I haven't had an offer like that in years. Well, I've had offers. But no one has ever asked me if I wanted to neck. So, I was taken completely by surprise the other night when, after dinner, while sitting and watching an episode of Hawaii Five-O (a very bizarre episode of Hawaii Five-O, I must say), Jerry turned to me during a long commercial break and said, "Wanna neck?"Wow! But after a moment's thought, I realized he didn't mean what I thought he meant, although the second choice wasn't so bad either.
Jerry recently discovered a great dessert in the freezer section of the supermarket. A chocolate-encased ice cream in the shape of a bottle of champagne. Jerry and I hosted a couple of dinners here recently and had two champagne bottle "necks" left-over in the freezer.
So, Jerry hadn't asked me if I wanted TO neck; he had asked me if I wanted A neck. Either way, I would have said "yes."

| A NEW FAVORITE. AT LINDA AND TOM'S LAST NIGHT. (MORE THAN JUST A NECK.) |
Yes, to both!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool--no pun intended--dessert!
Bob: And tastes even better!
DeleteHello Mitch:
ReplyDeleteA disappointment, yes, but one quickly made up for by this most unusual ice cream the like of which, we assure you, is not to be found here in the Motherland!!
J&L: And surprisingly cheap and delicious.
DeleteOMG, I think I'm in love, a champagne bottle shaped ice cream which looks, I'm speechless - wannit, wannit, wannit NOW! :-)

YONKS: Just let me know when you get to town and I'll have Jerry pick up another one!
DeleteGood to see you are getting a little of the fizz back in life! That dessert looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteElaine: I think I need some right now!
DeleteI'm in for both too! But sadly, at this point in the game, I might go for the chocolate first.
ReplyDeletem.
Mark: Maybe both at the same time?
DeleteOmg. This is fantastic
ReplyDeletekisatrtle: It is surprisingly good quality. Rich chocolate. Delicious (and rich) ice cream. Linda is grocery shopping for dinner right now. I wonder what we're having for dessert today.
DeleteWow does it have that fizzy effect or is it just an ice cream indulgence? Classy looking pud!
ReplyDeletethe cuby poet: No fizzy effect. Although I am drunk with joy every time I eat it.
DeleteHere I sit with my tub of lemon/vodka ice-cream and you are tempting me with icy chocolate cream. ;)
ReplyDeleteHad some delish chocolate this afternoon @ 'the dealer' and "wet cake" with raspberries from patissery #1 of Kortrijk in Belgium. [lunch + dinner in one]
Oh, Peter, lemon/vodka ice-cream sounds incredible! You have the most amazing combinations. I'm now drooling at the though of wet cake and raspberries (which I love so much more than strawberries).
DeleteOh, that is tantalizing! I hope it was as good as it looks.
ReplyDeleteMs. Sparrow: It's better!
DeleteThanks for making me smile! That does look delicious...
ReplyDeleteCarole: Better than necking?
DeleteSounds like fun which ever you choose.
ReplyDeleteStew: Yep, you can't go wrong. But now I'm waiting for the other offer.
DeleteOh, that looks good. I hope the bottom wasn't hollow.
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth: It's not French, but I think I might like this type of champagne better. (Definitely not hollow.)
DeleteThank God Jerry didn't have any sausage left over...
ReplyDeleteChris: As they say in the US, "Ew"!
DeleteNow THAT kind of neck I can handle!! Anytime!
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteI don't know... I don't think I'd complain about the other either!
Oh yum … I would want that kind of necking!!
ReplyDeleteJenners: Oh, but not the other kind?
