When will I eat you again? November 21, 2008

Ahhhh…..YES.
One of the very first items my hubby and I bought when we first stepped into the supermarket here is the Häagen-Dazs ice cream. They come in tubs of 1 quart each. For those who are imperial-system-challenged, 1 quart is equivalent to about 2 pints. And a pint is the size we normally see in Malaysian supermarkets. In the US, they sell Häagen-Dazs ice cream in smaller sizes too, but we get the quart size cuz that’s more economical.
Anyway, 1 quart of Häagen-Dazs ice cream costs about USD6.99. Isn’t that awesome? And last weekend, we stumbled on a grocery store that was selling it at USD4.99 or something, so obviously I stocked up.
In any case, those tubs are still sitting pretty in the freezer, while I wait for my cough to recover completely. Knowing fully well my passion to always “fight fire with fire”, hubby has strictly barred me from ice cream and cold drinks till I say bye-bye to my cough. Can’t even have my favorite strawberry milkshake now….SIGH.
Oh, how I miss my ice cream!

Hehe.

The Giddy Tigress says: The tahaning part was hard, though it paid off in the end.

wow..if im earning USD, $6.99 would just be like buying a tub of Wall’s crappy ice cream here in m’sia
The Giddy Tigress says: You’re right…LOL. I have also taken to adding a bit of whipped cream to my ice cream now.
Another one we “sapu” when we were in the US was Godiva! Try the Belgium Dark Chocolate, it’s yummy!
The Giddy Tigress says: Oooh, we aren’t really chocolate people though. But I am rather afraid to try, in case I get hooked too! Hehe… now you’ve got me thinkin’….
Last time it was $4.99 for 2 during promotion. More expensive now? Emm…Godiva is cheaper in US? I am going to get some, with fren’s help.
The Giddy Tigress says: Are you sure the $4.99 for 2 is for the quart-sized ice cream?
I want Haagen Dazs too! But like you, I have a cold/cough.
The Giddy Tigress says: Hope your cold/cough’s better now, dearie.

Though I find it hard to resist NOT taking more now.

The Giddy Tigress says: You poor dear…hope your cough recovers soon too!
