Scribbles About Food: Ice Cream and Gloria Jeans

This is kind of random... but I wanted to do a Scribble About food and I wanted to include some Ice Cream flavors/brands that are new to me and I tried something at Gloria Jeans that I think is limited edition and I wanted to include it here... so I'm gonna start with that.

Caramel Coconut Macadamia Nut Chiller from Gloria Jeans 

Not sure how readily available Gloria Jeans is, but if you can find one stop there because pretty much everything is good... and this is particularly amazing. For some reason I'm not sure if this has coconut in it or not... I feel like there was... it was good. It was like the Caramel Coco Cluster from Starbucks, but not with mocha. They put a lot of caramel in mine and it was really really good.

Yuengling Root Beer Float Ice Cream 

So there's been a craze around here of a brand of beer called "Not Your Fathers Root Beer" and as of now I have yet to try that... I will do a scribble about food of that once I try it. I have a 6 pack, but I'm saving it for a friends birthday. I may post that scribble about food before this one.

Also in general I just love Root Beer Floats. Who doesn't? My mom saw this brand was on sale and picked up this and a few other flavors for me. It doesn't taste like Yuengling at all, and it really has nothing to do with the beer. Apparently during prohibition Yuengling started selling ice cream and they've continued it.

And its good. It has the texture of a root beer float type of texture. Its really interesting and would work well for a root beer float I think. Its really good. I recommend, especially if you love root beer floats!

Friendly's Ice Cream Cones 

So Friendly's has some good ice creams and they have cones that are kind of like Nestle Drumsticks and... I kind of prefer frozen cones to cones that you can get yourself... I'll explain why they are so amazing in a little bit.

So there are 2 flavors that I've tried. One Vanilla dipped in chocolate with crushed up oreos on the outside and one raspberry one dipped in chocolate with oreo crunches in a CHOCOLATE CONE!

And why are cones so much better from the freezer because they need to line CHOCOLATE into the cone... so there is a lot of chocolate and that makes everything tastier right?

Anyway Friendly was one of my favorite restaurants to get Ice Cream at and the ice cream in this cone is just as good as the ice cream in friendly stores... its really good and I love it!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
