My Secret Love Affair

The web, and blogs in general, have become a place for people to confess all kinds of lurid indiscretions and secrets. While I know that this is treading dangerously close to Bri's "Naked Monday" secret revealing posts, I'm convinced that now is the time to let the whole world...including my wife...know about my secret love affair.

I think it is MOST important to get this out of the way, now, because doing so now will give me all the way until the end of the week (Friday is my wedding anniversary), to smooth things over with the wife and hopefully still have a pleasant-as-possible anniversary dinner given the circumstances. (BTW, looking for restaurant suggestions, though I have a few top-shelf ideas already)

The truth is, I've been having a secret love affair for years, now.  I'm sure Dianne suspects, but in the spirit of "truthiness", I've got to just lay it all out there.  The affair was relatively easy to pull off, even though it sometimes happened right under her nose, because my alternate love isn't always in town.

So, deep breath everyone, here it goes. I'm sure those closest to me have probably already guessed who it is:

That's right, I'm somewhat embarrassed to reveal that I am in love with Edy's Seasonal Ice Cream Flavors!

There are two "Girl Scout Cookie" ice cream flavors, "Peppermint" ice cream, and the two big current releases:  "Pumpkin Pie" and "Apple Pie" ice cream.  Oh. My. Gosh!!!  There are even special "American Idol" flavors, though I haven't figured out that connection, since I don't really watch TV (other than COPS and a couple of SciFi shows), so maybe Edy's is a sponsor or something.

From the extra fancy containers to the taste explosions waiting on the inside...they even make me forget (temporarily) about cookie dough flavors, and any variation on "Cherry Chocolate Chunk" (my favorite).

So, now I'm sure I need to comfort my distraught wife and beg my way back into her good graces.  I'm hoping she can understand.  But first, I'm off for a bowl of "Apple Pie" naturally and artificially flavored ice cream.

Life is good!

mmmmm. I can't say I've ever had it, but I'm willing to try....on the sly of course!

What? You male HUSSY you! How can you have an ice cream affair and not include Ben & Jerry's "Chunky Monkey?"

Special dinner? My wife's all time favorite is "The Top of The Riverfront" or whatever it's called these days. We've had many great anniversary dinners there. It's the revolving one on top of the hotel. Leaves her dizzy with luv...

I can't help myself, I always get cookie dough. really, the ice cream doesn't matter so much, it's just a way to get cookie dough into my mouth, even when it's Ted Drew's frozen custard.

not big into seasonal ice cream (vanilla or dulce du leche for me, thanks) but when we were in Fayetteville last fall, we did pick up a quart of Woo Pig Chewy chocolate ice cream with brownie chunks ...

Whatever the daily recommendation is for ice cream, it should be quadrupled! A couple of restaurant suggestions: Chez Leon in the West End or either Cafe Provencale or Blue Water Grill in Kirkwood.
