There's a new ice cream out called Halo Top that is not bad at all. The entire pint of vanilla has only 180 calories, the birthday cake has 280 for the entire pint and I think the most calories any pint has is 380. Of course, it isn't a premium ice cream like Ben and Jerry's, but there's a lot less guilt to eating the entire pint of Halo Top. One tip - the pistachio tastes like vanilla with pieces of pistachio in it. I gave up eating Oreos when Nabisco sold out that product line to a Mexican company.
I was expecting the pistachio to taste more like the nuts rather than like vanilla with nuts in it. Otherwise, it was really good and I don't feel so guilty when I finish the pint. :) The other good ice cream is Skinny Cow. I like the ice cream pops and they are lower in calories, too, but not as low as Halo Top.
A thunderstorm is approaching. It reminds me of the time when a bolt of lightning struck a tall power pole over on the neighbor's property. The weeds were very dry and started to burn at the base of the pole. It started to smoke up the area like a wildfire. Suddenly it was out as the rains began.
I'm scrolling through the new questions and pondering which ones I should answer, what my answers should be, and whether I already have photis to go with them or if I need to search for new ones.
