In the cold
Oct. 25th, 2006 08:27 amIt's freezing cold outside this morning, so of course the first thought is ice cream, right?
In the past, I've mourned the loss the Bob Peck Chevrolet and the disappearance of Hechts, so it was nice to see the reappearance of a local institution: Gifford's Ice Cream. After disappearing in the early 1980s, they're back and opening new stores in the DC area. The Arlington ice cream parlor used to be right up the street from me as a kid, the current location of the Joe's Pizza at Lee Harrison.
Not that I could have ice cream these days without help from Lactaid. My stomach fu has moved down into my internal plumbing, causing all kinds of havoc. I'm still trying to find a doctor to see me and praying that it's something managable. Ironically that lovely time of month reared its usual bloating and cramping at the same time, if only because I could deal with that pain. I understood that discomfort.
