I can go two days without. On the third, I start craving.
As dinner ends, I shoot puppy dog eyes the length of the table, broadcasting my desire, and my husband wilts, then gives in, because after all, it’s his addiction, too.
Taut nerve ends relax into the alchemy of butter and cream and sugar, poured over frozen, creamy decadence spackled with chewy dark yumminess.
There must be a penance to be paid for heaven on a spoon. It will come tomorrow morning, when I step on the scales.

mmm ‘Taut nerve ends relax into the alchemy of butter and cream and sugar’
Yum! 🙂
I adore ice cream. I don’t know whether to be angry or thankful that my husband doesn’t crave it nearly as much as I do 🙂
I love this line, too:

And now I want ice cream for breakfast 🙂
If only I wasn’t pregnant, I might whip up some brownies and ice cream myself! LOL
Hee! Love the beautiful, poetic words describing something so, so very delicious!
Been there, girl… been there. 😉 I’m hungry now. Well, I’m always hungry, but I’m specifically hungry for ice cream. Thanks for that. 😉
I love that your husband shares your addiction!! And I love DQ!
ha ha This actually made me crave ice cream – DQ soft serve is my favorite!
Ice cream, my weakness. well done. Alchemy, what a great word.
Yum! And the weather should be warm and sunny enough here to not feel like an idiot when I stop at DQ on my way home today :).
I love DQ… especially just a plain cone. I love the smooth creamy vanilla. Now, I do love a Blizzard too!
I don’t care if it’s 9:30 in the morning. I want a Chocolate XTreme Blizzard RIGHT NOW.
Chocolate Extreme is my weakness. 🙂 Except it has to be a well-made one. I’m very picky about my Blizzards these days.
It’s a REALLY good thing we no longer have a DQ close to us! ha! You’re right, SO good! 🙂
I haven’t met an ice cream I haven’t loved.
Great piece!
I need a blanket “like” button for all these comments today. You all make me very happy!
Oh, my… I need a fan. You made that ice cream downright sexy.
nom. ode to ice cream. i love you. 🙂
You have such a wonderful way with words, Kathleen! Ice cream is my absolute weakness, and now you have me melting!
Near where I live we have a family-owned ice cream shop that makes THE BEST ice cream I have ever had. It is perfection on a cone. Although DQ still comes at a close second!
