Stone Cold Creamery

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 ingredients on a cold board in front of you. You can also get a waffle cone or a waffle bowl. It is a delicious place and very different because you can get what you want...and if you give them a tip the group sings a song. I keep mistakenly calling the place Stone Cold Creamery and my wife yells at me every time. "It's Cold Stone Creamery! She screams...

Move forward another year and there is some very exciting news. My wife heard from her mother that there would be a Cold Stone Creamery in Nashua, New Hampshire. As soon as it openned we were there and ordered the same mix as we always do...German Chocolate Cake and my peanut butter cups mix.

Now, we have an ice cream place that is even open in the winter...and that can be difficult to find in New England. Needless to say we have been to Nashua and even back to Hingham many many times. And I continue to drive my wife crazy...

No Ice Cream in the desert

It's been awhile since I've posted and for good reason. The holidays were very busy this year with the typical craziness and hair pulling that goes along with trying to buy my wife gifts. Needless to say, 90% of what I buy gets returned and I spend a couple of more months making up for the my poor decisions. Of course this has nothing to do with food but it answers the question of the lack of posts for awhile. And we have the typical discussions about moving to someplace warm after another frigid New Hampshire day. But the conversations always go back to food and especially ice cream. It is almost impossible to find good ice cream during the winter months and we dream about our favorite places and visiting for the first time. Needless to say my wife's mother loves Ice Cream as well and we received a call today that Hayward's Ice Cream in Nashua, NH would be opening on February 17th... Stop the presses, the drought will soon be over.

The Best Ice Cream in Town

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.

Pot of Gold

I want to tell you about a restaurant that we have been to many times because of their fantastic Corn Beef Hash. You might think...What's the big deal? If you love this stuff you should really take a trip to Greenfields in Litchfield, New Hampshire. This isn't out of a can but home made with big hunks of corn beef and potatoes. There is one dish that my wife loves called "The Pot of Gold" that includes the home-made corned beef and eggs with a cheese sauce over the top. Bring your appetite. Another favorite is the Breakfast Burrito that is grilled and filled with eggs, veggies and bacon, ham or sausage. They have other standard breakfast items but we go for the best corn beef hash arround. Stardate 2010, March. Greenfields closed and was replaced by the seafood restaurant Woodmans. We will miss the corned beef hash at Greenfields:( We did try Woodmans and we were dissapointed. The seafood wasn't great and it was expensive for the money.
