Friendly's Caramel Waffle Cone Ice Cream Bars


[New for 2024] To be honest, based on Friendly's current lineup, I'm not expecting much from these bars. Last year's ice cream bars were ok, but not so good that they would force me to try these... but I do need me a mowing snack, so let's crack open a box of....

Ice Cream for Breakfast


You know what? I miss touting ice cream for breakfast, and since it's National Ice Cream Day, why not show you my breakfast from The Broadway Restaurant in Worcester, MA. 


We've been trying to get to a place that had some kind of ice cream offering for breakfast, and on a day full of errands and appointments, we finally managed to stop at a place that served waffles with their homemade ice cream. It wasn't amazing, but it was good (my biggest complaint is that it was a little icy). You know what I was thinking though right? Yeah, this needs some crushed cereal on top to add both crunch and a #funfactor.

If you're doing something today to celebrate this food holiday that's an actual official documented national holiday, leave your story in the comments!

Flannel Cow Creamery


The other day, my coworker sent me a picture of himself holding the PB Blaster Sundae from Flannel Cow Creamery in Mansfield, MA. Any place that has homemade ice cream and serves something called a PB Blaster requires a visit.

The latest and greatest limited edition is this Cookies 'n Cream Cheesecake ice cream. Yeah, that seems like it could be fun and I would totally try it if I could!

Nostalgia Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Mix


Well, it's been over 10 years, but I'm finally going to pull the Cuisanart Ice-20 out from underneath the cabinet and make some ice cream. Actually, it's been closer to 15 years since I was truly trying to make ice cream. Anyway, what finally got the Ice-20 out of the cabinet? Well, I was in Walmart one morning and walked past several flavors of Nostalgia brand ice cream mix and decided to bring home...

Van Leeuwen Malted Cookie Dough Shake Ice Cream


[New for pints in 2023] The name caught my attention, but will it amuse me? Also, apologies, but I ate it back in February! I actually thought they maybe it left shelves completely (as in a limited edition flavor), but I have started seeing it on shelves again. Anyway, let's take a scoop of....
