The temperature in Seattle this afternoon happens to fall within this narrow optimal range. The sun was shining. Not much of a breeze. On my walk to Wallingford, I could wear what Chad calls my "Singapore clothes"- short pants and a cotton blouse. I found that being in the shade was just as comfortable as being in the sun.
There were many people about, sitting outside, enjoying the warm day. Many were queueing up for ice-cream at Molly Moon's. The flavour which caught my eye- Pormegranate Curry Sorbet! I could kick myself for not joining in that queue today. I'm not making that same mistake tomorrow! Warm sunny day and Pomegranate curry sorbet- here I come!

Karen so glad the weather is showing you that we can actually have THE PERFECT DAY OF WEATHER. Enjoy and get your special ice cream cone.
Just so everyone knows. I did have the Pormegranate Curry Sorbet the very next day. It was a sunny Sunday and there was a long queue.
After a while, it was the turn of the girl before me. She looked Chinese and must have been half my size and was alone. First she ordered two scoops on a waffle cone. Then she said whe wanted a third scoop. A third scoop would not be able to defy the law of gravity on that same cone so she decided to have it on the side, in a bowl.
When it was my turn, I thought, "If she can handle THREE scoops, then surely I can handle TWO.". So I asked for a scoop of chocolate ICE CREAM and a scoop of the Pormegranate Curry SORBET in a BOWL.
I don't know how that girl behind the counter got so much ice-cream on that little scoop. I walked home, enjoying the warmish day, eating the cold treat. YUMMY!
It was just about a 10 minute walk back to the condo but I could not eat the ice-cream fast enough before it started to melt. I thought, "No wonder the scoops in Singapore are smaller. Scoops this big would melt in a puddle of mess before they could be eaten in Singapore." I was also struggling to finish the ice-cream. The ice-cream was my lunch and two scoops was much too much. I was sooo full. I wondered how that girl who was half my size was handling her THREE scoops plus a waffle cone.
From then on, it would be one scoop or, if I wanted two flavours, two HALF scoops for me. I've already tried the balsamic strawberry and salty caramel. The waffle cone is freshly made (they make new batches right there infront of you) and very good, and to me, a must-have.
Next flavours: half scoops of Sasquatch and Ginger. But frist a break from ice-cream for at least a week.
