Ice Cream
March 30, 2006 at 7.30 pmAfter dinner today, I really fancied some ice cream. Fortunately, I had just the thing - a half-full tub of black forest cherry Carte D’Or…or so I thought.
There was absolutely no sign of it in the freezer. As it’s a normal-sized freezer compartment, shared between five of us, it’s pretty rammed, but I did have a good look.
Then Housemate Lynda tells me that one of the others had been rearranging some food, and accidentally left it out all day…so of course it thawed completely and had to be thrown away.
Oh well - these things happen.
So I had a look for the two-thirds-full tub of vanilla Carte D’Or, with the intention of having some with a chocolate liqueur topping.
There was no sign of that one, either. All I came up with was a frozen lump of suspiciously yellow gunk in the top shelf of the freezer. Which smelled, and tasted, suspiciously like vanilla Carte D’Or.
Grrrrrrrrrr!
These things happen, but a note would have been nice. All I wanted was some ice cream 
Sometimes, living in a shared house really sucks.
Carte d’Or Black cherry ice cream is my favourite (despite the fact I sometimes claim to be the girl who doesn’t like ice cream!).
I would have cried.

You need a BIGGER FREEZER. I hate Caps Lock.

I would have cracked open a beer

Shared houses do indeed sometimes suck donkeys ass. Like when your shampoo has vanished. It’s not like they were using it as shampoo - it wasn’t going down fast and had finished, and it’s a bar, so I’m sure they just thought it was soap. Even so, how’d it vanish completely?!? Cause they left it in the bit of the shower that water erodes it when not in use. Grump!
But I’m very impressed that I’ve not yet shouted at them. At least I don’t have to fight for freezer space as I’m the only one who has ANYTHING in it.
Boys are weird.

Alsion - you have a shampoo bar? How very strange. Bizarre are the ways of girly bathing products.
Linden - surely you’d actually have cracked open some nasty cider, rather than beer? Point taken, though.
On the whole, I really should point out that my housemates are pretty damn good. I was just extremely grumpy about having lost, not one, but two tubs of delicious ice cream. When I just happened upon an absolute craving for them. Ho hum.
