We're Ice Cream Junkies

Those who know us, know we like ice cream. We always have ice cream available in our home freezer. When we go somewhere, we usually find an ice cream parlor to try. When away from home we like to try gelato. Usually we have a bowl of ice cream every evening about an hour or so after supper. The grandchildren think it's special to come to Paw Paw's house and have ice cream because they have a choice of flavors.

For several years we have been faithful to Blue Bell. It's just good ice cream. There are some flavors that we aren't overly fond of, but we like the vast majority of flavors we try.

We always like to have a choice of flavors on hand. Since we eat so much, we try to load up when it is on sale. Well, it was on sale this weekend. We were down to a partial half gallon of Home Style Vanilla.

Now we have a fine choice to last us until the next sale. We have Butter Pecan, Chocolate Chip, Dutch Chocolate, Strawberries and Cream, Chocolate Brownie Overload, Mocha Almond Fudge, Pecan Pralines and Cream, Groom's Cake, and the remainder of the Home Style Vanilla.

Grooms Cake is a new flavor that we liked so much, I went back to get another half gallon for future consumption. It consists of chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate coated strawberry hearts, swirls of strawberry sauce and chocolate icing.

So, if you're in the neighborhood and have an ice cream attack, stop by. We love to share.
