ice cream rant

[jayste]

And the smaller container is easier to hold while you dig the ice cream out with the ice cream spade.:laughing:

I prefer the larger container so I can use a grain scoop!:laughing: Me likes ice cream!:thumbsup:

 

[RobertN]

Well, I did get "light" ice cream

You and Bird mention Blue Bell. Guessing regional, like Crystal is here. Guessing you get it at HEB or Wally World... When we were in Texas a year and a half ago, HEB seemed to rule Texas...

I hope all you guys eatin' ice cream come down with a severe case of toenail fungus. I'm on a diet and can't even think of eating ice cream.:drool: Last week my MIL brought over a big apple pie and a 1/2 gallon of Blue Bell ice cream to dollup on top. I had to sit there drinkin' my diet soda and refuse to eat any. Oh well. . . .

Beer. Still 12oz

Yeah, but they keep cutting down on the calories:laughing:

And ice cream spade is something I never heard of until someone mentioned it on Tractobynet. I bought the Farberware stainless steel model at Walmart and haven't used either of our ice cream scoops since. It's so much better that I'll probably never use a scoop again.

Is it a cat 1 or cat 2 spade?

 

[RobertN]

I don't think Guiness or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale have changed...

Say, have you ever made bread using flavoring grains from just made beer? In the past, after making a batch of beer, I have added a little of the grains to a fresh batch of bread dough; black patent, chocolate, and crystal grains add a nice flavor.

Yeah, but they keep cutting down on the calories:laughing:

Now, Bird, being a fan of Braum's ice cream, I would have thought that you would have bought the Braum's private labeled ice cream spade. It's the best I've run across. :laughing:

We're right on the northern edge of Blue Bell and Braum distribution. Love them both, but was disappointed with Braum's decision to go to 3 pints. They are still the best bargain around, even at the smaller size.

No, I've not tried it yet. Read about it, but haven't tried it. I 'll have to try and find a source for some spent grain and give it a shot. :thumbsup:

Here!, Here! Another vote for Braum's! For those who don't know it's a regional thing. Based in Oklahoma and distributed out to surrounding states. Good dairy products and their burgers ain't bad either!

Here's a link:

Oh! Sorry Jim!

jinman,

My wife buys low fat ice cream -Breyers I think. I can not tell the difference.
Of course just because it is "light" you still have to watch your in-take amount... so "she" says!

Yep, Robert, Blue Bell is a Texas ice cream sold in every grocery store I know of. Braum's is an Oklahoma ice cream and only sold (as far as I know) in their own stores, which sell a number of other grocery and dairy products, plus having the burgers and such as you can see in the link jayste posted. There are a lot of Braum's stores in Texas. And Braum's has the best old fashioned banana splits I know of. And my wife likes the chocolate sundae.

HEB is the big name in grocery stores from Centrai Texas south; none out here on the north side of Dallas/Ft. Worth as far as I know.

I would say I felt sorry for you, but I'd probably be lying since I don't have that kind of will power.

I feel for you. That's just wrong on so many levels. A lesser man would have folded

My rant is the change to ice milk, I think that is the ultimate downsizing to sell cheaper product to an unsuspecting public. Real ice cream is so much better but quite a bit more expensive.

 

[impdaddy]

jinman..Why diet? the NH will carry you wherever you want to go no matter your weight. and yes we love ice cream and have to look for the spade.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[looknlearn]

Man you guys are making my mouth water and I just had some fantastic mint chocolate chip ice cream a little over an hour ago. Just the mention of ice cream gets me craving it.
:licking::licking::licking::licking::licking:

 

[RobertN]

Actually, now I want to get the Iece Cream maker out and have some fresh ice cream, maybe some blackberry...

 

[Chuck52]

Anyone ever had Mayfield's out of east Tennessee? It was my favorite when I lived back home, but the family owned company was bought out a few years ago and I don't know if it is the same now.

Hmmm...Might be worth it. We usually use a regular spoon, and I have broken or bent a few...:confused2:

Beer. Still 12oz

Not at my brewery. I put the brew in 22 oz bottles.

Oh, yeah, the store bought stuff is still in 12 oz bottles.

Later,

Well, downsized or not, I am on my way to the store for some Blue Bell Vanilla Bean ice cream to eat with the half gallon of fresh picked dewberries sitting in my fridge.

As a professional Santa, I feel it is my duty to maintain a round belly that when I laugh, shakes like a bowl full of jelly. Ho Ho Ho!
