Well, tomorrow is Schwan’s day and Laota and I are planning on ice cream! If we each choose one flavor, I know mine will be Confetti Cake because it’s my favorite, but if we each choose two for the week then I think I may try the Praline because I’ve been eyeing it forever and ever.

Last time my second choice was Maple Nut, which was excellent. It’s not too sweet, it’s even sort of mellow sweetness for ice cream, and it’s got a great maple ice cream taste with salty pieces of walnut in it - very nice!

We’re also going to try out that beef-flavored dog ice cream on our cat if the Schwan guy says she can have eat it without any problems.

I’m a candy nut, I’ve always had a taste for sweets, and I’m a fairly sharp candy maker in my own right ( That’s code for I can make a few things, but I want to sound cool, lol. ), but I’ve been hipped to an adorable, old-fashioned web store that I know I’ll be a regular buyer at in the future called Hope and Greenwood.

I’m absolutely in love with their selection, and the old fashioned candies and rations are really going to make excellent gifts, especially with so many holidays coming up. Beltane’s too close to order chocolate and expect it to arrive on time, but the classical lollies and Strawberry and Cream rations are going to be a perfect, small town USA touch to our Independance Day luau - yes, we are having a July 4th luau, lol.

The store’s got a great design, it’s easy to navigate and you’ve got so much to choose from that finding a web store like this is a rare treat, and I think I’m going to get myself some Toffee as soon as it’s back in stock, or some cocoa, but those rations are calling me and as soon as I get paid I think I’m going shopping.
