I think he's still pretty tuckered out from it.

Last night I tried to reason him into putting up a mirror for me, because I knew it would only take a minute or two. The mirror now works, but my reasoning did not. I tried to tell him that I think we are in pretty traditional marriage roles. I cook all of his meals and clean and do laundry and all of that stuff. He works a lot and hunts and, in a dream world, can fix everything the minute I ask him to!

Well I did not plan this argument well. A mere hour before I gave him this schpeel, I had insisted that we go to Hooters for beer and buffalo wings. And while it was delicious, it did absolutely nothing for my whole "we are traditional" argument.

He reminded me that traditional women don't beg their husbands to go to a place where the only thing bigger than the beers and wings is the bazongas on the women that serve them.

Point. Counterpoint.

I am slowly just getting used to not getting everything finished instantly. And I hate it. But I am realizing...GULP...my way is not always the best way and sometimes a man just needs to sit on his ass. And sometimes a woman just needs some damn buffalo sauce.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Breaking News: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have launched a website solely dedicated to their twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

What's the name of the website? I'm glad you asked...http://dembabies.com/ What else, silly?!

This is literally as if God answered the most specific prayer I've ever had. They are super cute.

Unfortunately the pictures you can scroll through aren't numbered, but please click through them at least until you get to the one with the baby wearing a diamond tiara and pearl necklace. I think it's the 5th or 6th one. And I think it's the best thing I've ever seen.

YES WE CAN!

I'm Soo not in love with a stripper

Good news porno-loving fans of freckles: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2053506/Lindsay-Lohan-pictured-way-1m-Playboy-shoot--mother-Dina-reveals-went-well.html

Lisa Lohan has officially stripped for Playboy. Thank goodness...the suspense has been killing me about what her naked body looks like. Oh wait...I've seen it like 10 times by accident. Because she's modest like that.

I understand that addictions are addictions and maybe it's harder to stop smoking crack and being a raging alcoholic than the average person thinks. But it is not hard to stop being naked in public.

It's pretty simple really. You just don't take your clothes off for cameras. And you certainly don't do it for money. And when you say it out loud like that it sure does sound a lot like prostitution. But in this case it's more like the lazy girl's prostitution because she's not actually doing any work. As if she could sound any worse on paper...

I know she probably needs the money. Let's be real, $100,000 bail is hard to come by when you haven't had a real job since your late teens (Herbie Fully Loaded...anyone?). And lawyer fees add up when you've been to jail 3 or more times. But enough is enough Lindsey!

YOU = TRAIN WRECK!!!

In any other case I would use the old sarcastic adage, "Oh I bet her mother is just so proud."

But in this case I can't, because you know somewhere outside of the Playboy Mansion Dina Lohan is laughing all the way to the bank counting her precious monies.

I really do feel sorry for Lindsey. She clearly has major problems. I do not, however, feel sorry enough to buy her issue of Playboy for two reasons. 1) I like the men. 2) After seeing the decayed condition of her teeth in recent court appearances, I don't dare to even think what sort of personal hygiene offenses she's hiding underneath her clothes.

It's No Sacrifice

Good news. I finally found the song that is my perfect range of tone. "Sacrifice", by Elton John.

I have no idea what the lyrics mean, but you can read them and listen to the song here.

I knew I'd never be able to rival Mariah, but who knew that my ideal voice match was a flaming gay man!? I couldn't be prouder.

I'm also really good at making noises like, "AAA, AAAA, A, A, A, A, A", so there's really no surprise here.

Sing with me now!

A Baby's a'Comin

Have y’all seen these recent pics of Jessica Simpson (click here for link to pics)? Even though she still isn’t confirming that she’s pregnant, if she isn’t than homegirl just ate the biggest burrito that Texas has to offer…like 45 days in a row.

The real ass kicker about this story is that she’s allegedly shopping around her big pregnancy reveal for $500,000. After seeing these pictures, if anyone actually decides to pay that much to reveal the most obvious news of the Fall season, that’s just fine, because clearly they just don’t need that $500,000 and are looking for a quick way to get rid of it.

I’m so happy for ya Jess! But let’s call a spade a 2nd trimester spade here and let the cat out of the bag. That cat being the fact that you are really, really, really pregnant.
