Grocery shopping while starving is dangerous

My kids noticed that I didnt have much junk around anymore. Quite unusual for a household that in its heyday had a cupboard named "7-11".
Well, except for visits, the kids are gone and lets just say the metabolism isnt as fast as it used to be and considering that food is my life, the really bad stuff had to go. Well most of the time. Anyway my one weakness is icecream, but I am so used to lowfat milk and frozen yogurt that I cant really eat the premium stuff anymore, thank god for small favors. That does not go for chocolate...only the good stuff will do, and heck I am healthy, cause I was always a dark chocolate lover. I digress which is typical, so back to the ice cream. I love the edy's slow churned 1/2 the calories etc and i do try and portion control, well at least no more than 2 times the portion, but even then the caramel one is banned...no control there. Today they have all these American Idol flavors, so how much fun is that??? One of these fun flavors is, Yellow cake batter with frosting and sprinkles, well this intrigues me for many reasons. First the other day this local ice cream place has this low calorie machine stuff and some of the flavors are really good. My definition of really good is that when you are finished you are totally happy and not ready for the real stuff or random grazing. So for the last 2 days i have been eating White cake batter (which has an almond cake flavor) and Caramel swirled together. This stuff is 9 calories an ounce so party on!!!!
Okay so back to Edy's Yellow cake batter with frosting. So, this brought back memories of the kids who used to eat the most disgusting thing in my opinion. Canned Frosting with sprinkles and pretzel rods. My daughter tells me it is call "Spooey", I thought Ooey! They would dip the pretzels into the frosting etc...I stopped buying frosting when i read the calorie count and made them chocolate dipped pretzels instead. All natural right??? So I bought this ice cream since i have been in this cake batter ice cream bender and when i opened it up and it was slightly yellow with sprinkles and blue swirls. I knew sugar coma wasnt far behind so i mixed in some pretzels and boy oh boy it was gooooood!!!!! Super sweet, creamy and salty. I used thin little pretzel sticks but I am sure any kind would do. Thank you American Idol and Edy's this will surely be on the summer dessert list.
