Wildberry Lavender ice cream tastes just as fantabulous as it sounds. It’s both lush and refreshing, unlike the scolding you lashed out in my direction at Imo’s last Wednesday night. True, I had made a bit of a scene. OK. Scratch that, it was more than a scene. I may have been slightly out of control β but that wasn’t just H2O or seltzer you spilled all over my new periwinkle-lime J. Jill linen capris. I wanted to savor the Atomic Provolone Cheese Bite appetizers even as I sat there drenched in Orange Crush (the orangiest kind), but those kinds of stains, well, they just never come out.
