If you were a flavor of ice cream, which flavor would you be? Why?
Vanilla bean ice cream because it’s versatile. I actually like it by itself, but it can be used in so many ways. It’s great in sundaes and banana splits because it compliments fruits and sauces (the flavor doesn’t compete). Also next to molten lava cakes, pies, crepes, or brownies. It’s great as the base of custom milkshakes. Blend with your favorite chocolate bar (ie Snickers Milkshake) or with Oreos for an Oreo/Cookies & Cream Milkshake. It’s also a great base for smoothies (add whatever fruits you like). It’s what you use in a root beer float and in affogato.
Have you heard of that expression, “Jack of all trades, master of none”? I never really liked it because I think it applies to me. I’m good at a lot of things (and I don’t say that proudly), but I’m not great at one thing. Life would be so much easier if I had that one thing I’m great at, instead of flip-flopping around several different things. It’s like I’ve always had many potentials, but not the discipline to reach any of them.
I’m vanilla bean. Versatile, but also quite common. Or maybe I have a little bit of ADD. 🙂 There are just so many things that pull my attention this way and that.
It’s taken a while, but I found my own uniqueness in being vanilla bean. I appreciate and love that God created me this way because He created me for a purpose – or maybe different purposes – that all contribute to His grand plan.
