There’s a first time for everything and there’s a couple first timers goin’ on right here! I’ve never posted an ice cream shot on a Monday (first number one) along with a “New Flavor Alert” either (first number two)! I really dig mixing music with just about anything and ice cream is hardly immune. This yummy-cup-o-boozy-goodness right here I call “Pretzel Logic” after the Steely Dan 1974 album title track; let’s just say we hit it right here... (youtu.be/VMs0HmI02Y0) Man, these dudes have been around a long time writing absolutely timeless tunes and they’re still going strong! I love ‘em!!!

“What is Pretzel Logic”, you ask? Well, I’ll tell ya! It’s a Caocopat based chocolate, blended with substantial amounts of Cioccobianco (that’s Italian for white chocolate, didn’t know I was multi-bi-lingual, did ya?) and a healthy heaping helping of vanilla bean paste, infused with Evan Williams bottled in bond 100 proof bourbon! Here comes the logic part... 😉 For this ice creams inclusion, I blended small round pretzel nuggets with a whole bunch of wonderful salted caramel sauce and when they met for the first time, the combo just made perfect sense to me! And thus we have “Pretzel Logic” even if we had to twist things a little to get there... 😆 This here cup is further topped with our standard hot caramel!

We hope y’all enjoy your day today! Diana and Noah are running the show while me and Mrs Ice Cream Man have us a much needed day off! Lawn’s lookin’ mighty fine but the barn needs some work and we’ll both jump on that chore and git-r-done before tomorrow when we start prepping for the big Mckinney Oktoberfest celebration in Historic Downtown McKinney this weekend! Now that’s gonna be a blast y’all; somethin’ none of ya wanna miss! Big fun for the whole family! More on that as the week goes by! We’ll see y’all tomorrow!

Our friend Audrey took this very inviting shot late the other evening. We got several new colorful sets of tables and chairs out on our new patio for y’all to relax with! A great place to sit with a friend and talk with passers by! I’ve never been able to capture those neon signs without them looking like big bright colorful blurs so Audrey’s doing something right that I need to learn... 😁

How about a little Sunday scripture to begin the day: Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB... “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

The greatest gift ever offered fallen mankind; and offered freely with no if/then strings attached! At this time in history our creator offers salvation to each and every one of us, without exception. How sad it is for the believer who sees another that has not received such a beautiful thing. Here is the very reason for “Sunday scripture” in the first place! In the heart of every saved person is the sincere desire to see others saved. We do not coerce, strive or blackmail with threats of damnation. We present the present as the freely offered gift that it is in the hopes that hearts and minds will be moved to seek what we have found. If we boast, we boast only of Christ. There is nothing more glorious in this world than seeing the light come on in another’s eyes; when the fog of religion dissipates and the soul realizes there is nothing he can do to earn salvation, nothing as good as what Christ has already done. By faith alone then is the gift received and immediately is that soul made a part of Christ’s eternal heavenly body; with however much time we have left here to share the same with others! Thank you Father for saving my never dying soul; may many others find your most gracious gift and grab it with gusto... 😊

Yeah, this sure looks to me like a nice inviting place to sit on any given day or evening and share a little time with another over a cup of boozy goodness. Who knows what might come up in such a conversation; maybe something really great... 😉

Someone asked me a question yesterday and it made me realize I don’t talk near enough about our non-ice cream “ice creams”. You know, our sorbets which are water based sweet treats as opposed to our very rich iced “creams”. So I’m gonna! We have a big list of non-dairy options for those of y’all looking for something lighter, still very creamy, a bit more refreshing; or for those of you who are lactose intolerant. Yeah, we even tolerate the intolerant... 🤣

We have a whole bunch and a new one that has yet to be listed; you listening Art&Desig Angela? Our friend Connie requested a “Blue Hawaiian Daiquiri” and I delivered just the other day... 😎 All on this list are boozy, 100% dairy free, delicious, oh so creamy still, and very refreshing on a hot day! The perfect summer sweet treat! You can even mix ‘em with a Topo Chico and make yourself a “float” if ya like! We even got a pineapple flavor with CBD oil in it... 😉

It is still summer! At least for a few more days. Gonna be a beauty today with a high of 91 and no chance of rail Til Tuesday! Hey, that reminds me of a tune I dig; hit it... ( youtu.be/9pv1UVA1M0Y ) All y’all intolerants out there take heart, we got ya covered! Not only will we tolerate ya, we got a whole menu for ya... 😎 Come on in and get you a cup-o-non-dairy-yummy today! Oh, and in case anyone forgot, we got lots of boozy ice cream too! Voices carry! Tell your friends... 😊

Friends, yesterday was a day we was waiting for! The winner of our “free ice cream for a year” contest, the lovely Miss Renee Ashley came in and enabled me to emblazon forever on the edges of the interwebs, a photo of the world shattering event... 🤣 Renee has been a wonderful customer of ours since the very beginning. We’ve gotten to know each other well and are proud to call her (and hers) friends... 😊 She is an amazing human being and we’ll be thrilled to see her face each time she comes in to collect her prize! Congratulations Renee!!!

Sharyn and I are most fortunate to have many such customers! It’s been a wild 2+ year ride and we’ve met a whole bunch of very cool people along the way! Y’all know who you are... 😉 We so very much appreciate all who entered into our contest and hope each of ya enjoyed the challenge! Y’all may not have won the “big kahuna” but we’d like to give all of ya a free cup-o-yummy (any size) the next time you come in, just to say “thanks for playing along”... 😁

I gotta tell ya, we personally had a great time with this contest! So much so that it’s given us what we think is a pretty cool idea moving forward. Renee might be the first “free ice cream for a year” winner; but she won’t be the last... 😳 I don’t want to give too much away, but there a post coming in a few weeks of a really cool “thing” we’re having created by skilled local craftsmen Bobcat Workshop and artist Art&Desig Angela we think y’all are gonna really dig! It involves winning prizes of all shapes and sizes, and that’s all I’ma gonna say for now; your imaginations are free to run wild... 😆 Make it a beautiful Thursday and don’t forget that on Friday we got Scott A. Brooks and Tina Marzola Music bringing the tunes and good times are just waiting to be had at our place!!!
