My boyfriend has gone interstate for 3 days, and so I have the house to myself. The noodles I bought to sustain myself during this period tasted like crap so I threw them away. I don't so much care about dinner, but now I want icecream. I'm left with the question, "How do I GET icecream?".
The best I can come up with is ordering a pizza from Pizza Hut just to get their icecreams. I could walk down to the nearest shopping centre but I don't know when it's closing time is (it could be in half an hour) and that means walking 25 minutes each way carrying icecream. Seems a bit silly, but it would be cheaper. Then again, I'd have to walk. Hmm.
You can see my predicament.
In order not to waste this thread, let me ask you. Do you get stupid irrational cravings at times like this?
you have no idea how tempted you are to call your mates mobile phone on the school bus when we aren't allowed to bring mobiles at our school. :D
Pff, mobile phones. They pale like an ant's toe to the sun in comparison to icecream.
I also think bringing mobile phones to school is stupid and should be banned ^_^ School is a place for icecream, not over-hyped technology.
wait, i'm getting a brainwave........ icecream flaveoured mobile phones..... or the other way around. :P
But, Kinoko, how else are kids going to tell their parents to come and pick them up in their SUVs? ;)
I get cravings to play Civilisation, but thats about it...
Do you have petrol stations in Queensland?
My main nocturnal craving, of a gastronomic nature, is for Turkish pizza.
Co-incidently, it's these establishments that are open until 5 am.
Occasionally I think of something and want to find out more about it, but Wikipedia is unavailable...
....SHUT UP
The petrol station's just as far away as the shopping centre. I'm think I'm a-gon order pizza later. It's expensive, but it'll do me for 2 nights dinner.
another of my cravings is killing the teletubbies.
ah.... a personal fantasy of mineÃ,Â

That's not what craving means.
Macquarie Dictionary & Thesaurus 2nd Edition
craving = to long for or eagerly want something
Regardless of dictionary meaning, you don't say, "I have a craving to kill the teletubbies".
grammatical error observed.
On a regular basis I crave ice cream. The only solution is during my lunch hour at school to nip out to Tescos, or find a Local Shop/newsagents. They generally have a little ice cream freezer. However, at night I sleep, and only wake up with bizzare cavings for KFC.
QuoteRegardless of dictionary meaning, you don't say, "I have a craving to kill the teletubbies".
You could, however, say "I crave the death of the Teletubbies". And I think I will...
I crave the death of the Teletubbies. And will pay 99 euros* to anyone who'll oblige.
How do I get Ice-Cream - or satisfy any other snack-food craving - in the middle of the night? Three words: 24 hour opening. There's a 24 hour supermarket within easy walking distance of my house - is there not one near you? Mightn't do you any good for tonight, but if you can scout one out during the day, you'll be set for tomorrow. Failing that, before the Tesco went 24 hour a friend & I would call taxis in the wee small hours to take us to the 24 garage three quarter of a mile away, to buy snacks. I think the fare was usually more than the snacks, but worth it every time, and still probably cheaper than ordering pizza just for the ice cream (which, in fairness, we also did once).
* Possibly more, depending on exchange rate.
Well, I ordered pizza. It's gonna take 3 quarters of an hour, it's hideously expensive, but it's kind of fun because I've never ordered pizza when I've been by myself.
So much for saving money. Meh.
You do know that despite your best intentions to leave some pizza for tomorrow, you are going to eat the whole thing AND the icecream, too :=
my contribution to this thread is to point out that as soon as I read 'ice cream cravings' I went to the fridge and took out a Carte D'or banana chocolate icecream. It is gone, now.

Now that's smart! Having three flavours of ice cream at your fridge at all times just eliminates the need for expensivve 24h shops. So, Kinoko, next time you go shopping, buy as MUCH everything as you can carry home. Then deep-freeze all that. Now, when you wake up at 3am with a sudden urge to eat mozzarella pizza, you don't have to wait those tiresome 45 minutes! Just open your fridge!
That does, however, need a certain skill of buying more than you immediately need. That can be hard.
Another possibility would be to _stop_ eating ice cream and other sugary, fatty foods. Spend a couple of months eating just carrots and rye bread and you would even THINK of wanting ice cream in the middle of the night. It just works.
Pff, I don't want advice on how to not want icecream and eat like a wuss :P Anyway, I'm eating icecream right now. Yum! I haven't had it in aaaaaaages.
Re: the pizza - I ate 2 slices and the rest is wrapped up in the fridge ^_^
Helm - I'm happy to have helped!
I sometimes have the unexplainable desire for soft-boiled eggs and sugar, and since our home is rarely stocked with anything other than microwaveable tacos, and because I live in a very rural area of Texas, I go over to the nearest chicken-coop and leave a dime for every egg I take which, considering the going rate of a carton of eggs in the U.S.A, is very fair.

I'll be very happy to accept my 99+ euros. In USD please.
Are you sure? The exchange rate isn't very favourable. (http://www.geocities.com/whoismonkey/conv2.htm)
Hope not to offend anybody, but how can this thread reach 2 pages???
The awesome power of ice cream?
AND exchange rates! :)
I always get cravings for Taco Bell late at night. Thankfully, the closest one stays open until 1:30am.

Because of Kinoko's awesome ability to start seemingly pointless threads which still get a lot of replies :P
I say it's sexist, but everyone else says it's because she has boobies.
Nobody here has a craving for ice cream.

I wish I could have your pizza left-overs.
Talking abount irrational cravings.
Hey, this reminds me of a story:
In a german TV show the host used the internet to order a pizza from australia just for fun... with kangaroo meat... and boomerangs... and this pizza was actually delivered and arrived one week later!
(But without kangaroo meat - what a bummer!)

$120.73743 USD? Okay... And for that much you can give me 1 slap in the face with a wet trout as well. Just send me both in the mail.
How do I get icecream at night? I look into the freezer! My mom always makes sure there is some ice cream in the freezer during the summer. I guess she knows I have a craving for ice cream...
Heh, that ice cream truck... was it in the same place now as it was last year? And what's with Brittens and people taking of photos of other people eating ice cream anyways? :P
I could have had pizza, but instead I went and had a free meal at the pub at trivia night.
mmm, counter meal, big and greasy.
We've been going there for a year, and the object of trivia nights is to bring in more customers.
In that year we've probably spent less than $30, and consumed and taken home well over a grand in won grog, food and cash.
Last night that I remember getting ice cream was when everyone in the Mittens group was at Dave Gilbert's in NYC and Mills, MrColossal, Jess, and I (who stayed at the "campsite") went to this ice cream place that made huge cones! I think I had Pistaccio.
I have a terrible addiction to icecream (like most people who've posted) and yogurt. Any time of day is a good time for those two yums!
I crave them constantly.
Yep, this thread is so long 'cause I have boobies. Who doesn't want to reply to one with boobies? Plus, we're all united by a love of icecream.
Ed: Pistaccio? ALWAYS reminds me of a segment on Sesame Street where Ernie bought a huge icecream with all the flavours that was like 15 scoops high. It was the first place I ever heard the word 'pistaccio'.
I constantly crave Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice-Cream. Unfortunately, it's hard to find it packaged, usually you can only get it from actually Ice-Cream stores (Such as Baskin Robbins). So usually my cravings are only half filled with a more common flavour of Ice-Cream.
Peanut butter chocolate?!?! Just thinking of it makes me ill.
Give me the classic Mr Whippy or Mint Choc Chip anyday!
Makes me ill but... damn, I'd like to try it ^_^
I'm always happy with mint chocolate, I think it's the best classic flavour of icecream. I think one of my 'favourites' though is rum and raisin. Last time I had it with a kind of Bailey's flavour (I figured I might as well go all out with the alcohol) and holy hell, it was great.
Coconut gelato too, mmm.

enjoy!
Macadamia icecream is lovely.
He... Thanks for mentioning that. Yesterday Lorena was playing Port Royale 2 and told to me "There is a disease in Tortuga and they're suposed to be burning the clothes, but they're actually burning a teletubby!"
I told her "what???"
And she showed me this:
