Gift from "Vermont"

The cell phone message I picked up after class said there would be a surprise in the freezer when I got home.

That was all. It is not unusual for The Wife to bring home lunch leftovers when she and her cow-orkers go out (most lunches today will provide dinner for two longshoremen), but that usually goes in the "fridge", and she usually says what it is.

Maybe leftover desert? Unlikely, but time will tell ...

... that it is Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream!



Excellent! And yummy!

We've been looking for it for ages, but all that our store seems to have is Cherry Garcia. She stopped at a store in another part of town, the part where Suburban SUV Moms and Commuter Lawyers live, and hit the jackpot. Some combination of demographics (our store is mostly college students and middle income families) and timing (middle of the day in the middle of the week) did the trick.

Postscript:
Should have called this a "Gift from the 802". You can find lots of snow and get a really fine maple cutting board from "the 906", but "the 802" can't be beat for ice cream!
