Ice Cream, anyone?


What flavor ice cream do you like? Some like strawberry, some chocolate and others settle for plain ole vanilla. Grandson Tighe is having a difficult time making up his mind.

                                                        
     Me, I love butter pecan.

Do you say Pea can?  or pecaun? I say 'pecaun' but no matter what you call it, ice cream filled with crunchy pecans is wonderful.

My favorite place to go for a cone of ice cream is Smithfield Ice Cream Parlor.. that's on Main Street in Smithfield, Virginia.  The 1950s atmosphere is appealing and pleasant, the staff friendly and helpful. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood. If you aren't, that's okay, I'll eat your share!!

  3. something that sounds like "pehcon"...I used to say "pehcan" but stopped because it tended to give people the wobblies!

    there aren't to many flavors of ice cream I don't like, however ice cream is on the list of things that aren't good for my healthy cholesterol level. so other than a bit of a binge at my Son's home over the Christmas Holidays (since I don't buy ice cream) I forego this wonderful treat!

  6. That looks like a nice place to go for ice cream! I say "Pecaun," too. Chocolate used to always be my favorite, but as I get older, I find I'm liking other flavors. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment!

  12. I used to take one of my little grandsons for ice cream and his favorite was Coffee..mine was Black Cherry. He would stand and stare at the ice cream counter for what seemed like an hour...I'd say, Brooks, you know you want Coffee...go ahead and order it...he'd say, but Memaw, what if I decide I'd like YOURS best?...so of course, this Memaw said, well, get one coffee and one dip of Black Cherry. The biggest grin would spread all over that sweet little face. He is about to turn 19....bwaaaaaa, now I want him back little. :)
