Smitten: Yes, Pecan!

Yes, Pecan! Yes, Pecan! Yes, Pecan! Those ice-cream jokesters, Ben & Jerry's, are at it again. They've just released Yes, Pecan! (that's the pee-can pronunciation, get it? oh, puns!) in honor of Barack Obama's victory. Basically, it's a traditional butter pecan ice cream, but a portion of the proceeds go to the Common Cause Education Fund. So, now you can legitimize your Ben & Jerry's fix away - calories be damned! As if you didn't have enough reasons to be completely smitten with Ben & Jerry's.

On a slightly different note, a friend suggested a few flavor concepts to commemorate our much bemoaned 43rd president for the Vermont ice-creamery to contemplate. Here are some of my favorites (legitimate & otherwise):
  • Cluster Fudge
  • Nut'n Accomplished
  • Cookie D'oh!
  • Death by Chocolate... and Torture
  • George Bush Doesn't Care About Dark Chocolate
  • Good Riddance You Lousy Motherfucker... Swirl

Yea for you, Laura!

That is most appropriate. I would eat a pint a day if I thought it would get our economy up and going again!

You are brillant and so creative... keep up the incredible blogging! Oh, and do you make "cooking house calls"???

Love you. Sooz

House calls? Yes. Next time I'm in Texas.

Or if you want to spring for a ticket, I'll just come now!
