The office refrigerator will be turned off during the long Christmas weekend, and we’ve been asked to take any perishables home with us at the end of the day today. I have a third of a tub of Breyer’s vanilla bean ice cream in the freezer, and it ain’t gonna keep during my ninety-minute commute home. So I’m forced — forced, I tell you — to eat a lot of vanilla ice cream today.

I already put a scoop in my morning coffee instead of cream — mmmm.
