Damn you, Ben & Jerry's

Flourless Chocolate Cake sounds delicious (although a lot like Brownie Batter) but why only Wal-Mart? Are you AC/DC now?

Their Boston Cream Pie ain't too shabby

True! And I bought a carton of Milk & Cookies. I plan on trying all 6. Anyone try Mission to Marzipan? I dunno if I want to buy a whole pint.

boston creme was excellent. i think what did me in are those pastry creme swirls. need to pick up more.

as for mission to marzipan. first reaction was that it tasted exactly like one of those almond cookies you get from your corner chinese joint. sweet, not cloyingly, [lately i've been rather sensitive to stuff being overly sweet, i unfortunately now find twix candy bars being completely inedible unless slowly nibbled and drunk with lots of water] with toasted almonds with vanilla flavors. i find the marzipan swirls pull bit a back on the sweetness and vanilla flavors and allows more of the almond to come thru. very nice ice cream, although i'm finding the boston creme is edging it out more for me.

Mission to Marzipan is great if it's late at night and you're in a certain state of mind. I would not approach it as "serious" ice cream.

I still haven't been able to find Key Lime.

I think that's done. But I found it at the 7-11 at 2600 Lincoln. If you find them there again, let me know. It was great stuff.

I can't wait for this to come out. Their raspberry Greek yogurt was incredible.

...and still is! I also really enjoy the blueberry graham swirl, which is part of their Greek yogurt line. The PB & bananas...not so much.

And now they have Pineapple Passionfruit and Honey Vanilla Caramel Greek Yogurts! I hope Jewel or Target are having a twofer sale soon...
If anyone hears about one, please let me know.

Ask and you shall receive. Both flavors were in stock this afternoon at the Jewel on Broadway & Addison, priced at 2 for $7.

Guess I know where I'm headed at lunch today.

Meanwhile, in Milwaukee:

"Just returned from restocking our display freezer from its barren state. KK Whiskey, Olive Oil, Balsamic Strawberry and many more delicious flavors. ..."

The first thing to know about olive oil ice cream is there is nothing oily about it. The oil actually creates a smooth texture that can't be duplicated. When this hits your pallete you will truly understand. Second, the fruity tones of the olive oil accent and coellesce with the sweetness of the ice cream along with the mellow underlying pepper tones. Lastly, the natural hue from the oil simply creates a beautiful ice cream. - See more at: http://purpledooricecream.com/blog/olive-oil-ice-cream-seriously--14#sthash.aXI2YziI.dpuf

I've been dying to try this stuff. Race you there!

Purple Door Scoop Shop
138 W. Bruce
Milwaukee, WI 53204

There are four flavors available only at Target: Volun-tiramisu, Berry Voluntary, Brownie Chew-Gooder and Peanut Butter World. They were out of Brownie Chew Gooder but now my freezer is nicely stuffed.

I saw a huge display of Purple Door flavors at the Piggly Wiggly in Racine on Washington Ave. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
