Ice Cream Takes the Fullness Away

     Go ahead call me crazy, I don't care but ice cream takes the fullness away, it's a little known fact, well at least it's little known belief of mine.  Broken cookies have no calories because they leak out, that might be lie but doesn't it make you feel less guilty about eating a broken cookie.

There are a number of old wives tales that give advice or warnings, here are just a few:

Step on a crack and break your mothers back

A rabbits foot brings good luck (well not so much for the rabbit)

Pulling out a grey hair will cause ten more to grow. (better grey than bare)

If the palm of your hand itches you will be getting some money (I can't recall that ever happening)

Walking under a ladder will bring you bad luck

Breaking a mirror will bring you 7 years of bad luck

If you use the same pencil for a test that you used for studying the pencil will remember the answers (Dammit I wish I had known that).

     There are many more old wives tales most of which I can't verify as true but I know if I have that full feeling that a small scoop of ice cream will take the fullness away.  It may not make any sense to you but it seems to work for me every time.

     Eating bacon lubricates your joints, that may not be in the medical journal but I believe if you always deprive yourself of life's pleasures you will be missing out on a part of life, just don't over indulge.  Here is a recent quote I heard from a friend "Refrigerated desserts have less calories".  I like that, it has some believability.

     I'm sure all people have their own beliefs or traditions that may not be based on scientific fact but that doesn't mean they don't work.  Sometimes we just need to believe in them.
