Ice Cream Dream

I was reading a comment on Andy's blog, about a debate on it's/its. It made me think of the fabulous ice cream sandwich treat, the It's-It. For those of you who have never lived in the Pacific time zone, an It's-It is ice cream sandwiched between two yummy oatmeal cookies, dipped in chocolate, frozen, and wrapped individually in neat little cellophane wrappers. This is not to be confused with the Sugarcubes album of the same name!

I found the company website and was happy to see that I could get a case of the delicious treat for only $17. Then I looked further and my jaw dropped at the $67 shipping cost. It makes sense, because they ship overnight with dry ice. But with all the hunger in the world, I can't justify paying $67 dollars to ship $17 worth of an indulgence that I'd most definitely eat in one sitting.

I wasn't going to let a little thing like an outrageous shipping cost stop me from connecting with a happy delicious sugar treat from my childhood. If I couldn't buy my own It's-its, I'd just have to MAKE them.

I remembered the G.I. Joe episodes where Cobra took DNA from different historical figures like Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan in order to make a new supreme leader, Serpentor. I decided to scour the city of Chicago, looking for the best ingredients to recreate the It's-It. Once I get all the stuff together, I'll post an update.
