Gift Recommendation - Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Gift: The Gift of Food

Company: Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Why?: Out of Columbus, OH, Jeni's has a commitment--no, an insane drive--to make the best ice cream on the planet.  And they're succeeding.  They use heavy cream from cows who eat only grass, and only get ingredients when they're in season.  I hate it, because my favorite, Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk is only available from June through September (depending on how fast it sells).  

If you're in Columbus, head to a scoop shop for an after-dinner treat with your lady friend.  The trio is perfect for my fat ass, but the smaller sizes are easy on your wallet and her tummy.  

If you're not in Columbus, you can order online and have it quickly delivered to her doorstep.  It's perfect for all occasions, and really is the best ice cream in the world.  

Check out their great tumblr, complete with GIFs of them making ice cream.  Like this one:

 And then, when you're ready, order here.

A Little Too Soon

Last fall my boyfriend and I were getting ready to go on a trip that we had been planning for a long time; this was our first real vacation together even though we had been dating for over 2 years. We just hadn’t had time to get away due to our hectic work schedules. The day before we were supposed to leave I walked into my boyfriends office and saw a black jewelry box sitting on his desk, and, being the nosy person I am, I opened the box and saw a stunning diamond ring.  I was shocked, we hadn’t talked about marriage or even touched on the subject before so this was very out of the blue! I couldn’t believe he was going to propose on our vacation! I immediately called my best friends and my mom to tell them the news. I knew I should have kept it a secret but I couldn’t keep it in. We left on our vacation and I was on cloud nine, we were having the most wonderful time and I kept on waiting for the question, and I kept on waiting, and waiting, nothing. The trip finally ended and we went home.  I couldn’t hold it in anymore and just had to find out what happened. I finally confessed what I had seen and he started laughing hysterically and explained that it was the ring his brother had bought for his girlfriend of 10 years, his brother proposed to her the next night. My boyfriend said he wondered why I was in such a good mood the whole trip and joked he should hide more rings around the house.
