seasoning. if you make a bland meal, it can turn a good night bad.
i like to taste as i go, using salt, pepper, and some spices.
yellow curry with tofu and tons of fresh veggies.
my own!!
I've finally found the best mix of shortening and butter for my crust, and the perfect mix of types of apples.
i can't eat anything else, when it comes to apple pie!
How many people does it take to cook hamburgers on a grill?
Five.
And one to order Pizza.
Too much lighter fluid, wet charcoals. Someone had the bright idea to put them under the broiler in the oven. Grease fire, and then an oven filled with flour.
The pizza was only o.k.
Did anybody else notice that Tubby's has an almost identical flavor "yellow butter brickle road" to this new Ben & Jerry's "goodbye yellow brickle road" flavor?
I second Deb07 ~ You didn't go to Big Daddy's?????
North Street Dairy Cone, Waterville, Maine! We did a tour of New England a year ago and sought out great ice cream. This was definitely on the A list.
I'm glad they came to Lizzy's here in Waltham, MA, but I'm disappointed that they only gave it 3 out of 5 scoops. IMHO it's vastly superior to Herrell's. Perhaps they need to try some different flavors than the ones they had. I'd recommend the Maple Walnut, the Black Raspberry and, most importantly, the Chocolate Orgy.
@daniell719 and butterface - Kimball's? Really? I think Brigham's is better than Kimball's. (Also, it's definitely not in central Mass! Bedford's still considered metro-Boston....)
@JayFallon - When Steve's closed, they were handing out all their old signs and equipment - I still have the wooden "Junior Mints" sign from their flavors board! Tear.
I was talking about Maine, to specify.
Yes, we did visit Kimball Farms...and could not believe their HUGE portions! All 50 places just simply couldn't fit in the short article above! For the full list, check out www.roadfooddigest.com and click on The Best New England Ice Cream!
What about Kimball Farm Ice Cream in Carlisle, Mass?! Their ice cream is so good, and it looks like the Roadfooders sampled it. That's their cup in the bottom center of the pictures above. Did it just not fit in the article?
Glad they got in Dr. Mike's in Bethel, CT (there's also another location in Monroe). The chocolate lace is amazing, although I have the worst—or best, depending on how you see it—bomb of a food coma. Definitely stick with a child's serving, as it's more than enough...
I've also got to mention the Creamery in Newtown, CT. Apt name for sure. ;)
We used to swear that Ashley's Coffee Oreo was quite possibly the greatest single scoop of ice cream ever made, so we certainly hear you! After visiting so many ice cream shops around New England though, it still ranks highly but just isn't at the very top of our list.
The best part of doing the ice cream tour was finding out all of these additional suggestions from everyone! We are hoping to visit a bunch more (in a less formal sort of way!) in the future!
