It was a sweltering day recently - in the 90s - and we went to the ice cream shop we discovered. It serves the best homemade ice cream in our part of the country - we're convinced.
On this particular visit, my wife, who was pregnant at the time, had to get there before they closed at 9 pm. This means HAVE to get there.
We thought about the trip at 8:51 pm. So, under the pressure of the ice cream attack, we flew out the door, jumped in the car, and sped on back roads through woods to arrive at 8:59 pm.
There were open! We were the last customers. In front of us, a couple was ordering, and then we realized we might miss the ice cream. Why? Because the husband - who appeared to be high maintenance - starting asking to sample different flavors as the lights went out.
This sampling guru also provided the added bonus to his wife of describing the color, texture and ingredients he could identify both visually and by taste in each flavor. An ESPN analysis of each dollop. Necessary? No.
Take the sample and let's go. The shop staff graciously served us anyway, in the dark, but samplers need to take a moment and analyze the state of the situation before deciding to request multiple samples, especially at closing time. His wife wasn't pregnant, so no excuses.
Multiple samplers. Ever been behind one, or several?
