the most forbidden place on earth: cold stone creamery

[Guest guest]

my husband and i went to a movie last night and afterwards he wanted to get some

ice cream, and i was up for that, and what was right there-- cold stone

creamery.

now I have NEVER set foot in a cold stone creamery. i only buy light ice cream

at home. on the very rare occasion i am with people who want to get ice cream,

i would be very nervous and then only get a teeny tiny sorbet or some such

thing. because, if you know cold stone creamery, their ice cream is like the

highest-fat highest-calorie substance on earth.

but i was trying to think in an IE way, in terms of satisfaction. so i got a

MEDIUM of the FULL FAT ice cream. the cheesecake flavor. and i ate about half

and threw the other half out, because it was good but like liquified cheesecake.

this probably seems pretty minor but it is a huge first for me. i haven't had

" premium " ice cream since i was a kid, if even then because my parents wouldn't

have bought it. it is hugely forbidden. i never really wanted it either, in

the same way i never wanted to own an airplane, it was just so out of the

question. it does make me wonder if I bought the ben and jerry's, would i eat

less overall than if I bought the light stuff. but i think i really do like the

light stuff better. it's more refreshing.

anyway, just so you all know -- i went into a cold stone creamery and came out

alive!
