Nice.
With the smokes out of my life..the cravings are running rampant.
Tonight, Pumpkin Pie.
Got it, ate it. (half)
I scream for ice cream.

Have it with lunch, enjoy.
I love it, it is a good thing for my job or I'd be huge,
lots of walking and good ole' fashion work.
Local dairy farms are pretty scarce in the DC area (there were plenty in
the area of Massachusetts where I grew up), so I default to Ben &
Jerry's. Pretty close to the real thing.
That reminds me...B&J Dublin Mudslide in the fridge...
In the desert in mid- August, lemon sorbet is divine.
If you can Turkey Hill, thats good too.

Indulge the inner kid in you.
We have a local dairy that makes the best ice cream in our screwed-up
Creation. Calder's Dairy http://www.calderdairy.com/ still home
delivers in this day and age. My fav is their Chocolate, Chocolate
chip, the frickin' best.
Jimmy, you still off of the fags? I send good wishes for the best of
returning health to you. Honey-Bunz from Deeeetroit's cancer was

Best & Worst Ice Cream in AmericaBy David Zinczenko, with Matt
Goulding - Posted on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, 11:38 am PST Eat This, Not
That
by David Zinczenko, with Matt Goulding a Yahoo! Health Expert for
Nutrition
Ice cream is as American as apple pie (it's no wonder the two so often
go hand-in-hand). Unfortunately, so is obesity--a 2009 report found
that overweight and obesity rates have remained steady or increased in
every single state of the nation over the last year. The good news is
that you can help fight this epidemic without sacrificing life's small
indulgent pleasures. That's the entire premise behind Eat This, Not
That!
Here, you'll learn how to indulge more often but with less damage. The
writers of Eat This, Not That! 2010 have uncovered the 7 worst ice
creams in America. Avoid them and choose their equally delicious--but
much healthier--counterparts, and you'll be able to indulge and enjoy
while losing weight too!
Worst Fruity Scoop
Cold Stone Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream (Love It size)
530 calories
30 g fat (20 g saturated, 1 g trans)
52 g sugars
The Love It size at Cold Stone is about 8 ounces, which is equivalent
to ordering two scoops at Baskin-Robbins or Ben & Jerry's. Order any
ice cream in this size and you can expect to spoon down about a day's
worth of saturated fat. One extra hint: Toppings can make or break an
ice cream. Most of the cookies and candy bars at Cold Stone have
between 100 and 200 calories per serving, so limit the indulgent
toppings to Nilla Wafers and yellow cake. Fruits and nuts, of course,
are always your safest bets.
Bonus tip: Cold Stone is no stranger to our list of the 15 Worst
Desserts in America. See what other cold treat you should avoid!
Eat This Instead!
Tart and Tangy Yogurt (Love It size) topped with Yellow Cake and
Blueberries
320 calories
2.5 g fat (0.5 g saturated)
48 g sugars
Fattiest Scoop
Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream (1/2 cup)
340 calories
24 g fat (12 g saturated)
24 g sugars
There's only one peanut butter ice cream in the country with more
calories than this one, and that's Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut
Butter. But as far as saturated fat goes, this one is the national
loser. Luckily, one of the most popular flavors turns out to be one of
the best on the menu. Just don't eat too much, or you might develop a
gut like Jerry's!
Bonus tip: Not all desserts are huge dietary disasters. See what
delicious postdinner delights made our list of the 39 Best Foods in
America. These winners will surprise you--and keep you thin and
healthy!
Eat This Instead!
Cherry Garcia Ice Cream (1/2 cup)
200 calories
11 g fat (8 g saturated)
20 g sugars
Worst Supermarket Scoop
Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream (1 scoop)
360 calories
24 g fat (11 g saturated)
24 g sugars
Still the single worst ice cream we've ever encountered. You'd have to
chew your way through five Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to consume the
amount of saturated fat in one scoop of this. On the flipside, while
Haagen-Dazs's new Five line isn't quite lean, we applaud it
nonetheless for its commitment to simple, timeless recipes. Every
flavor has exactly five ingredients, which leaves no room for
artificial coloring or cheap, corn-derived fillers. Hooray.
Bonus tip: Don't shy away from chocolate altogether. Cocoa packs
serious health benefits--read about and other foods with super powers
in 15 Foods that Cure.
Eat This Instead!
Five Brown Sugar Ice Cream (1 scoop)
230 calories
12 g fat (7 g saturated)
23 g sugars
Worst Malt
Dairy Queen Hot Fudge Malt (small)
700 calories
23 g fat (16 g saturated, 1 g trans)
85 g sugars
Drinkable ice cream is nearly as bad an idea as fried ice cream, but
believe it or not, the former tends to be saddled with more sugar and
more fat than the latter. You'd be wise to expunge shakes and malts
from your list of acceptable desserts, and stick with a sundae
instead. At 230 calories apiece, the best sundaes at DQ are the banana
and pineapple flavors--but to quell a serious hankering for chocolate,
try the Hot Fudge Sundae; it's one of the best you'll find anywhere.
Eat This Instead!
Hot Fudge Sundae (small)
300 calories
10 g fat (7 g saturated)
37 g sugars
Worst Sundae
Baskin-Robbins Oreo Outrageous Sundae
1,130 calories
55 g fat (27 g saturated, 1 g trans)
120 g sugars
Outrageous? That's an understatement. Cookie and candy-bar flavors
reign supreme at Baskin-Robbins, and the results are almost always
dismal--here it's a day and a half of saturated fat and 30 spoonfulls
of sugar! If you must have a sundae, limit it to two scoops with a bit
of hot fudge and chopped nuts--that'll run you about 550 calories. But
your best bet at Baskin-Robbins is to stick to scoops to mitigate the
damage of ice cream indulgences. Venture off into sundae and milkshake
territory and you're likely to sacrifice at least half your daily
calories in return.
Eat This Instead!
Oreo Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream (2 scoops) in a Cake Cone
365 calories
18 g fat (10 g saturated)
34 g sugars
Worst Shake
Cold Stone PB&C Shake (Gotta Have It size)
2,010 calories
131 g fat (68 g saturated, 2.5 g trans)
880 mg sodium
153 g sugars
There were dozens of contenders in line for this dishonorable
distinction, but Cold Stone's PB&C is the only drink in America to
stretch across the 2,000-calorie mark. The combination of peanut
butter--good in small amounts, horrendous when liquefied in bathtub-
size quantities--and chocolate ice cream outpaces even the worst
cookie- and candy-strewn shakes that clutter Cold Stone's embarrassing
shake menu. Suck this thing down and you've just blasted away a day's
worth of calories, more than 3 days' worth of saturated fat, and
almost as much sugar as an entire 15-ounce box of Chewy Chips Ahoy!
cookies.
Eat This Instead!
Sinless Strawberry Bananza Smoothie (Love It size)
220 calories
1.5 g fat (0 g saturated)
34 g sugars
Worst Ice Cream Dessert
Outback Steakhouse Chocolate Thunder from Down Under
2,020 calories
88 g saturated fat
161 g carbohydrates
We'll concede that desserts are intended to be decadent, but there's a
dramatic difference between indulgence and recklessness. Add one of
these ice-cream-covered chocolate cinder blocks onto the end of one
meal a week and you're looking at more than 2 extra pounds of body fat
each month! Think that extra flab is just inconvenient? Actually,
according to numerous studies, it increases your risk of developing a
host of conditions from diabetes and high blood pressure to esophageal
cancer. Some of those risks are magnified when you factor in the 4-1/2
days' worth of saturated fat gluing this thing together like toxic
cement.
Eat This Instead: Truth is, Outback doesn't have one dessert under 700
calories. So unless you're splitting it with three other people, skip
dessert at Outback altogether.
