Vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry?

ice-cream-ispI went out with a friend yesterday and we shared a Wild Crepe. “Wild” is a bit optimistic, actually – there was nothing wild about it except some Kahlua mildly drizzled along with the chocolate sauce. But it was good, with bananas and cantaloupe, whipped cream, and ice cream wrapped inside a nice thin crepe.

Slight hitch in the process: When we got to choose the ice cream, my friend asked, “Vanilla, right?” And I vehemently said, “No!”

She looked at me in surprise. If I’d had a mirror, I’d have looked at myself in surprise. I mean, I don’t hate vanilla, but I didn’t think I actively didn’t want it. It’s vanilla. It goes with almost everything – except yoghurt. I think vanilla yoghurt is kind of gross, actually.

But I thought about it, and I realized, yeah, if I’m paying for ice cream, I’d really prefer something other than just plain old vanilla. Chocolate’s good, but strawberry’s even better. Fruity. Fresh. Pink food colouring. Mmmmmmm.

So my vote goes for strawberry. Which would you prefer? (And if you’re lactose-intolerant, pretend it’s soy frozen yoghurt.)

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.

This kind of publish appears to get yourself plenty of visitors. How will you acquire traffic to that? It provides a fantastic special twist upon issues. I guess having something traditional or possibly substantial to give information on may be the central aspect.

Awesome blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Bless you!

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

Since I dislike strawberries and everything that taste strawberry, and Chocolate icecream never appeal to me eventhough I luuuuve chocolate alone (or in everything else), I would go for vanilla.

I’m with June. Chocolate all the way! And if I do have vanilla, it’s with some yummy hot fudge or chocolate sauce. :)

See, eating ice cream with something else and by itself are two very different things. In this instance, and nearly every instance in which the ice cream would be “going with” something, vanilla. If I am getting ice cream on its own, just for the sake of ice cream, then I’d get something else. A non-chocolate something else. Because I don’t like chocolate ice cream at all.

Leigh: If I am buying it out at the store then it is Haagen Daz Rum Raisin. I love that ice cream. But if I am out at a restaurant with only three choices it is going to be strawberry (but I hate strawberry yogurt). I much rather eat vanilla yogurt then strawberry.

than strawberry. . .

Vanilla is never a first choice for me either. Actually, something like black raspberry or chocolate chip or spumoni—you get the idea. But if all I could choose from were the famous three, then it would be strawberry, I guess.

Chocolate! No question, it’s the hands down winner. I don’t get you vanilla or strawberry people.
