A Chocolate Cone
In St. Regis, MT there is a little hamburger stand called Frosty's. My mom and I popped in there on our way back from a family wedding in Idaho last month. It was really small and quaint. It reminded me of a 50's diner. On the menu board my eye was caught be a little note in parentheses after the listing for ice cream cones. It said "(non-dairy)." So, I inquired about it. Turns out they have a non-dairy chocolate ice cream. So I ordered a small cone with great excitement. I couldn't even begin to tell you the last time I had an ice cream cone!! Many a bowl of ice cream for sure, but its been years since I've had a cone. What a fun little treat!
And I am sure glad I ordered a small one...when she handed it to me with six beautiful swirls I had to wonder just how big a large would have been!
At one point in my life, back when I worked at McDonald's, I would eat an ice cream cone several times a week. Now they are a treat, and a darn tasty one at that. I ate it with mindful enjoyment of every lick, experiencing the novelty of it with my whole self. And it was good.

Reading your blog makes me miss my own blogging *sigh* Unfortunately, my ex husband has access to it (and I don't want him knowing anything about my life now). May need to consider setting up a whole new blog dedicated to the new me!
ReplyDeleteI had wondered what had become of you! I am hoping that life has been a nice adventure in the meantime. Let me know if you do pick it up again.
