I am partial to anything involving praline myself, but a scoop of vanilla on the side is a perfect complement. I prefer other things vanilla, too, I'm too old and tired for anything complicated.

I love this - love Casey going off on a rant (this is the man who gave us the whole cake speech, after all - and, mmm, vanilla ice cream and choklit cake, yum!); and Dan, so patiently sitting and letting it wash all over him. For he is Dan.

Rocky Road, though. F'reals?

I've never actually had a mallomar. Crap, guess what I'm going to spend my day looking for?

Thanks, btw. Always appreciated.
