OOoooooOOOOoooooOOOOOOoooooo!

Just got back from the Scooper Bowl, a seven dollar all-you-can-eat ice cream fundraiser for charity.

I was there approximately an hour and a quarter, and ingested no less than 20 cups of ice cream, an average of one cup every three minutes and forty-five seconds.

Those break down into four HP Hood Comeback Caramel, three each of Häagen-Dazs Cookies ’N Cream and Raspberry Sorbet, two Häagen-Dazs Light Dulce de Leche, and one each of Häagen-Dazs Mint Chip, Brighams/Élan Black Raspberry and Bordeux Cherry Chip, Edy’s Grand Orange Sherbet, HP Hood Green Monster Mint, Kemps Lovin’ Caramel Swirl, Garelick Farms Dinosaur Crunch and Vanilla…

…and one immense case of Bloaty-Ohs!

The charity which puts on the Scooper Bowl is the Jimmy Fund (the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), which incidentally is also the beneficiary of the Pan-Mass Challenge, my annual charity bicycle ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown. I am late in starting my fundraising, but a notice will be posted here shortly. However, if you want to get a jump on the competition, aim your browser at my PMC Profile page.

Wow.. 20 Scoops.. Well, not too surprised given how much you used to like ice cream! :)

that is impressive. Are you all set for the summer now, no more ice cream need be consumed?

Actually, the past few years I've cut ice cream out during my Pan-Mass training period, except if I'd biked at least 60 miles that day (there's a wonderful ice cream stand out in Carlisle MA that we often stop by). This year I've been much more lax, but now that training is happening in earnest, it's indeed time to set it aside, but it's really only for two months, which isn't much.

And I think it'll take about that long before I can stand to look at another ice cream...
