If you know me, you know that there are only a few things that I ever really say to people… it can get a little repetitive.
Some of my favorite sayings are…
- those are z’s
- I invented fish tacos
- billy likes soda
- that’s awesomes
- get back in the boof
- no, you’re __________ (retort to anything Alisha says)
- I thought I was your snack pack
Many of those are Adam Sandler lines (see prior blog), but a lot of them are Jim originals. Alisha ends up saying “I knew you were going to say that”. For example, anytime she asks me what I want for dinner or dessert, my answer is almost always VIENNETTA. I even whaled on the floor of the grocery store demanding Viennetta (Alisha likes it when you embarrass her).
For those of you who don’t know (or remember), Viennetta is a fancy ice cream log cake- which just happens to be delicious. It was around when I was a kid… I am pretty sure it came in a black and white box like this.

I haven’t seen Viennetta in at least 10-15 years. That was until we saw it in Germany. The Deutchlanders appearently have a finer taste palette in order to not let it come off the shelves.
Alisha surprised me tonight with my very own log of Viennetta that she found at Dierbergs. I was so excited to see it. She wouldn’t let me eat the whole thing though.
Do yourself a favor and get yourself a giant tasty log of Viennetta… you won’t be disappointed, unless you miss it while it’s here and then all you’ve got is my constant suggestion to eat it.

The last Vienetta I saw was in Germany. I didn’t even know they were still available.
Did you check the expiration date? Maybe it was one that had been hidden in the back of the store freezer since 1990!
