truman powder.
4mc.
last night during the yankee romp (8-4) i took some häagen-dazs out of the freezer, then some nesquik powder out of the cabinet, to sprinkle on my bowl of ice cream. friends jph and ijd were aghast, while ddr explained that that's just something i do.
this was not the first time people have been shocked by this practice. but these reactions are always surprising to me, and im not saying that b/c i think putting chocolate powder on ice cream is not so different than the socially acceptable practice of putting chocolate syrup on ice cream - though i certainly do think that.
im always surprised b/c i forget that this is not what everyone does. growing up, my dad - a chocoholic and ice cream fiend - put quik powder on his ice cream all the time. so i've always done it myself, never thinking it strange. (rather, that it's delicious.) this reminds me of a great quote in the truman show, delivered by ed harris's christof: We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented.
btw, for those of you who want to try this at home, i recommend häagen-dazs coffee ice cream. it's a perfect combo.
lastly, imdb informs me that today is charlton heston's birthday; he's 82. despite the fact that chuckie apparently used to be a classy liberal, the recent school shootings in this country and abroad stoke my belief that the world is not a better place for counting this gun-toting, anti-abortion old bastard among its members. (im not against guns per se - though i prolly am; im more against people against gun control.) go down, moses.

cheese + rice is my oddity.
hhmmm...I am going to try this.
Speaking of Heston, I would like to see href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colbys" target="_blank">this show, with the same actors but in a John Malkovich-fashion; a world where everyone plays Colby and there is a shortage of Chocolate Nesquik.
ok that didn't work like I was hoping.
Isn't cheese and rice a "San Francisco treat"?
Cheese and rice? What kind of cheese? its kinda like mac and cheese, no?
Nesquick and coffee ice cream sounds delicious.
it's kind of like mexican food. but with asian rice.
as a child i used kraft singles.
ew. :D
We always ate pretzels dipped in ice cream: Rold Gold Pretzels and Haagen Daz vanilla. The pretzels are sort of like spoons, that you can eat.
