Yippeee! It’s Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s. I’m oh so very excited – umm not really. I don’t do ice cream. I’m just a little excited though because this is a great day for so many people. I’m also a little sad because there are a lot of women "watching their weight" who either won’t partake in the celebration or will partake and then berate themselves about it for the rest of the week.
As someone who spends her life encouraging people to make healthy food choices, I’m encouraging you to go and enjoy a free cone and leave the guilt outside the door. Moderation is a good thing. An occasional fun food splurge is healthy. Have the ice cream cone, get some exercise and reduce your calorie intake a wee bit in other areas of the day if you really must.
If I was going to have a cone, which I’m not, it would probably be the Chocolate Fudge Brownie (did you know they have an organic version now?) because it brings back nice memories … or maybe the Karamel Sutra because that also brings back some umm memories. What’s your favorite flavor? Any special B&J ice cream memories in your life?

I had a friend coming to visit me in Montreal. It was a hot Sunday summer night so we walked over to B&J’s for waffle cones. Afterwards we needed a place to sit so we wandered up to Sherbrooke and sat on the steps of Musee des Beaux Arts and ate our cones next to a giant vagina. lol
Heh, now that’s a B&J memory. Sheesh.
