my Husband's latest addiction

My husband loves ice cream, from fancy gelatto to dirty ice cream, anything .... as long as its made out of milk and its cold he would definitely grab a pint...

When he was diagnosed having this carpal tunnel, we would always visit makati med. for check-ups. Since my office is just beside the hospital we would always pass by this small counter that sells Ice Cream , blizzards and etc.  Hubby  would always have 12oz of blizzard..... his favey? mudpie ... its good but i want the almond flavor... it has big portion of almond nuts....
