Back for More

So, I got an email from B&J's ChunkMail service (which should be sent more often), informing B&J Nation that Pumpkin Cheesecake, a wonderful Fall flavor is coming back for a short run. Add it to your shopping lists.. you hear me !!

Melted Pies

Folks, run don't walk to get a limited batch pint of "Snickerdoodle Cookie", which is a little like "GingerSnap" - same ginger bite, caramel ice cream, wonderfully textured. Funny how their chocolate-based concoctions aren't always my faves; I prefer their flavors that are more like melted pies.

Not How I Planned It

I somehow lost the lid to 'Berry Voluntary', which would make it difficult to include it in my re-fashioned photo album for B&J ice cream lids.
Of course, the genesis for this is that I need to get spaces for more lids, since the album is full. But, instead, I think I'll just get another similar album for lids - New and Old Testament, as it were.
In the next wk, I'll add the (if I can find it) BV lid, the Brownie Choo Gooder lid and the Snickerdoodle Cookie lid. Wow, don't lead an exciting life?

Back for More

Searching for new or untried flavors notwithstanding, I often purchase 'older' B&J flavors, because I like them so much. High on this list are Key Lime Pie, Cinnamon Buns, One Sweet Whirled and S'Mores.

The Big W

After dropping off my daughter at daycare today, I drove to WalMart to see if they stocked any "Flourless Chocolate Cake" pints. Not only did they not, but they didn't have ANY B&J flavors. I suppose I'd need to visit one of those Super Duper Walmarts. There's one maybe 15 miles from here, which is officially in schlep territory. Not sure I want to make that drive JUST for a flavor, but you never know.

To sleep, perchance to...

Sometimes, I literally have dreams that I'm in a different city (usually NYC) and I come across B&J flavors that not only hadn't I tried, but that I didn't even know existed.
This isn't necessarily an unfounded premise. I can count about 5-8 of the many flavors I've tried that were NOT part of a new year's batch, whose existence seemed a little kismet-ish. This is why I still visit the ice cream section of stores I go to. You never know.

Last night, when I visited WholeFoods, I saw a new flavor called "Snickerdoodle Cookie", which I thought was only available in scoop shops. Tonight, I learnt that Walmart carries a Walmart-only Limited Batch flavor called "Flourless Chocolate Cake". I think I've been to Walmart maybe 3x in my life; the last time was to get quick items that I was giving away to a homeless shelter. I suppose I'll have to visit one; there's one maybe 5 miles from my house, but NOT on my commute. Alas...

79 (or 85) and counting

Last night, my wife and I polished off a pint of Berry Voluntary, which is flavor number 79, I think. Or maybe it's 85. I don't know.
