So Disappointed in Him

[geminigirl]

My spouse decided he wanted to be responsible for purchasing Halloween rations this year. I agreed...I assumed that he was going to be reasonable about it. I knew he wanted lollipops, and he couldn't find the ones he wanted at one grocery store, so he said he'd pick it up on the way home yesterday. I thought that was fine, and he did. I just looked at what he bought and there is not one bit of chocolate in the Halloween candy.

None. Not a piece.

I think I may need to demand some on the way home.

Carvel chocolate crunchies are the bomb! Man, now I want a Carvel ice cream cake!! Remember the song from the commercials? Caaar-vel iccccce cream...

We used to get Carvel cakes at the Shoppers in Potomac Yard - they were damn good, but nothing like a fresh Cookie-puss from the local Carvel.

Oh and only a man would be Halloween candy and forget the chocolate!

Would you believe that we live about 20 minutes from a Carvel right now?

And did I ever tell you about my family connection to Carvel?

NO WAY! I don't think I've lived near a Carvel since I left CT 14 years ago. I am so jealous. Are they prevalent in Florida? I'm going to Sarasota for Thanksgiving, maybe I can score some Carvel there.

And no, I didn't know you were related to Carvel!

I don't know how prevalent they are here, but we found one in Atlanta. There's one in Bradenton, but I have no idea how close that is to where you're going to be.

And not related, but my mom's father was a bigwig in the early days of refrigeration and freezer stuff. He worked with Tom Carvel to develop his first ice cream freezers. So, that's the family connection. It's a running joke every time we get Carvel to rub our bellies and say "Mmmm, thanks Grandpa."
