Working on photos, getting bleary eyed and thinking about finishing up for the night – and Steve brought home Sea Salt and Caramel ice cream from WF. Uh-oh!
And then to top it off- he comes upstairs with a sweet foamy combo-
A Dr. Better float
And No caffeine –
(what happened to the I before e, except after c rule?)
Not quite ready to pull an all-nighter, though.
Definitely good,and looks delicious.
That ice cream looks amazing. I would have eaten it all.
Ooh yum!
That looks like a real treat! Yummy❗️
Treats and drink not available when I was a kid!!!! or 20, or 30, or 40, or 50, or 60 or 70 or wait ………….. maybe not until last week!!! 🙂
I think caffeine is probably from the French and i after e is an English rule. Salted caramel is now one of my favorites. A local ice cream maker around here (Albany NY) had salted caramel mochalicious as a special flavor last month and it was delicious. Stewarts, for any of you upstate New Yorkers.
Is it alcoholic beer?
Oh no alcohol. It’s like root beer.

Sorry I do tend to get carried away at times.
I hope you are copying and pasting this list instead of typing each exception to that old rule! Thank you for sharing. Who knew there were so many?
I think I may have to make an entire post illustrating your list.
Apparently there are actually around 1,000 words that defy the rule. These were just some.
YUM. And glad to hear you didn’t pull an all-nighter. Sleep is important!
