[By Nick] National Ice Cream Month might be over but I'm going to give you a reason to eat more ice cream sundaes if you live in my area. I've partnered up with the awesome folks over at the
Ben & Jerry's in Saratoga Springs to raise money for a local charity. For the month of August, a portion of their proceeds from sundae sales will be going to
Shelters of Saratoga. It's pretty simple, for each sundae sold, some of the proceeds will be going to help out Shelters of Saratoga. You don't have to mention it or anything (though of course I'll appreciate it if you say Nick or On Second Scoop sent you). So join
#Sundaes4Shelters by heading over to
34 Phila Street in Saratoga Springs and getting your sundae fix. Not only will you be treating yourself, but you'll be doing good for others in the process. I know that not all of you will be able to participate in this but maybe it'll give you the initiative to talk with your local store to see if they can hold a fund-raiser for a charity that means something to you in your area.
While working out this promotion with the Saratoga Springs shop's owner Patrick, he offered me a banana boat of some of the new/limited batch flavors he had to offer. I haven't been in a scoop shop in years and there was no way I could turn down free ice cream. So from left to right we have
Salted Caramel Blondie,
Gilly's Catastrophic Crunch,
Lazy Sunday and
Turtle Cheesecake.
