a carton of ice cream...and then some

"Nothing's a better cure for writer's block 

than to eat ice cream right out of the carton."
— Don Roff

Currently our freezer has seven cartons of Trader Joe's Peppermint Ice Cream inside it.

I am a lover of ice cream and sadly my very favorite flavor can only be bought once a year

so when I saw the last shipment of peppermint at Trader Joe's,

I bought them out.

I have found ice cream to not only be a cure for writers block, 

but for almost anything the day can possibly throw at you. 

Thank you Mr. D for letting me eat it straight out of the carton...

I leave the lid in the freezer (so that it doesnt make a mess on the counter)

and I wrap a big paper towel around the carton, then I

sit on the couch with my knees to my chest and savor every spoonful.

[I realize that one day when I have to set a good example, 

I may have to break this guilty little pleasure of mine - 

and in that case, ice cream is best enjoyed in a big mug or a tall glass]
