Why hello there, readers. Are you enjoying the National Cherry Festival? Have you had a cherry sundae yet this season? I’ve yet to partake in any of the festivities or fair food finds, but I will get there. Soon. Really.
In the meantime, I just remembered that I forgot to post a flurry from a while back. Such a long time ago that I can’t even remember when, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even officially summer yet. So that’s my big “oops.”
And our flurry choice was also a big “oops.” This spring, we were really into pretzels. Every night for a while, we’d sit on the porch and eat pretzels. And chat, people-watch and eat more pretzels. So when we went to the Dairy Lodge and saw the sign that proclaimed that they were offering a new flurry flavor, pretzel (!), I jumped. I think I even squealed on the inside. But we kind of had a hankering for chocolate too so we decided to order a half Take Five, half pretzel flurry. But Take Five already has pretzel in it! Yes. Did I mention we were on a pretzel kick?
So… it was terrible. Ice cream and pretzels, which are two of my favorite foods, really should not be combined. So I picked around the pretzel bits and scooped up the melty ice cream and was happy with that. Bits of the chocolate goodness from the Take Five bar were just OK too, but they tasted a bit stale… Sigh.
Onward and upward. Really hoping they have a fresh cherry sundae on the menu this week since fresh local sweet cherries are everywhere. Stay tuned!
Ash! The salty pretzel and the sweet ice cream should have hit a great balance. Sad… do you think spitting it out on the sidewalk would have sent a better signal of your discontent?
