good call....I'm a fan of Umpqua ice cream....their vanilla chocolate fudge chip is amazing.. Tillamook is also really good...only thing I ever buy in Dairy Mart is Umpqua ice cream or milk....maybe biscuits and gravy if I'm going fishing
That's a dream job. I learned to love ice cream starting when I was a toddler and immediately fell in love with it. I've loved it ever since. My wife makes the best biscuits and gravy you've ever wrapped your lips around. She uses Jimmy Dean sausage and mixes it half hot and half mild. She uses half and half and crescent rolls. She thickens the sausage gravy with a little bit of flour. I add black ground pepper. She then freezes a small amount of Orange Juice on the bottom of a thick glass then fills the glass with orange juice which she then freezes until there is a thin layer of frozen orange juice on top. After eating some spicy biscuits and gravy the ice cold orange juice is phenomenal. To be honest, it's too good for others to eat which means more for me.
Chocolate ice cream is too much chocolate for me. Sometimes I like to add just a tiny bit of chocolate syrup and stir it until mixed and then eat what I call vanilla with just a hint of chocolate. Wish I could buy it that way.
Really good vanilla is far from boring. An ice cream shop in Santa Barbara serves ice cream in chocolate bowls. Est ice cream, then eat bowl. Another goodie is homemade salted caramel. Pick apples, bake pie, serve just warm with salted caramel ice cream and warm caramel sauce. Made with heavy cream. I do that on Thanksgiving sometimes.
Speaking of sweet apples, I love those red ones that you use to get at all the fairs long ago aka candied apples.
I love fair food. Candy/Caramel apples, elephant ears, real corn dogs, deep fried oreos, turkey legs... I need to go eat
Over the lockdown period I ate way too much ice cream....only have two pair of pants that fit comfortably now so I have been on an ice cream fast for two months now.....for a year and a half of covid I had ice cream after every dinner.....not a great move on my part.
