I'm over the moon!

For Molly Moon ICE CREAM, that is!
This delightfully sweet confection has certainly always rotated somewhere in my list of top 5 favorite foods, but I do think Miss Moon has driven it permanently to at least place #2...maybe even #1!!! Craig and I made an impromptu visit this afternoon to her recently opened shop. Thankfully, there was a "kid's scoop" listed on the menu, which helped me to feel A-Ok with ordering a double-scoop! I ordered honey lavender and salted carmel. Yes...honey lavender and salted carmel. Have you ever heard of such simple, yet indulgent flavors? And I had TWO of them in ONE bowl! I do believe the world stopped during my first two tastes. And, yet not as exotic, Craig's were nonetheless satisfying. He ordered chocolate (which he later told me might be one of the better "chocolates" he's had, and..for those of you who know him, my man knows chocolate!) and maple walnut. As good as these were...I wanted more. My good, *sweet*, husband jumped on the bandwagon and we promptly ordered one more kid's scoop to split - thai iced tea. Refreshing!!!!!

Other highlights from the weekend?

Friday night dinner and a movie-
We had a great salad:
dressing - dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and olive oil
drizzled over-
1 grapefruit, peeled and I took the fruit out of the individual "skins," so it was the fruit only
avocado
butter lettuce
red onion
cucumber
chilled shrimp

Flowers from my man, from Pike Place Market- beautiful purple and melon-colored gladiolas, lillys, and...I don't know what it's called, but it looks like baby's breath, but with a fresh lemon color...
