My Guilty Pleasure

If there ever was a guilty pleasure I have found mine. Its only this special time of year that one can find the glorious treat that is the President's choice Candy Cane Crackle Ice cream. Whats so great about it you ask? Oh let me tell you its a vanilla ice cream that has chunks of dark chocolate, and stripes of mint and lovely chunks of solid candy cane. It is the cadillac of ice creams. I am begining to think that this pregnancy has created some new sort of paranoia about the ice cream.. allow me to explain:

The first time I saw the ice cream this season I was so excited a whole case full of buckets of the lovely stuff. I remained in control and only bought one, I mean it was December 1st its gonna be around for a while right? Anyway a week later I went back to pick up a couple things and I noticed that the ice cream treat freezer bin had gone down by half its stock! Well hello its time for panic, I mean what could this mean? would that be the only supply? Would I wake up one day to find that there was no more? I felt a bead of sweat on my brow and I decided I could not let that happen. So I bought another bucket (even though the other one at home was not even half gone).

Still not that bad you think right? Well every time I now go to the store I take stock of the bin to ensure that the store has not run out. Where there was once maybe 100 cartins there are now only I would say 20. So here is my confession: my husband is going to stop letting me go to Loblaws because everytime I go I come home with another bucket! Right now we have three in our freezer. Im stocking for the long haul here people. If the world ends tomorrow and we can never again have the delight of the candy cane crackle then I will have a supply... however if you think I'm sharing I would have to say its unlikely - in the words of Seinfeld "I haven't a square (or scoop) to spare!

Hurry get it while supplies last!
