It's a big enough umbrella Jules but it's always you that ends up getting wet. Sting, what a philosopher. ;D How are you today m'dear? As feisty as box crazed badgers that have been taunted by a stoat. How are you?

Rocky Road is an ice cream flavor, second only to vanilla in popularity in the United States. Though there are variations on the flavor, it is traditionally composed of chocolate ice cream, nuts and marshmallows. The flavor is claimed to have been created in 1929 by William Dreyer when he cut up walnuts and marshmallows with his wife's sewing scissors and added them to his chocolate ice cream during the Great Depression. The company claims it was then so named "to give folks something to smile about in the midst of the Great Depression." Another host says the flavors were created by a Milton Epstein while owning an ice cream toppings factory. Alternately, Fenton's Creamery in Oakland, California, claims that William Dreyer based his recipe on a Rocky Road ice cream invented by his friend, Fenton's George Farren, who blended his Rocky Road candy bar into ice cream; however Dreyer substituted almonds for walnuts. ;D

As feisty as box crazed badgers that have been taunted by a stoat. How are you? an excellent analogy! I'm trying to find something better than "Umbrella Day". Pleasingly I have found "The Pinot Noir Summit: February 10th, San Francisco" So now I'm happy as Larry, the schizoid barman who thinks he's a clown *shudders slightly*

Hmm mine is National Trail Mix Day what's dat den? Trail mix or gorp is a snack food commonly used in outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, backpacking, mountaineering and camping. This food mixture is termed scroggin in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Iraq and Studentenfutter in German-speaking countries. Trail Mix usually consist of a mixture of nuts and dried fruits such as raisins or cranberries. Other ingredients such as chocolate chips may also be included.
