I haven’t been to Jeni’s, but I bought a few pints at the grocery store ($9.99 a pint!!!) and I bought her cookbook when Border’s went out of business. So far I’ve made the salted caramel, the basic base with a jar of dark chocolate/raspberry sauce swirled in, and the Gorgonzola Dolce. Just froze up the pear sorbet, and next week it’ll be pistachio or the goat cheese with roasted cherries. Or the cream cheese ice cream from this month’s Southern Living Magazine. ---

What’s in like to wake up in a pool of your own well made bed with a bottle of nice wine in the recycling bin, no cell phone history of calls to ex-lovers and a message board full of people who don’t know any more about you than they did before? > > Take a good look at yourself!

But since you want the salacious details…there were no jammies, I never made my bed in the morning so it wasn’t made at night, I Skype’d with the SO before he sent me off to sleep (so you can imagine anything you’d like), I wisely do not keep ex’s numbers in my phone because I know my limits, and while I did stagger to the bathroom, I have no idea if I used the toothbrush or not. And I didn’t have jammies on then, either! So there! Oh, and I’m enjoying a frozen blackberry merlot right now. ---

It can be the best of times; it can be the worst of times. The worst is much more likely, but the best of times sure are fun too. In any case, there’s only one way to find out! ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > Shoehorn butterhorse. Horseshoe butterhorn… Now I want to make pastries. I have no useful advice for posting while intoxicated, because although I can type in my sleep, regularly type out what I’m actually SAYING with my fingers, and have been doing so for over 30 years…I can’t type while drunk. I..just cannot do it. So I’m lucky. 🙂 By the way, **KittenBlue** , do not ever post where you live when drunk. Or sober. Because I will be there raiding your delicious wine-cabinet before you can say “Hey, where’s my booze?!” That all sounds SO delicious; share recipes if you have them, pretty please? It will reduce the possibility of booze-thieves 🙂 ---

Don’t be like me and mix up ‘bookmark all tabs’ with ‘close all other tabs’. I blame Firefox for putting them right next to each other. ---

I thought some parts of the post were as tactile as what’s considered “good writing.” At least Charles “Barwoszzkiii”…_Barfly_ and Hunter S. Thompson would be proud.
