Food love

I am a food magnet at work. People are always giving me food… and it’s not food I can turn down without seeming rude. Like Joe, the super sweet old man in the copy room (who whistles while he works, Im not kidding) who gave me my absolute favorite kind of donut this morning out of nowhere, or Sherry who gave me a pink almond flavored Busken bakery heart cookie because she said I looked stressed out all week and wanted to make me smile. These aren’t people I can say no to! It’s as if I’m obligated to absorb their kindness through my stomach. After getting the cookie (and eating it and loving it) I texted David and fake complained by saying ”why are people always forcing food on me?!

His answer: Cause they plan on eating you.

Thank you husband, for bringing the real.

"Less sweet and more flavorful"

I have discovered the most amazing ice cream in the entire world: Jenni's Salty Caramel ice cream. Oh my goodness it is the most beautiful bite of cold stuff you will ever have! Jenni's Splendid Icecreams is based out of Columbus, OH but they sell their ice cream through a select number of stores in the Cincinnati area, like Whole Foods and Carl's Deli. The salty caramel is perfect plopped on top of roasted summer peaches, next to a souffle cup full of molten chocolate desert, or just by itself on a cold spoon. Granted, the price for a pint is hefty, but for a good reason. At around $10 a pop it had better be pretty darn good! Here are some other flavors to inspire your taste buds: Queen City Cayenne, Pistachio and Honey,Wild berry Lavender, Corn Syrup Custard with Whiskey and Pecans, Goat Cheese with Cognac Fig Sauce, Lime Cardamom Yogurt, Violets and Meringue, Honey Butter Cake, Dark Chocolate, and Black Coffee.

This is summer will absolutely need to have a pilgrimage to visit a Jenni's store in Columbus, I cant wait :)
