'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Alaska has the highest per capita consumption of ice cream, or at least used to. But it seems we don't have nearly as many ice cream shops as other places. People just buy it at stores. They say that the consumption is high because the population is young. I think we don't have the stores because the population density is low.
I have to admit, I defected from B&J to Coldstones. We had B&J and it just wasn't the same.
Also, last night? We had steamed chicken ravioloi with oyster mushrooms and inoki in a mushroom sauce.
So good.
I think we don't have the stores because the population density is low.
Yeah, that makes sense.
They say that the consumption is high because the population is young.
Also, if you're ever attacked by a bear, you can just drop your ice cream to make your escape.
Don't think I haven't thought of that.

That sounds yum.
Where was the original Steve's, Jesse? I remember that place as my first introduction to mix-ins, which I thought was just BRILLIANT. And still do.
Jen, did you go to school here, or grow up, here?
I went to Georgetown in DC, so that's where I first went to Steve's - was it originally a Massachusetts thing?
The Steve's we were mentioning was. I don't know if it was the same place. I think the original Steve sold it off. There's a town called Georgetown in MA. When I first saw you mention Georgetown, I figured you meant the DC school, but then I wasn't sure.
Jesse, where was that first Steve's? I went to one, but I think it was in Medford. I suppose it could have been in Somerville. I don't think it was in Cambridge. There's still one at Quincy Market, I think.
