If you look at the original storefront it was called water ice. They have begun referring to it in some of their marketing materials as italian ice, but a lot of the times they just refer to it as Rita’s Ice. Here is a picture of the original store:

and your wife is correct. italian ice is that stuff you get at the grocery store that comes with the wooden spoon. water ice is what you get from ritas (or a local place) and does not need to be scrapped to get some of the deliciousness.

We got a pandemic puppy that has not really had opportunities to socialize with other humans, and we are now looking at doing some more intense training because we are having similar issues. He hasn’t bit anyone yet but we have issues with him acting aggressive when people walk past our house (and we live in the city…

I own two cricut machines (an older version I am planning on giving to a friend who is a teacher and the newer version, the maker). I use it for making gifts and personal projects and I actually paid for an annual subscription when I bought the maker and done supplies for a discount on the items. When this happened i…

My husband and I just binged all of it where as most home improvement shows I can watch maybe a half a season and then I need a break.  Among the reasons I like them is that they seem to really enjoy eachothers company, and are always talking up the other one.  Plus they are both a little silly and some of the things…

I find it funny that you said it is pronounced like the candy because I have heard two different ways to pronounce the candy I actually paused and whispered it outloud.  I think I said it the right way?

Don’t forget that it isn’t just the feeling of power but their beliefs that because DC is a plurality Black city we can’t possibly govern ourselves.  (Andy Harris can also suck it.)

Oh that gray. I live in a neighborhood that is gentrifying and every time we see a house painted gray (or we prefer to call it greige, because it has some beige tones to it) we know another house will have a for sale sign shortly. Our house is gray-blue on the outside, but every interior wall is greige. Over the next…

This 100%.

I know this wasn’t the purpose of your post, but if you think she might have ADHD I recommend getting her tested. Girls are substantially less likely to get tested because they don’t display the same symptoms that boys do. I finally got tested at 30 (when I decided working full time and going back to school was a good…

Honestly, looking through her profile she definitely looks like a bot. She has nothing but posts about Trump and hating democrats, no personal posts or posts about anything but politics (I mean I only looked for 2 minutes, but...).  

My husband tells me he prefers Sheetz to Wawa, I think to upset me. His reasoning is that Sheetz asks if he wants mozzarella sticks on his sandwich, and while he doesn’t always want mozzarella sticks on his sandwich, he likes being asked.

I am a big fan of dance workout videos and have really been enjoying The Fitness Marshall (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFitnessMarshall) and Plyojam.  I also enjoy Barre 3 classes, though have been less consistent with them.

This really frustrates me. In a similar vain when politicians are attacked for “flip flopping”. Learning new information and making informed decisions based on all the information you have is a sign of growth and maturity. I want my elected leaders to be willing to realize they made a mistake and change their mind…

I wanted to skip my high school graduation to go to a festival, which my parents were not okay with. However, as I told them, it isn’t a surprise I graduated high school, given I grew up in an upper middle class area where over 99% of the students graduate in four years. For my graduate degree on the other hand I…

I feel seen by this article. Why yes my prom dress was from BCBG and yes my knees make dropping it low a bit more difficult than it was back when I went to prom.  

Yes, if you are a place that is an option. However, these are good for many situations. For places that allow cans but no glass (such as tubing) these work well. Also, I have a couple heavy drinking events each year and as I get drunk my pour gets a little more generous and I end up over indulging more than I planned…

The dutch oven is a wonderful kitchen tool, and without it you can’t make recipes like dutch babies (technically a cast iron skillet would work but is so much harder to clean up). Dutch ovens come in a huge range of prices. I own both a Le Creuset and one from Martha Stewarts line at Macys. They both work wonderfully,…

This was the only reason I decided to click on this article. I just started rewatching Don’t Trust the B and I am now sad it hadn’t been in constant rotation at our house along with Happy Endings, Parks and Rec, and Letterkenny.

Two things, first, any article about online mattress companies really needs to link to this amazing, interesting article about mattress review sites:
