Ice Cream Dreams:

Last night I went to the Brite Winter Festival in Cleveland. It was incredible. Tons of bands, lots of people, and a butt-load of snow.

The coolest part was the free food/ free drink lounge for the musicians. I fortunately was able to get access to since my talented boyfriend's band played that evening.

Unfortunately, along with the amazing free pizza, pasta, and veggies, there was also free ice cream from Mitchell's Ice Cream Cleveland.

Does that not look just to die for? The options they had were:

1) BLACK RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CHUNK

Oregon black raspberries, Swiss dark chocolate

2) TOASTED PISTACHIOHomemade pistachio butter, pistachio extract, sea salt
My boyfriend, being the sneak that he is, got a bowl with both flavors and tempted me to try a bite of each kind.

I refused. I said no. I shook my head vigorously.

I. gave. in.

THEY WERE AMAZING!!! (Toasted Pistachio was unbelievably yummy)

You would think that this would be something to be upset over- I caved and ate something sugary and delicious- but, I am not looking at it that way. I stopped at one small taste of each. I didn't get my own bowl of ice cream and inhale it like I would have liked to. I may have broke my fast, but I was able to exercise self control to some extent, and reminded myself that it is possible to enjoy something with out gorging.

until tomorrow,
