Today I, asked Elizabeth exactly what it is that she chooses to substitute in her Cold Stone concoction (same thing , every time!) She informed me she switches the chocolate chips out for PeanutButter cups. Then she expounded, enlightening me to the fact that the chocolate chips are, "just too much chocolate concentrated into one tiny bite!"
I just nodded and agreed as one might when a random woman walks up to you exclaiming, "PurpleMarshmellows" emphatically in your face! Because, you see... the rest of what she was consuming consisted of chocolate ice cream, chocolate fugde, chocolate brownies... and then the substitution: a chocolate peanutbutter cup. yeah! the chocolate chips would totally throw off that otherwaise well established 'balance'!
Otherwise, the afternoon was super-duper fun! We each got a great find/buy. Yumminess entered our tummies. And, more importantly, we talked each other's ears off!
It's so nice to get to be real, sincere, and just raw with someone. Getting much needed confusion off the chest, into wordss, and sent straight up to Heaven in intermittent pleas/prayers. I got her to understand how I don't really understand the whole 'bad boy' phenom. While she enlightened me to the little known fact that "chocolate chips are just too much chocolate concentrated into one small bite!" That and something along the lines of, 'The things I say don't always have meaning!'
good times!
