Not one to take someone else's word for it -- at least, not when it comes to ice cream -- I decided to try Breyer's fat-free creamy vanilla topped with Hershey's chocolate syrup and fat-free Reddi Whip.
Gotta hand it to you, Arlene, this is good stuff. Who knew that fat-free ice cream had evolved into something that tasted like the real deal? Where have they been hiding this stuff? (Probably next to the uber-fat chocolate truffle ...)
With Lent a little more than a week away, though, I am not going to let this fat-free combo become a habit. I am contemplating giving up ice cream and chocolate in all forms, along with bottled frappucinos. I figure this would be good not only for my cholesterol, but also for my soul. Maybe. A little self-denial never hurt anyone, right?
Besides, I just heard that someone close to my age had to have surgery on one of his carotid arteries because it was 90 percent blocked. The other was completely blocked. He was headed for a stroke and didn't even know it. Sheesh.
Maybe I'll give up meat and cheese, while I'm at it.
