I’m not usually a big fan of ice cream – I think I have it once or twice a year – but earlier this evening my husband and I tooled over to Baskin-Robbins for a tasty treat. If I’m going to eat ice cream, I always try and get mint chocolate chip. This time, however, I ordered a milkshake in the flavor and it was sheer bliss. It was perfect end for a hot day, and a nice reward for the hours of slog I put in front of the computer this afternoon.

 

My husband chose the New York Cheesecake milkshake flavor, and we also ordered two servings of one-scoop ice cream (one vanilla and the other butter pecan) for our pooches. I know sweets are unhealthy for canines, so I only allow Foofer the treat once or twice a year, and then in small amounts. Our puppy Rainee is new to the household, and this was her first go-round with vanilla ice cream. She was of course delighted, and once finished simply wanted more.
