we all scream for ice cream

Greetings all,

Oh delicious, One Green Bean asked us if we might like to taste Ben & Jerry's latest ice cream flavours.  Who wouldn't??  Our children only get dessert a couple of times a month, so when they do, we don't mind making it special.  They had never had the pleasure of Ben & Jerry's icecream before so this was exciting. 
After much family discussion we settled on 4 flavours to try & had them delivered while visiting my in-laws in Sydney.  So after dinner we cracked the lids . . .

 & we weren't disappointed . . .

 all that chunky goodness right to the top!!

 Look at the 'phish' in the Phish Food. 

Now for the judging, the children took it very seriously!!  Can you tell that i'm a scientist & it runs in the family??  The leader/ bossy/ eldest used Grandpa's black board to tabulate the results . . .

 Half Baked was the winner - it is quite literally filled with chunks of uncooked cookie dough, i know, if you love eating cookie dough while you make cookies, THIS is the icecream for you!!  It was followed closely by Phish Food.  Two of our children really don't like ice cream or sugary things at all, so this was a big step & their results were very honest.

As for we adults . . . the Phish Food was the winner, oh boy, it's like the amazing smooth meringue gelato we had in Italy in July, bursts of different flavour sensations & gooey marshmellow, mmmmmm.

Check out this happy camper, pretty pleased with himself.  A day off school to trip to Sydney & 4 flavours of ice cream for dessert, what a way to start wrapping up the school year!!
So yes, a promotional post but yummo, we'll be buying more. 
Community announcement: no diabetic grandparents were left with a sugar high after this taste testing experiment!!Now, shhhh, my husband put the Phish Food aside to have a little more after the children went to bed.  Love Posie
