A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Store-um

Deleting photos on the phone today (the Groupon app said I had to make some room or NO UPDATE! and honey you know I want those Groupons) and I came across these from 2 weeks ago; in anticipation of making ice cream that night while he played a show, I made a list for Luke to purchase the following ingredients:

[The black ink is my writing; the blue, notes he made after we discussed The List.]



Heavy cream: tall purple
Actual pumpkin (pictured), not canned
 Vanilla bean: in jar, tall black skinny
 White chocolate: chips or bar
 At least 1/3 cup refined coconut oil


later that day...

 




Assembled ingredients: including the cream (tall purple carton) and vanilla bean (tall, black, skinny, in jar)



Success!

(This is one thing I love about blogging, to capture the everyday endearing moments of my loves ones, however commonplace, in the amber of written and photographic vignettes; to hold them still and apart, plucked from the torrent of our lives. Little snapshots, suspended, treasured.)
