Apple Pie Smoothies and Life a la Mode…

Is there really no ‘Apple Pie’ flavor in the Ben & Jerry’s roster of winning tastes? That’s too bad. That’s hard to believe. After all, we grew up eating it ‘a la mode’, didn’t we? Aren’t Ben and Jerry all about putting comfort food in a cone? They have strawberry cheesecake, peach cobbler and maybe even Strawberry Alarm Clock, don’t they? I’m surprised they don’t have a pizza flavor…

So in my current era of oral limits (no jokes, please) and gastric longing, post-surgery tooth extraction on both sides with a blister on my lip tossed in for good measure and God’s little reminder, ice cream the only hand-maiden in a rapidly shrinking universe, I tossed a healthy dose of apple pie, crust and all, into the blender, added milk and crushed ice then gave it a whirl. It was delish. I am vindicated….
