Rickabodcranes daily travels

A few years ago my wife and her mom took a road trip to Florida. Both of them love ice cream and on there way through South Carolina they stumbled across a goldmine that they had never heard of...Cold Stone Creamery and so the story begins... Move forward about a year and we are on one of our joy rides to no-where south of Boston heading towards...we had no idea. I took one of the Hingham exits to get gas and there was a mall there that looked interesting and we decided to take a look. As we were driving about my wife saw what she had seen on her trip before...Cold Stone Creamery "We have to go to this place" She harped. I don't think there is anyone who loves ice cream more than my wife so I agreed and we went for the door. Let's just say the place was mobbed with people. She had the German Chocolate Cake and I had some type of mix with vanilla ice cream, peanut butter cups, brownies and chocolate sauce. They take out a mound of ice cream and mix in the in

Well, another weekend has come and gone and you guessed it? There was no eating in or home cooked meals. My wife has been on a Lobster Roll frenzy and she recently saw VB from the Fox morning show munching on a lobster roll at the Clam Box. The result was a road trip to Ipswich, MA to try one. When we arrived there was a long line out the door as we have heard is commonplace. We viewed the menu and she decided on a lobster roll and I went with the fried shrimp. After much debate we added an order of onion rings. I thought that would be the end but I had to try some of the clams after all the reviews that I read on the wall at the Clam Box. I've never been a huge fan of fried clams but I decided to give them a try. We sat down to a feast and it was some of the best food we have ever tasted. The lobster roll was delicious with large chunks and just the right amount of mayonaise. The clam strips were perfect and I might even try the whole ones the next time. N

We recently discovered a great place for ice cream in Concord, New Hampshire. You could call us ice cream snobs because we only like the home made kind if you know what I mean? The place is called Granite State Candy and they have some of the best ice cream around. My personal favorite is "Moon Tracks" but they have many others. Anyway, our journey continues to find the best foods in New England and the world.
