Day 18

Day eighteen and the livin' is easy. Took my friend "prisoner" to visit one of my new best friends BR lady. We doubled our scoops and got a little education on ice cream. BR lady said the fat in ice cream is good fat and your body metabolizes it pretty efficiently. She also shared as calories go (but who's counting?), it's a pretty smooth little number. She didn't have the perk on coffee but the donut place next door let us imbibe with a cuppa to do the swig-a-melt thing with the ice cream. Do you know how fabulous donuts smell? Do you know how amazing everything smells? I sure didn't know what the nose knows until I set out on this tasty, but non-smelly diet.

I'm in desparate need of a stop at the frozen food section--getting really bored with the home flavs and a warm weekend is coming up. Perhaps I'll do a little research on crankin' some in the home deep freeze--that advocado ice cream recipe is sounding better and better.

Here's some fun facts on ice cream consumption per country and captia

To all you diet prisoners--I'd love to "sorta linger" (some of you wil be dialed in). Be seeing you!
