Friday Favorite #4

Tonight was grocery shopping night. I try to only go shopping for food once a month. For one thing, I don't have time to shop every week. For another, it's kind of an adventure to see how long I can make the whole "budgeting food" adventure last. :)

But one thing that I like to do every time I go shopping is to buy one little treat. I have (I've been told) a ridiculously low grocery budget, so there aren't many times when splurging is an option.

But tonight there were a couple of extra bucks left according to the calculator, so I got extra ice cream. A gallon of ice cream is required as a staple to get me through any given month. But tonight I got extra. A box of drumsticks. And don't you know - I had one the very minute the trunk was unloaded and the cold stuff was put away.

I'm not sure what my favorite part is - it's a toss up between the little core of caramel hidden in the middle and that big chunk of chcocolate that parks in the bottom of the cone to keep it from leaking. Oh man, that was a good drumstick. I think there are only five more. I'll have to try to pace myself in the days to come. But rest assured, they'll be gone before the next Friday favorite hits!!
