Ice Cream in March? Oh Yeah Baby!!!


Dave and I decided it was time for us to have a FUN weekend and do some things we don't normally do.

So we thought that since we had these great gift certificates (given to me by one of my wonderful hypnomoms) for Cold Stone Creamery, we'd drive out and see if their ice cream creations were everything that Jessica and Josh have made them out to be.

First, I should explain that the idea of "Cold Stone Creamery" is to combine all sorts of yummy toppings in with the homemade ice cream of your choice to create a delicious concoction that you are sure to love. And all the ingredients are blended and chopped together as you watch on a cold granite slab that keeps the ice cream from melting.

They had an incredible number of toppings to choose from ... all your favorite candy bars and candies, nuts, brownies, cake -- you pick what you'd like. Or you can choose one of Cold Stone's signature combinations (which is what we did.)

And let me tell you... awesome doesn't give the Strawberry Shortcake Sensation enough credit. Delicious doesn't come close either. Heavenly is a possibility but somehow doesn't seem quite right. But I get warm and fuzzy just thinking about how yummy it tasted!

Dave had "At the Cocoa Banana Cabana" and since I didn't even get a taste, I'm pretty sure it was equally as good as mine was. We checked out their ice cream cakes and Dave was checking with the staff about whether it would stay cold to bring some out to Mo.

What a terrific gift to receive -- it only cost us $.78 after the gift certificate and we were able to try something totally new and different. We're already looking forward to going back. And I doubt we'll be waiting for warm weather!

And how convenient -- right near the Pittsford Wegmans that sells Dave's sushi :)
