Hooray! It’s my birthday!

Cake & Ice Cream

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

I’ve got ice cream on the brain. I finally convinced myself I should buy an ice cream book I’ve been wanting for a while now, and ended up with another one to peruse in the meantime. My birthday is in a little over a week and I’m still crossing my fingers for an ice cream [...]
