Middle-age Adventures

Ah yes, the joys of middle age. I was just preparing dessert for the two of us — vanilla ice cream and strawberry jam — and added some shaved chocolate chips on top. Except that I didn't wear my reading glasses and took the jar of whole black pepper instead. I did think that the chips were kind of odd-looking, but only realized my mistake when one fell out on the kitchen counter and I picked it up.

It was quite easy to pick the pepper corns out of the ice cream, though, and the faint residual flavour actually suits the ice cream really well.

all.
