If there's one thing my current (lack of) work situation has taught me, it is to take pleasure in the simple things in life. Going for a walk in the middle of the day, keeping a garden alive for the first time ever, being home to shop the local farmers markets, actually spending time with friends and family- and then there's the homemade vanilla ice cream. It doesn't take a long time, it's cheaper and more wholesome than store bought (what is tara gum anyway?) and a bowl of the stuff will put a smile on anyone's face.This weeks' TWD, Vanilla Ice Cream, had my mind reeling with possiblities. Chipwhich? Neopolitan? DQ Blizzard style? Not to mention all the a la mode options. In the end I kept it old school so that I could eat in the simplest, and bestest (yep) way I know how.
Bowl + ice cream + Hershey's syrup + cherry = heaven.

You are so right.
Simple is the best way to go.
I am totally with you on the lack of work thing... I am moving back to NYC next week and I will not have a job for God knows how long (Thank God for savings!), so I am going to have to learn how to sit back, relax, and enjoy the simpler things in life. The ice cream looks great!
Simple is a good thing, especially with this ice cream.
How funny, my hubs went with the Hershey's syrup, whipped cream and cherry sundae last night. :)
Your ice cream looks wonderful!! I love homemade ice cream. There's nothing better.
simplest is bestest! a perfect sundae!
Hershey's syrup and vanilla ice cream is classic. I love it!
I think I went to elementary school with Tara Gum ...
Just had some vanilla ice cream with Hershey's syrup. Strange how it just hits the spot.
Yum! What a perfect little sundae!
Love the title! And that looks delicious!
looks great - neapolitan would be a great idea
It looks simply perfect!
I also resisted the urge to add mix-ins. I wanted to see how it tasted alone.
Anyway, your ice cream looks perfect! Love the cherry on top.
Simple is good. That kind of simple? Awesome.
ha ha ha, funny that you mention it... we went to Ben & Jerry's on our vacation. Pics posted!
Enjoy your time while you can... bake & make more ice cream too :)
