Ben & Jerry’s has named a new ice cream in honor of the comedian: “Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream.” It’s vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel.

For those of you interested in what to get me for my birthday…I give you this link. I’d like blue flames painted on the side of mine, however. UPDATE: The evening’s festivities 2/13 Justine, my wonderful fiance whose eyebrows are freshly waxed and tender, took me out for dinner at the Cafe Montrose (a Belgian [...]
