Dippin Dots. I saw them on the Food Network, and I think I saw a store for that for the first time recently, but now I 'm afraid it might have been a dream.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All of the ice cream is like that, or just the freakishly good cake batter kind
I've only tried the cake batter kind. The last few times I've been near a Cold Stone, they had lines from hell.
Brenda, there's a Cold Stone in Wicker Park, if you get to that neighborhood. (On North Ave, a few blocks east of Damen.)

Yeah, a friend of mine works at the Evanston store, but I've yet to make it up there.
The new one on Sherman Ave? That's a few doors down from where I used to work....

In New England, you don't need Cold Stone. There's plenty of good native ice cream.

Yep. there sure are. But coldstones, it has chunky stuff that is still crunchy and tastes yum

There's one on Diversey, too, I just haven't made it down there yet.

Partly because I pass a little homemade ice cream shop (Bobtail Soda Fountain)on the way. They make a Merlot ice cream with dark chocolate slivers. Man oh man is that good.

Also, to avoid excess, I either get one and share with lori or get the kid's size.

My favorite ice-cream is the bitterwseet chocolate at Thomas Sweet in Georgetown (or Steve's? Whichever one didn't close.), though. Oh, so good.

The original Steve's, where they invented mix-ins, was down the street from where I grew up. They made the ice cream right there in the shop. Man, that place was the bizz-omb.

The lemon at Fran's remains the One True Ice Cream, but the burnt sugar caramel comes close. Jilli swears by the ginger lime with chocolate sauce on it, and I'll have to try that at some point.
Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy is also excellent.
And I have a sick fondness for B&R Daquiri Ice.

What is even happening?
In New England, you don't need Cold Stone. There's plenty of good native ice cream.
That's very true. There are more family owned private ice cream shops than chains, even. We have an excellent place in town, and when we're in York, we're really close to Brown's Ice Cream, which is always making the top 10 on all the New England Lists.
And you were right, it was Dipping Dots. I never did have them. Sigh.
