Punkin Chunkin

For the 3rd year in a row Carren and I went to the Punkin Chunkin. It was awesome. Carren gives a great report of the whole thing on her blog. Check it out and don't forget to catch the special on the Discovery Channel some time! http://mycket.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-love-smell-of-pneumatic-air-cannons.html

The DGM

Some times people come into our lives to give us remarkable gifts. To grant our most ardent wishes and make all our dreams come true. In Cinderella the Fairy Godmother grants Cinderella the chance to go to the ball, meet Prince Charming and start a new life. In Alexandria, Virginia the Dairy Godmother almost daily grants me the chance to escape from hectic city life into a world of tantalizing frozen custard and delectable baked goods. She's a culinary genius who has turned ice cream into an art form. Every 2 days she has a new flavor and I have taken it upon myself to sample each one. Some of my favorites have been chocolate orange shortbread, banana pudding and toasted almond. She even caters her flavors for the seasons and holidays. I'm looking forward to eggnog next week. With her shop just a few short blocks away I've become a regular and can't really imagine life without said Dairy Godmother. Cause let's face it, some days you just need a pint!
