I'm happy that there is no Farrell's near me to tempt me. I have a difficult enough time with temptation as it is. This is one reason why I am thanking God I am nowhere near Lashbear right now. That sounds too too divine and far to sinful. Otherwise, I'd love to come visit the Lashpair!

Haha no I started a diet the week after my birthday. I thought the cake and ice cream part was over!!! (and thanks!)

I noticed in France that people are crazy for ice cream, but it's all served in tiny, little scoops. They're on to something.

I regularly visited Farrell's when I was a kid. And, in fact, had a favorite menu item, known then as a "clown sundae." It was basically an upside-down ice cream cone, served in a dish with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a face made of cherries on the ice cream. Loved those damn things.

Of course, that was the first item I looked for on the new menu, and much to my disappointment, it doesn't appear to have been revived. Not that I really needed to eat one, but I was still hoping it would be there.

Still, I'll probably make a visit to the Mission Viejo location one of these days for a nice stroll down memory lane.

Sooo... we can't take you to Farrell's for a belated birthday Zoo?

Ziggy Piggy Ziggy Piggy ... they should have opened in San Dimas instead of Mission Viejo.

We keep meaning to have a Scoops tasting party.

I, too, prefer a small dose of ice cream, and I like variety. The idea would be to get a small carton of eight flavors or so, and use one of those melon ballers to give everyone just a taste of each of their wild gourmet flavors. Flavor adventure AND moderation! Beautiful thing.

That's right. My family was always worried I'd turn out to be one of them gays.
