the Autumn Leaf
Almost off the stem."
~Jack Kerouac
Three years ago when Ryan and I were in our favorite spot during the month of October (Dillard, GA) I saw some ice cream that I just had to try. It was Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake. I didn't buy it in the grocery store in Dillard, Ga because I figured I'd find it once I was back in Gainesville. WELL, I have looked for three years and haven't ever been able to find it in Gainesville UNTIL today!!! I stopped to pick up something to make for dinner and as I was walking through the parking lot I thought ice cream sounded good tonight (not for dinner - but for after dinner). :-) I found what I was looking for (Breyer's Reese's ice cream...chocolate and peanut butter - it doesn't get much better than that!) and I started walking away. I then did a stutter-step as I turned back around and looked at the Ben & Jerry's section just to check since all of the autumn stuff is now out in the stores. Holy freaking cow - I found it!!! I brought it home and have had just a spoonful so far and it was good! Yay!!! During my quest to find it over the last three years I've found some other pumpkin ice creams from a few different brands and I have always been disappointed...BUT NOT TODAY!! It was just what I've been wanting - and just what I was hoping it would taste like. That just made my day! :-)
Here is a picture of the yummy awesomeness...please excuse the blurry picture. I may or may not have been so excited that I was shaking! :-)

That's fantastic!! I can't wait to try this new ice cream. :) On a side note, the Starbucks at Town Center (near Publix) gave Justin free pumpkin bread this morning & guess who he gave it to? YES! Jennifer & me!
