The vegan bacon clip.

Okay, before everyone criticizes me for the childish, insensitive, and low form of humor in the video below, I just want to say that my son and his friends have been encouraging me to watch the television show, Parks and Recreation, which I have refused to do because I don't want to encourage that sort of thing.

Neverthless, I am posting the video in the hopes that he will see that I have made some concession to his interests.

I do not condone or endorse this kind of behavior.

Then again, I do like bacon.

The Ice Cream Issue, Summer, 2011

Ice cream and Jersey cow from Woodside Farm Creamery in Delaware

I say it every year, I'll say it again: I love ice cream, especially in the summer -- and if I could have a bowl of peach ice cream every night (or vanilla bean, or rocky road, or bing cherry, or butter almond) without gaining weight I would, but I can't so I don't.

This ice cream issue, I bring to your attention the Food and Wine Magazine article (via Yahoo) titled: "America's Best Ice Cream Cities." In the article Food and Wine highlights privately-owned ice cream parlors, creameries, and dairies around the country that make good ice cream.

If you travel and you like ice cream, America's Best Ice Cream is worth a look: Best Ice Cream. I was happy to see my home state get a mention, Hockessin, Delaware's, Woodside Farm Creamery. Just a few of the other cities mentioned: Scottsdale (Stephen), Denver (RJG), Minneapolis (Jake&Becca), New Orleans, and many more.

In Fort Worth, I still like Blue Bell and Braum's.

I wish it would rain . . .

No one quite like David Ruffin and the Tempations by the way. At least for those of us who grew up in the Philly area in the '60's.
