Oreo Cookies and Cream No-Churn Ice Cream
Y’all, it’s still ice cream month, so we should celebrate for a few more days, right? And it can’t get any easier than a four ingredient Oreo Cookies and Cream No-Churn Ice Cream. Not very original. Agreed. But it’s classic and delicious, so don’t judge me.
I’m keeping things short and easy around here today because tomorrow I am headed to the beach for five glorious days of sand, sun, and booze. Don’t judge me. I’m in desperate need of some vacation and me time. I also raided the library of all the detective novels and chick lit I could get my hot little hands on. I know, how very retro of me.
I do not own a kindle or other beach friendly reading machine. There is something comforting and relaxing to me about strolling through the stacks and putting my hands on an actual physical book with a cover and paper pages in the middle. I am looking forward to stretching out under this crazy beach tent thing Chris bought to protect his very very pale white skin from the sun and cracking open a mystery novel or some kind of chick lit that will have me laughing out loud. I will absolutely be cracking open some other business too.
So, my friends, I leave you today to pack, work in the morning, and head out on the long journey to my long awaited visit to a beautiful North Carolina beach for some much needed rest and chill time. I expect that I’ll return to you at some point late next week to share some beach shenanigans and some kind of food related business. And I promise you there will be shenanigans at the beach because most of my family will be there, including my sisters, Katie’s 5 year old triplets, as well as other assorted children and relatives.
Please send positive thoughts that the children or sharks don’t get me. Thank goodness for booze.
Love, Rach….
