Best Moment(s) of the Week: This was not a great week... worked way too much and got home way too late everyday. That said, when I got home from work Friday (2 hours after I wanted to be home) B told me to look in the freezer and what did I see???Yes those pictures tell the truth -- he found me Jeni's Queen City Cayenne ice cream all the way out here in MA. This place is one of my favorite spots in Columbus and we went there frequently when I was living there completing residency training. The flavors are all so awesome but no matter what else I might have wanted to try I always made sure to get a scoop of this delicious chocolate delight. It is like the smoothest, richest chocolate ice cream with just enough cayenne to make your mouth/throat tingle. It's cold and sweet and spicy and just about the best thing that you can imagine. We had been looking online at how to get it shipped but the shipping was more than the cost of the ice cream so that seemed a little silly. Apparently in B's search he found a way to locate stores that carry Jeni's products and he found one a couple of town's over and Friday he went and bought two pints for me. I was so excited I jumped up and down in the kitchen.
Well after that excitement we went to the grocery store and got stuff to make salmon for dinner and then we came home and tried our hand at sous vide salmon... by the time we ate dinner and cleaned up it was already 9pm and I was exhausted. We tried to stay up to watch an episode of Good Eats off the DVR but I fell asleep and when B woke me up we went upstairs and it wasn't until after I'd brushed my teeth that I realized I didn't even get to eat any of my ice cream :-( sadness. Nevertheless, Saturday I waited until a respectable 1:30pm and broke into it and it was just as good as I had remembered! I had to use a lot of restraint to not just eat a whole pint in one sitting. So, as you can see by my long discussion of this ice cream -- this gift from my wonderful husband was the best thing this week. And I'm pretty sure baby boy liked it too :-)
What I am Looking Forward To: I am excited to be in the third trimester. I feel like I have a lot to do still but I'm getting the baby stuff washed today and hopefully will get the pediatrician situation sorted out within the next week or so. I also need to start calling the nanny candidates on my list. And I need to get thank you notes out to everyone for all the amazing gifts we have received! It is going to be a busy 13 more weeks I think.
