Thursday Thoughts

Last weekend I finally made it to Millie's Homemade Ice Cream. I'm glad we did because the ice cream was yummy but I'm sad that Millie's is not wheelchair accessible. We parked and I waited in the car while SP ran (literally, so as to not have melted ice cream) and got the ice cream.

I tried the Vietnamese Coffee:

Of course I had to have a waffle cone. I love waffle cones. The ice cream was so tasty. I ate it quickly, not just because it was so good but because it was such a hot day it was quickly melting. I think SP was a little sad that for once in my life I ate quickly.

SP chose Blueberry, Graham, and Lime Curd. He loved it. I liked it, but this is more of an SP flavor than a me flavor. I wish we lived closer / that parking was easier / that it was accessible. It's definitely delicious ice cream.

TV update:

• We finished watching Stranger Things and loved it.
• We were amazed at the eclair nun towers created by the bakers on The Great British Baking Show. One baker flavored hers with bubblegum flavor! These are actually called Religieuse à l’ancienne and are large éclairs, stood upright with no doweling, and decorated with buttercream.
• I was surprised at this week's Animal Kingdom. As the episode progressed, I had a feeling of what would happen, but I was still surprised.
• We started OITNB Season 4.

Movie update:

• We went to see Jason Bourne. I love the Bourne movies. The Bourne books were (are) some of my favorite books. They are some of the first books I read that my dad and grandpa also read. The plot was a little thin, but Matt Damon is still a great Bourne.
• Someone is pretty excited for Suicide Squad this weekend. We'll see if we make it. It's a busy weekend, so this movie might have to wait a week.

Reading Update:

• I read Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly and it was so, so good. I had a hard time picking it up since it is set during World War II and I've read a lot of WWII books lately, but once I started reading, I was hooked.
