I made my daughter laugh out loud today. As she will, she was scrolling through a news feed and announced, calmly, "Ben and Jerry's now has vegan ice cream,"
"What!?" I exclaimed, agog, jumping back.
"Wait," she said, laughing, as she began switching to photo on her phone, "can you do that again?"
I love being a source of entertainment for my daughter and her friends, but I declined this particular command performance. Then I explained my dramatic response to this happy news. Nostalgia: Ben & Jerry's reminds me of my first taste of adulthood, living in the big city as a single girl. It was really out of my budget -- a special treat. When I opted for a vegan lifestyle so very many years later, treats like Ben & Jerry's were among the very few things I did miss. The truth is, for health reasons I've got no business going back down that road. The sugar will addle my brain, I know. Still . . . it's nice to know it's out there! If I try it I'll post a photo and share my thoughts. Check the link:
