A Curious Coupling … That Works

Odd Pair: Snickers Ice Cream Bar and Blanc de Blancs

Why is it that every year we forget just how miserable it gets in August? We must, otherwise, we’d have all moved to Alaska to bunk with Sarah Palin by now. Anyway, it’s definitely ice cream weather and what’s better than a delicious Snickers candy bar filled with creamy vanilla ice cream? Not being Palin’s neighbor. Never mind, I digress.
