Ice Cream and The Tablet

I don't know exactly why I'm posting these two bits of info together, unless both seem to be too good to be true.

First, about ice cream. I've loved it since I was a kid and my grandfather took my sister and me out for chocolate-dipped cones. I found my present favorite ice cream ... Häagen-Dazs ... at a shop near the Cove in La Jolla . Here is the link to the products page for Häagen-Dazs, where you can read about flavors such as Amazon valley chocolate - The fertile soil and lush, protective canopy of the Amazon Rainforest provide the perfect growing environment for the rare Criollo cocoa bean—the exquisite ingredient that gives this ice cream its intense and nutty flavor ..... or Pomegranate Chip - The first bite is a creamy mixture of tart pomegranate, sweet cranberries and ripe, sun-warmed grapes. Next to arrive are melting chunks of intense dark chocolate and tantalizing fruit overtones. :-)

Second, I see that this week's copy of The Tablet is completely free for all to read, downloadable in pdf format. It's interesting to see how the pages, complete with advertizements, actually look. One article worth a read was No sign of a rapprochement ... From De Lubac to Lefebvre, France has long been a place of passionate argument about Catholicism and the liturgy. Publication of the Pope’s motu proprio has provoked intense debate and has consequences not only for celebration of the Mass but a wider vision of the Church.
