Dear Ben and Jerry: Thanks

With thoughts of and thanks to Jaquandor, I'd like to talk about Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream a bit today.
With the recent warm/hot weather, Val and I have started to eat a bit more recently; I am a major fan of all things chocolate, so I recently tried a new flavor, The Godfather, a lovely combination of chocolate ice cream, nougat and chocolate-covered almonds; very nice. Val went with an old favorite, Cherry Garcia, which she was seriously enjoying.
I saw a variety we hadn't tried yet, Mint Chocolate Cookie, peppermint ice cream with Oxford sandwich cookies inside, and decided it was time for us to sample it. Wow; the cookies give the ice cream a nice contrast and chocolate edge, but man, the real weapon here is the ice cream. The peppermint ice cream has a good, somewhat strong taste, but is in no way overpowering, and the mint does not have that sharp twang that too many mint-based ice creams do. Basically, it lets the cream in ice cream have some space along with the mint.
An interesting part of Val and I eating this variety of ice cream is that because of the excellent taste of the ice cream, we were eating it in smaller spoonfuls than usual and it looks like we may be able to make it last at least a couple of days.
