Departures and Frozen Avocados

Yesterday marked the day that my fellow gringa and Peru Best Friend, Audrey, left Arequipa. We had a lot of fun times together, but instead of telling you I'll show you!

I just went for a run. My first run in Peru, my first time wearing shorts in Peru, but not the first time listening to Joshua Radin on my iPod in Peru. The track was closed though so I found an open and unoccupied basketball court. Running in circles is fun! I needed some power food when I got home so I grabbed my half-eaten avocado from the fridge and stuck it on some bread. The avocado was partially frozen, which I didn't mind, and it reminded me of avocado gelato from Capo Giro (swoon).

Which made me think about their awesome and crazy flavors.
I then realized I've never seen carrot flavored gelato...or carrot ice cream in general.
And now I really think there should be carrot ice cream.
As in, I'm feeling very passionate about it.

Yeah, I know I can find some recipes online and make it myself. But can I buy Ben & Jerry's carrot ice cream and eat the entire pint in one sitting? Can I waltz into Superfresh and get a gallon of carrot Turkey Hill? Whole Foods at the very least should sell this. My other idea is carrot cake ice cream. That is all.
