This past weekend the ladies from the shop and I were lucky enough to be able to attend the Summer TNNA show in Columbus, Ohio. (In case you don't know, TNNA is a huge trade show put on by The National Needlearts Association.) I had a blast taking classes on tunisian crochet from Sheryl Thies and how to knit a doll version of yourself from Norwegian duo Arne and Carlos. We shopped the booths, picked out some amazing new products for the store, knit, laughed (a lot), drank only a small amount of beer (I swear), and had a fantastic time. However, there is one thing in downtown Columbus that seems to attract TNNA attendees like moths to a flame: Jeni's Ice Cream. This leads us to Picture 18:
I'm drooling on my keyboard
This is a picture of the third of four delicious ice cream treats that I bought from Jeni's over a 3-day period. (Side note: Apparently it is possible to eat full-fat, triple-scoops of gourmet ice cream all weekend and not gain any weight. Granted, I'm not a waif to begin with, but usually I merely look at sugar and my gut grows.) Every single flavor they have is amazing. I usually try to have different ones every time. This cone contains their Brown Butter Almond Brittle (fricking amazing), Wildberry Lavender (refreshing, yet creamy), and the Cherry Lambic Sorbet (tastes like lambic, which I love)! Jeni's is sold at a few places around here, but not any closer than a 45-minute drive. I have refused to buy it anywhere because I would blow my paycheck and lay on my couch eating pint after pint for an entire weekend. I know that it seems ridiculous that this was my favorite part of the weekend, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who feel this way.
Moral of the story: If you ever, ever have the opportunity to eat anything that this place makes (seriously, even the sticky drips off of the floor), you should do it. And then you can thank me by sending me a pint of their Milkiest Chocolate in the World.
