Boy Vs. Food

This afternoon during Rebecca's nap Ben and I were watching Man Vs. Food on the Travel Channel. We happened to catch the episode where Adam takes on an ice cream challenge -- to eat two gallons of ice cream with whipped cream and toppings in under an hour. This was the first time Ben had seen the show, and he was totally sucked into it. "Will we get to see him throw up?" he mused. (If you're wondering, he did not throw up, and he did successfully complete the challenge).

Fast forward to tonight after dinner, when we stopped into Ben and Jerry's for dessert. Ben almost never finishes ice cream, so I thought it was vaguely unusual that he was polishing off his kids cup of cookie dough ice cream with gummy bears and chocolate sprinkles with a singleminded determination... Then he set down his empty cup an announced, "Man vs. Food... MAN WON!!"
