I haven’t had an offer like that in years. Well, I’ve had offers. But no one has ever asked me if I wanted to neck. So, I was taken completely by surprise the other night when, after dinner, while sitting and watching an episode of Hawaii Five-O (a very bizarre episode of Hawaii Five-O, I must say), Jerry turned to me during a long commercial break and said, “Wanna neck?”
Wow! But after a moment’s thought, I realized he didn’t mean what I thought he meant, although the second choice wasn’t so bad either.
Jerry recently discovered a great dessert in the freezer section of the supermarket. A chocolate-encased ice cream in the shape of a bottle of champagne. Jerry and I hosted a couple of dinners here recently and had two champagne bottle “necks” left-over in the freezer.
So, Jerry hadn’t asked me if I wanted TO neck; he had asked me if I wanted A neck. Either way, I would have said “yes.”

| A NEW FAVORITE. AT LINDA AND TOM’S LAST NIGHT. (MORE THAN JUST A NECK.) |
Yes, to both!
What a cool–no pun intended–dessert!
Bob: And tastes even better!
Hello Mitch:
A disappointment, yes, but one quickly made up for by this most unusual ice cream the like of which, we assure you, is not to be found here in the Motherland!!
J&L: And surprisingly cheap and delicious.
OMG, I think I'm in love, a champagne bottle shaped ice cream which looks, I'm speechless – wannit, wannit, wannit NOW! 🙂

YONKS: Just let me know when you get to town and I'll have Jerry pick up another one!
Good to see you are getting a little of the fizz back in life! That dessert looks terrific.
Elaine: I think I need some right now!
I'm in for both too! But sadly, at this point in the game, I might go for the chocolate first.

Mark: Maybe both at the same time?
Omg. This is fantastic
kisatrtle: It is surprisingly good quality. Rich chocolate. Delicious (and rich) ice cream. Linda is grocery shopping for dinner right now. I wonder what we're having for dessert today.
Wow does it have that fizzy effect or is it just an ice cream indulgence? Classy looking pud!
the cuby poet: No fizzy effect. Although I am drunk with joy every time I eat it.
Here I sit with my tub of lemon/vodka ice-cream and you are tempting me with icy chocolate cream. 😉
Had some delish chocolate this afternoon @ 'the dealer' and "wet cake" with raspberries from patissery #1 of Kortrijk in Belgium. [lunch + dinner in one]
Oh, Peter, lemon/vodka ice-cream sounds incredible! You have the most amazing combinations. I'm now drooling at the though of wet cake and raspberries (which I love so much more than strawberries).
Oh, that is tantalizing! I hope it was as good as it looks.
Ms. Sparrow: It's better!
Thanks for making me smile! That does look delicious…
Carole: Better than necking?
Sounds like fun which ever you choose.
Stew: Yep, you can't go wrong. But now I'm waiting for the other offer.
Oh, that looks good. I hope the bottom wasn't hollow.
Walt the Fourth: It's not French, but I think I might like this type of champagne better. (Definitely not hollow.)
Thank God Jerry didn't have any sausage left over…
Chris: As they say in the US, "Ew"!
Now THAT kind of neck I can handle!! Anytime!
Jim:
I don't know… I don't think I'd complain about the other either!
Oh yum … I would want that kind of necking!!
Jenners: Oh, but not the other kind?
