Ah, Sunday again. It seems to take ages to get here, then it’s over in a flash. On today’s menu is roast lemon chicken (I know, boring, but everyone likes it), roast baby new potatoes, roast parsnips, peas and sprouts. Annoying little suckers, sprouts are. I mean, I really like them but they take SO long to prepare. I don’t bother with doing that cross at the base (I find it makes them soggy), but just tailing them and taking all the yucky leaves off takes ages. I haven’t bothered with dessert today - there’s still the lemon cake from yesterday and anyway we’re off to the cinema this afternoon to see Open Season, so I’m sure there’ll be plenty of ice cream knocking about. We go to the cinema at the unfeasibly large shopping centre, and they have a Ben and Jerry’s counter - oh what bliss (I can feel another top ten coming on…). It’s as much as I can do to limit myself to three scoops. No wonder my bum looks big on camera…

Okay, here it is, my top ten fave Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavours:

1. Phish Food (chocolate ice cream, gooey marshmallow stuff and little
chocolate fishes!)
2. Strawberry
3. Dublin Mudslide (kind of like Baileys ice cream with cookies in)
4. Cookie Dough
5. Caramel Chew Chew (ooh, lovely little mini rolo-type things in this)
6. Minter Wonderland
7. Chocolate Fudge Brownie (not to be confused with Chocolate Therapy)
8. Cherry Garcia
9. Vanilla Caramel Fudge
10. Chocolate Therapy (chunks of chocolate cookie in this..yum!)

Roll on 3pm, I say.
