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.

Ice Cream with Garlic Fries

It was another banner weekend for eating out over the weekend. On Friday we found ourselves on the North Shore again where we frequent a place that has the best pistachio ice cream I have ever had. Hodgies in Amesbury, MA is the place and I don't know how they make their ice cream so smooth and creamy but they do. By the way, there is another ice cream place in Stratham, New Hampshire called the "The Right Place" but it used to be a "Hodgies" until the name changed. Anyway, they have the same great ice cream here as well. Moving forward to Saturday... on to the Seafood Festival in Hampton Beach, NH as we have for the last couple of years. This year was a little bit different because we discovered a treat that we had never seen before. French fries that were covered with a garlic sauce and parmesan cheese. All I can say is we ate these very fast and fries don't get any better than this...Credit must go to Ronaldo's for serving up this tasty ...

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.
