Sweet Seduction

by Leslie

Have you seen this?

I spotted it in the grocery store on Sunday and was overwhelmed with lust. I abandoned my usual penny-pinching, bargain hunting ways and without even looking at my coupons or the price tag, I reached into the freezer to make this mine. Even at the check out, when they informed me that I may need to mortgage my house to afford it, I didn’t hesitate. I had to have it. I’m not sure what that says about me.

I sped home and burst through the door, holding the treasure high shouting, “Dave! Dave! Come and see what I’ve got!”

My enthusiasm piqued his interest enough to pull him away from the voodoo spell of Madden 2007 and into the kitchen where I was bouncing and holding out the carton. He looked at the carton, then at me, then at the carton and said, “What?”

I moved closer and shook it vigorously.

“It’s ice cream,” he said flatly.

“It’s American Idol Ice Cream.”

“Cool.” He was unimpressed.

“But, Dave. It’s ice cream with American Idol on it. And it sounds good, too. Listen to this: ‘yellow cake flavored light ice cream with blue frosting swirl and multicolored sprinkles.’ Yummy.”

“Yeah. Sounds good,” he said walking away.

“And with only half the fat!” I yelled after him, but he was gone.

Later, Dave returned from his football binge to find me snuggling up on the couch with a heaping bowl of gimmickry. He looked at me and said, “Leslie, American Idol isn’t even on. You should eat it while you watch the show.”

But it was too late. I couldn’t hear him over the sound of endorphins rushing into my blood stream, laughing and cheering as they rode the pleasure wave to my brain.

American Idol or no, this is some good stuff. You may want to buy some. There are other flavors, but this one “Takes The Cake.” (Hee hee.) You can also vote for your favorite flavor for a chance to win tickets to the American Idol finale.

Speaking of singing contests…have you entered the Mom Idol Online Singing Contest? Don’t forget to vote for the song I should sing to enter, too!

Looks like ice cream to me too.

Glad you like the slow churned stuff. I have not tried it yet because it seem like the low fat stuff usually means you’re eating a sponge. I might have to try it now.

What is yellow cake flavour? We don’t have that here.

I dislike cake.

I tried this.

I absolutely freaking loved it to the point that I actually banned myself from purchasing it ever again.

It does “sound” good–and that slow churned stuff is golden. Fantastic. I love ice cream.

So……it turns you into Ruben Studdard?

I love ice cream too, but don’t think I would find that type here!

I am not a big AI fan, but holy cow that ice cream has to be mine too!

Can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I’ve never seen American Idol. Yes, really.

But that slow churned ice cream they make is goooood.

Oh my gosh, I think I have to make that mine, too. Another blogger I read mentioned something about cake batter ice cream awhile back, and I remember thinking that it sounded like HEAVEN. The fact that this has sprinkles - colored sprinkles at that! - makes it even more tempting.

(What is it with me and pastel-colored food? I’m going gaga over all the pretty Easter candy recently…)

OH! I almost bought this LAST NIGHT. I so wish I would have. Great. I have to go to the store now.
