Addiction LXXVIII

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The only needed ice cream is chocolate vanilla swirl.

We've been working with Twin Six on our new club kit and, a few weeks ago, I sent an email over inquiring about bandanas, suggesting that they'd sell well if they had some that match some of their kit designs. The owner said that they didn't have anything, but that it was a great idea.

Not too gloomy for me, but I was not impressed needing to wear a thermal base layer, long sleeve jersey, and ear coverings in May

Also, I got you by .01 mile in distance today You win with your extra 300' of climbing though.

In looking up Phish Food, I see that they also make Americone Dream, which might be an acceptable substitute for Edy's Coney Island Waffle Cone, which was a favorite that I haven't seen in forever.
I'm the sort who needs to be kicked in the face with flavor, and their vanilla-based ones just don't have enough to justify the calories. Half Baked was rescued when they made the Peanut Butter version.

This one called for 3 parts honey to 1 part water, though I've seen others say 1:1. Warm and stir until combined.

Here's the article where I found it - https://www.whiskyadvocate.com/gold-...cktail-recipe/

Wonder if one or both of the couple who lives next door has allergies. As usual, they’ve already started using their central air despite it being perfect open window weather.

Plus the base ice cream should be flavorful.

I loves me some ice cream, but you can keep the nuts, caramel, and rocky road varieties.
