Flash in the Pan

New England is a hotbed for great ice cream, even during the winter, which might make you wonder about the sanity of the populace. My family is cheerfully in the cold treat camp, and it means somethign when each of us is trying to get to an ice cream brand before anyone else. That's what it's been like with Tahoe Creamery ice cream - fabulous texture and marvelous flavors. The vanilla is as good as I've had, and that's saying a lot. I even liked the Coffee Crunchy Toffee and the Mint Chip, though I'm typically not a big fan of coffee or mint ice cream. Thumbs up also on the Flow Cookie Dough. I only wish that some of the blueberry flavor had been included, as I've become a convert to blueberry ice cream made with wild Maine berries, and a comparison would have been fun. If you're in the mood for a treat, head to the Tahoe Creamery web site. At $39 for six pints packed in dry ice (not counting shipping), it's not cheap. But it is really good.
