Lemon Peel and Coffee Ice Cream
My English Breakfast tea was getting pretty boring. That is, before I added strips of fresh lemon peel to the steeping. Now my mornings are full of excitement. Word.
My last pander to my ice cream addiction was buying a 2-for-1 pair of Edy's containers. Whatever that large cylindrical size carton is...a gallon? No, a quart? Whatevs. I bought one regular and one low-fat carton. I ate the regular carton, of course. In a surprisingly short amount of time. But you see, I purchased coffee ice cream as my second flavor. I needed to inject a little negative feedback into my addiction!
Successful negative feedback: after twice trying to enjoy 1/4 cup of coffee ice cream at night - and then staying up until 2 am dancing around or lifting weights - I decided to try putting three spoonfuls of ice cream into my morning cereal. So I can finally be rid of the crack they call coffee. And I can be extra perky in the morning.
These are spoonfuls, not scoops, mind. A very small serving - more like the true serving size on the ingredients list.
Coffee ice cream and a sliced banana in my cereal reminds me of a milk shake. A milk shake before the blending. But it's very tasty, and I am thankful for that. And I feel like I'm tapering off the ice cream addiction - it's working! I'm out of the evening ice cream habit. That is huge progress. I feel thinner already.
No more purchased containers of ice cream. I may have small servings when I go out, but I cannot buy large containers of it. I wonder if they put heroin in ice cream. Seriously.
