I know what my rule is. How about yours?
Well, I guess there are two rules. But they work in tandem.
- Only buy gourmet ice cream when it’s on sale.
- When I get home, it is my duty (and I’m not allowed to shirk it) to eat the part of the ice cream that’s softened. Like around the edges and the very top. I am simply not permitted to put the ice cream into the freezer until the softened stuff has been consumed. Sometimes, if I buy two carton-thingies (because it’s on sale and my husband loves ice cream), well, I gotta eat the soft stuff off both!
There’s a reason for this. Who likes refrozen softened ice cream? No one, right?
At least no one in this house….
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
