I’m a sucker for Ben & Jerry’s. I like ice cream, but I love love love Ben & Jerry’s. My favourites are Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Half Baked (a mix of the previous two). But then I came across a list of the retired flavours… Oh My God! Some of these combinations just sound so perfect!

Here are a couple of the retired ice creams:

Aloha Macadamia
Milk Chocolate Cashew Brazil Nut Butter Ice Cream with Macadamia Nuts in White & Dark Fudge & a Milk Chocolatey Swirl
 
Baklava
Sweet Cream Ice Cream with Praline Walnut Baklava Pieces & a Honey-Caramel Swirl

Tennessee Mud
Coffee Ice Cream with Amaretto, Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey and Roasted Slivered Almonds

Wavy Gravy
Caramel Cashew Brazil Nut Ice Cream with a Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Swirl and Roasted Almonds

Honey, I’m Home
Honey Vanilla Ice Cream & Chunks of Fudge Covered Honeycomb

White Russian
Coffee Ice Cream with Kahlua Coffee Liqueur

Don’t they sound scrumptious? These are only a small selection of all the retired flavours; the list just goes on and on. I hope they’ll bring some of these back out of retirement, cause I’d love to try them. Now I’ve got a craving for ice cream again!

Interesting links for August 6th through August 12th:

• Geek Hierarchy: Find Your Place In Geek Life - I never considered myself a snob, but according to this "Geek Hierarchy" I'm pretty high in the list.
• John Scalzi - Is The Dark Knight Oscar Ready? - The title says it all: a review of whether or not The Dark Knight will be nominated at the Oscars.
• Tube Door Etiquette - I'm getting more and more annoyed with pushy people who want to get in the moment the tube doors open, while there are a bunch of people wanting to get out. Bit of room, bit of patience, maybe? I'm slowly learning to use casually use my elbow and nudge those type of people away, but it doesn't really help. This is a great little anecdote of what one girl did in the same type of situation. Pure brilliance…
