State of the Freezer - 18th Anniversary Edition

I know I'm a few days behind on this post but I did do a quick anniversary instagram post on Friday for the blog hitting it's 18th birthday.... wait, can it vote in the November elections then? HA!! Sorry, you all know that this blog is meant to be a safe space away from all the other nonsense out there. No matter how you may feel about this or that, we're all here to just celebrate our love of frozen treats.

Now we probably don't really need to cover the upstairs freezer since it's basically full of leftovers and breakfast stuff, so let's take a peak at the downstairs freezer.

I've actually got 7 reviews queued up after this post. Two of those are hiding upstairs, but the rest are from the downstairs freezer, and technically you cant even seen them because I am trying a new trick. See that brown shopping bag in the middle of the right side of the photo? It's full of different ice cream treats. I like saving boxes, but they take up a bunch of room, so I started emptying the boxes in to that bag. I'm still saving the boxes, they just wont sit in the freezer for 1 to 10 months.

So, did anything catch your eye besides the stash of Ben & Jerry's flavors? There are a few more pints you can't see (1 more B&J, 1 Talenti, 1 HD).

Time to get Jeni's back on the blog, as well as the fun cereal inspired Gifford's flavor. Canton Creamery is a newer local place to try. Hopefully it goes better than the other local place I tried recently (review in the queue). 

I bought dippin dots because fun, though i should try them before they get any older (they came out last year technically). The Tillamook bars are fine (review in the queue).

I keep forgetting the oatly and yasso are down there....  It probably doesn't show, but I've been trying a bit harder at being organized and prepping posts ahead of time. The biggest problem these days is just not having that 8pm computer energy that I had a decade or two ago. 

If I wanted to add another small excuse, there is a part of me that doesnt enjoy taking photos with my phone anymore. I think it was my S9 that took the best photos and it's been downhill since then. Granted, I'm not roaming around and taking ice cream photos in random places as I come back from the grocery store, but I dont feel like modern photos have the same pop. Meh, it could just me being older and crankier.

Anyway, I am very much still here, but oh so much older than when I started this blog. I still very much enjoy ice cream, but I can't say that I enjoy all the food science nonsense. If money, travel time, and health were non-issues, me and my wife would just go to The Flannel Cow scoop shop every day and get amazing ice cream from there.

I know some of you have been around here a long, long time. Have you grown more intolerant of the nonsense? Or maybe you've just slowed down a bit in general? I still want to tell you about everything I see, but I no longer want to buy everything I see. 

What else? Iunno, keep on truckin? I don't plan on stopping, but I'll still be shooting for a post a week though with the backlog, you will see more stuff for at least a few more weeks.

As always, feel free to comment, and also, have a good week!
