Rainbow Ice Cream

Rainbow Ice Cream From An Ice Cream Parlour - Photography The Norty Borderline

Ok, so since I was a little girl one of my Dad's favourite things to do was to take us to a ice cream parlour. Especially if we were travelling somewhere and we had never been to that one before. So I have a love of going to an ice cream parlour. And 9 times out of 10, still to this day I get a rainbow ice cream. (I'm not sure if my American friends have rainbow ice cream over there and it is the same flavour and colours as ours, so I am including photos for all you guys). Anyway, I have always wondered what the actual flavour of the rainbow ice cream is, because it has the colours of the rainbow in it. It is just one of those things that you think about while you are eating it, but never actually try and find out, you are just enjoying it that much. It is like the moment that you get handed that ice cream, you have to start licking it. Plus I live in Australia, so our temperatures over here are normally very high and so we learn to eat an ice cream extremely quick over here. It could almost be an Olympic sport for us Aussies!! HA-HA!

Now I have also always loved the rainbow Paddle Pops, they are my go to ice cream if I can't get a parlour ice cream. They are just so yummy and I have loved them since I was  a little girl. (Don't even get me started on vanilla paddle pops or choc-mint paddle pops, gees I wish they would bring them back!) Rainbow Paddle Pops have the same flavour as an ice cream parlour one, but I do believe they are made by different companies. 

Paddle Pops from around the 1980's.

Anyway, so my Dad and I went and checked out some waterfalls that are not too far from where I am living. I was really excited to go and after we finished at the waterfalls instead of going home we went on a drive and found would you believe, a ice cream parlour! Well, we pull in and I swear my Dad even moved this quickest I have seen him move in a long time, once he knew he was going to be getting an ice cream! LOL He orders a rum and raisin ice cream (yuck, I absolutely despise rum and raisins! It's a no from me! HA-HA!) and of course I order a rainbow ice cream. Anyway the young girl gets my Dads ice cream ready first and then as she is getting mine ready it crossed my mind to actually ask what flavour rainbow ice cream is. And now I truly understand why I love it so much! It is one of my most favourite flavours in the whole entire world! Are you ready for this?! It is caramel flavour!!! 

I can tell you that I enjoyed my rainbow/caramel flavoured ice cream parlour ice cream even more, now that I know I am eating a flavour I truly love! HA-HA!

Is there something that you never really knew the flavour of until later on in life or you were shocked that there was a specific ingredient in a meal that you would not have expected? I'd love to hear if anyone else loves rainbow ice cream as much as I do!

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
