remember this gal?

Me and Heather on the Zambezi- October 2013

Once upon a time Heather and I signed up for a year together in Zambia.

We didn't know each other before we moved across the ocean.

not. at. all.

So we sent a few emails back-and-forth before our departure,

sharing

a few of our favorite things.

We discovered...

we both love MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM!

But, Heather was aghast to learn that I

-way over in Michigan land-

had never before heard of

Philly-style-white-mint-chocolate-chip

ice cream.

Heather insists said flavor is the BEST the world over

(and this gal has trekked a good bit of the globe).

In that first email exchange in the summer of 2012,

Heather and I agreed that one day I would come to Pennsylvania...

and she would introduce me to her favorite

mint chocolate ice cream.

AND...

She did.

Last Saturday, Heather braved the elements,

[there were Pa-Ingalls-style-blizzard snow squalls and zero-ish temps]

and came to our halfahouse,

and we shared

the BEST!

it was worth our 2.5 year date wait.

If you want some too... here's what to buy:
