Those who share my affinity for desserts have no doubt heard that today is free Ben & Jerry’s scoop day. This is a pretty major holiday for us sugar-philes, as evidenced by the massive lines that form when this day on the calendar rolls over each year.
But (and I don’t mean to shock you), I will, with deep regret, not be participating in the festivities this year. I’m attending a fundraiser at HR-57 tonight that features desserts made by a bunch of local bakeries. And while ordinarily the prospect of baked goods later in the evening would never dissuade me from pre-gaming with ice cream, in this case I feel like I should probably try to get my money’s worth. That’s right, while you all relish your complimentary cones, I’ll be paying for my confections like a sucker. Such are the perils of trying to be a good guy.
You can find the D.C. B & J’s locales here. And remember to pour a little melted Cherry Garcia out for me, your absent comrade in sweetness.

Argh. Why didn’t I read this post before 11:25 p.m.?
so how does it compare to Whitey’s and Country Style?
