I'm distraught! ?

Yes, I know it's 10.35pm, but I just fancied a bowl of ice cream (as one does) thought there was some double chocolate in the freezer, not my favourite, after intensive research I've decided the locally made honeycomb is the best. grin

So, I get a bowl and a spoon, as I like to be prepared. Furtle around in the bottom drawer of the freezer, which is where the ice cream is usually to be found.

Discover a tub of the right size, (1 litre) and with great anticipation, well, moderate, as I'm sure it's not my favourite because I've eaten all of that one.blush

I prise off the lid, and what do I find??

Bloody lentil soup sad

??That reminds me - got to get a bowl and spoon and dig into my Madagascan Vanilla ice cream, before I go up to bed ?

Sorry!
I could have offered you a nice bowl of Kelly's with home-made blackberry coulis earlier.
But we ate it all, sorry.

Phoenix what a shame you’ve run out of ice cream.
I agree honeycomb is really good. Very creamy and crunchy. I like those bits of honeycomb and the ice cream so smooth and rich. It’s really yummy......in fact I think I might go and get some out of my freezer now.....I might have a scoop of chocolate too.
Enjoy your lentil soup Phoenix ????

It’s the work of your Guardian Weight Angel Phoenix ?
So don’t disappoint her! Put that spoon and bowl away and take a Ryvita from the cupboard instead.

Callistemon Fri 04-Sept-20 22:55:29

Welsh Gold
Yum!
Nearly as good as Clogau.

Callistemon Fri 04-Sept-20 22:55:50

Rybloodyvita?

TwiceAsNice Fri 04-Sept-20 22:57:38

I feel your pain Phoenix! However it might have given you indigestion at this time of night!!! Have a nice cup of tea instead and buy yourself a GIANT new tub tomorrow. It’ll be worth the wait!

lemongrove Fri 04-Sept-20 22:58:10

Oh yes! I always have a Ryvita with my mint tea round about now.?

phoenix Fri 04-Sept-20 23:07:30

Thank you all!

I must have made the soup during one of my "Domestic Goddess" moments. grin

Still, I've managed to assuage my disappointment with a soothing glass of Cava wink

Callistemon Fri 04-Sept-20 23:09:19

Really, lemongrove?
I mean, honestly?

lemongrove Fri 04-Sept-20 23:11:06

Nope ?

Doodle that's not funny! (phoenix wanders off muttering about insult to injury, call yourself a friend, hope your ice cream gives you that freezy feeling etc)

lemongrove Fri 04-Sept-20 23:12:06

Have some hot buttered toast Phoenix possibly with marmite.

Nortsat Fri 04-Sept-20 23:15:31

Phoenix, the women on this thread are a disgrace ... Welsh Gold ... honeycomb ... Madagascan Vanilla ...
They are all sadists ... they know that all you’ve got is lentil soup ... and incidentally all I have is a glass of water ...

I had thought better of Doodle, flaunting her honeycomb (and an extra scoop of chocolate). Calistemon has no shame ... and Lemongrove needs a radical rethink about Ryvita.

Phoenix, this will teach us, that if you trust people and they just betray you, viciously ... ????

I've got 2 Peppa Pig lollies in the freezer if you'd like to share? They look pretty gross but I'm assured that they have no additives, colouring or flavour.

phoenix Fri 04-Sept-20 23:28:06

I know Nortsat, I come here, expecting support and sympathy, and what do I get? Doodle rubbing her honeycomb in my face!

(Actually, I wish she was, I might be able to lick a bit off!)

Doodle Fri 04-Sept-20 23:33:39

???? delicious.......I might just have another scoop ?

phoenix Fri 04-Sept-20 23:35:52

angry

Doodle Fri 04-Sept-20 23:36:36

I might add some chocolate sprinkles on top too. Perhaps break up a Crunchie bar in it and make a honeycomb sundae.
Couple of mini marshmallows......and a big swirl of cream on the top. Now that’s what I call ice cream. ?

Doodle Fri 04-Sept-20 23:39:45

Sorry Phoenix would you like some ? ???
Oh I appear to have eaten it all.
I’ve got a tub of frozen chicken stock in the freezer if you want that..........or some carrots. ?

Pantglas2 Sat 05-Sept-20 06:35:46

I think Doodle should be Ice Cream Monitor......?

Nortsat Sat 05-Sept-20 06:45:36

Phoenix, now we’ve seen another side to Doodle ...

And I notice Chewbacca had to get her Peppa Pig lollies into the frame ...

I tell you Phoenix, these women need watching ...
