@jakedduck1 I sympathize with you. I love ice cream but never eat it anymore. My husband has what is considered to be a terrible diet, has either chocolate ice cream or something like a turnover every night, croissants for breakfast, and is as healthy as can be at 85 - no pills, nothing wrong with him, just good genes I guess. I hope our kids get his genes, not mine.

@lioness I make chocolate chip cookies and fill them with vanilla ice cream. I have a whole assembly process going when I do that. They're so good that when one of my nephews graduated from HS he told his mother to ask me if I would give him a whole bag of them for himself!

@imallears Ahh, another one of my husband's vices. He loves Napoleons. When we go to Boston we often go to the North End where the Italian restaurants and bakeries are. He loads up on Napoleons and cannolis. His father was an Italian pastry chef. The cannolis have to be the kind with a pudding filling, not ricotta. I think that's Sicilian style but they are hard to find. The biggest bakery in the North End has them. That place always has a line out the door.
