the weather is weird (again)

 some days it's cold & snowy, as you'd expect for this time of year. 

then for a day or two, it's 20+ degrees warmer with sunshine & maybe some rain.

climate change is real and it is confusing as well as worrying.

more ice cream

 today was favorite day "gourmet" triple chocolate truffle and cream a-licious  caramel pound cake.

the chocolate was a bit better than the caramel stuff. both were hard to dish out. the chocolate had chocolate swirls that were hare to get through because they were cold & the caramel had a layer of caramel top of the ice cream.

ice cream bonanza!

 went to target and discovered a bunch of ice cream flavors that lookeded interesting. we ended up with 9 pints! that will be divided between my brother and myself.

today we had s'mores from the target brand favorite day gourmet & peach cobbler from a brand we never heard of called cream a-licious, which is some southern brand.

the s'mores had dark chocolate, which is never good. and the peach cobbler had too much cinnamon. cinnamon is like garlic in savory dishes, people add too much thinking it enhances the flavor, but that's all you end up tasting. also, it is used to hide the fact that the food item is made with cheap ingredients.

valentines day 2022

 hope you had a nice holiday today.

and you can get discounted candy tomorrow. or today, as the case may be.

it's such a bummer that wal-mart & target start moving stuff out days before the holiday and rarely do a discount any more.

the rest ot the van leeuwwn ice cream

 we had the other 3; sicilian pistachio (my brother insisted we get it), brown sugar chunk, with cookie dough, brownies & walnuts and peanut butter brownie chip.

the pistachio was an odd gray-ish green with a vague taste of the nut. the BSC was ok as the base ice cream flavor, but the brownies were not really good. the PB itself was not too bad, but again the brownies were not.

noting to get again. especially at the price they charge.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

its a company that sell ice cream in brooklyn. they make french ice cream, which means it as extra eggs yokes.

discovered this brand at wal-mart the other day. 5 of the ones they had looked interesting, so we bought them.

had the honeycomb & the earl grey tea today.

they were OK. but the problem with earl grey tea is the bergamot oil, that come from the rind of a type of orange.

it is not cheap either.

hershey's strawberry cream hearts

 they're milk chocolate (of course) small-ish, in a bag of like 30-something. they're not too bad. best in small doses. probaly won't get again.

like the raspberry kit kats, they have a strong smell of their flavor, but because of the chocolate don't have a powerful taste.
