EIS!

WE LOVE EIS! Not everyone loves ice cream in this house. I can't always eat it, for complete unspeakable reasons! Sweet Pea doesn't really like it, she would rather have a slushi. Corn Niblet loves any kinda of junk food so it's hard to take her opinion that seriously. The J man can take it or leave it, and I mean literally leave it in the freezer for weeks on end and then have the audacity to ask where it is when he finally decides he wants some! Really? That had been calling my name consistently for a couple days so I just went ahead and ate it all to shut it up (I had to pay the price, but it's worth it!)! Why does this shock him after 12 years? Anyway, by that time it would have been freezer burnt and inedible so I actually did him a favor by not letting food go to waste.

Well here we all LOVE it! Except for the J man, but he's always in a category all by himself (I believe some people call it solitary confinement, but we just call it his "special time"!). I don't even get chocolate, I can't get past Mango! I try what everyone else gets and then I get Mango. I will move on to other flavors eventually because we have been places that [gasp!] don't have mango and I have been forced to get melon or banan and even schokolade, but I don't feel completely satisfied unless I get mango.

Anyway, I got side tracked on my flavor routine. ...it seems that German eis is a mixture of American style ice cream and Italian Gellato. It could be pureed kitty litter for all I care, it's that good. The J man doesn't think so, he likes the American milky, creamy ice cream. But using less milk and more whatever they use, allows me to pretty much eat as much of the stuff as I want. And the flavors are incredible. It taste like they've blended up a mango (melon, banan, whatever) and put it on a cone!

I think we've made it our unspoken goal (that "we" would be the girls & I obviously) to go to every single Eis place in a 50 mile radius! Thank goodness you can get a small cone (klein kegel) for -,60 euro because at many places I've been scrounging in the bottom of my purse for enough money to get some! [it's that cash issue that I've yet to really talk about, figure out, or fix. Small small detail the whole having money for things!]
