Sunday, sundae Sunday! Here’s a simple beauty; a scoop each of our non-boozy chocolate and vanilla ice creams with mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, some hot fudge and sweet hot peanut butter sauce, topped with just a dash of whipped cream all nestled in a fresh baked waffle cup! Breakfast anyone… 😆

Sunday scripture: Romans 12:4-5 KJB… “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”

The church or “called out assembly” in this age of grace is called the body of Christ. As Christ Himself is (for the time) not present in the world, He’s left us here to minister to this fallen world “in His stead” (2 Cor 5:20). The body is made up of every kind of person imaginable and each one of us is no more or less important than another. As with our physical human bodies, each part, every part has a critical function, without which the entire body would collapse. So too is Christs body here on earth. Every member has their own function within their own spheres of influence. No one part is any more or less critical to the bodies functioning as a whole.

Since members are being added every day (thank our longsuffering God) I must assume that His body is not yet complete! To communicate Gods amazing grace to anyone who’ll listen (or read, as the case may be), I consider an honor above honors! I pray sincerely that my words offend no one; rather, cause as many as possible to consider becoming a part of His body (ask any member how) and encourage those members already to be bold in the Lord, speaking His truth to a world that desperately needs to hear it, in whatever form that may take! May we be a blessing to one another as we are all part of the greater whole which is Christ Himself, His physical presence here on earth!

May this day be a blessing to you and everyone you come into contact with! Come on by the shop and enjoy a beautiful sundae on this lovely Sunday! We would love to create something special just for you!

Took this shot from the mezzanine as Joel Scarbrough was performing; sounded great last night Joel! I took it to show y’all that Cleo’s having a tag sale in the shop today! Zoom in on all those interesting nic-nac’s and see what’s there. Better yet, swing by a take a peek; you never know what you might find! There’s stuff from decades ago sitting on those tables! You just might find that particular item you never knew you needed so badly and can’t live without, until you lay eyes on it today… 😆

Cloudy start to this Saturday. I see some showers off to our south but nothin’ over our heads. Looks like we may even see some sun this afternoon! It’s warm for January too; I’ll take it! Tomorrow looks even nicer… 😎 That said, the forecast for next week looks perfectly awful; rain, rain and more rain. The only silver lining to these clouds is that the precipitation ain’t gonna be snow! The sky’s clear by Friday though and that’s a fine thing cause we got Bedlam Station taking our stage at 7:00… 🤠

Take advantage of the nice weather and get yourselves out and about while the gettin’s good! I’ve gotten a ton of ice cream made this week with more to make today cause our scoopers keep scoopin’ and our patrons keep asking for more! The relationship works out well, it does… 😉 Y’all enjoy a fine Saturday, grab you a cup-o-yummy and some bricka-brack you’ll cherish forever or until your next tag sale… 🤣

What’s up McKinney Texas? It is a super fine Friday we got us right here! In just a few short hours, the weekend will officially kick off and what better way to kick it off than with some boozy ice cream and guitar music! This right here is Joel Scarbrough and he’s coming to play for us tonight at 7:00!

Joel’s a wonderful singer/songwriter and plays a variety of stringed instruments; it’s the 6-string on tap this evening! If all y’all’s Friday plans include the Historic Downtown McKinney square, be sure to swing by our place, get you a cup-o-yummy and sit a spell. Take in the sounds, feel the unique Texas atmosphere our current space provides. It’ll be a wonderful Mexican restaurant soon enough, so enjoy it while it lasts!

Slight chance for showers tomorrow but let’s just take things one day at a time. It’s gorgeous today and in the here and now, that’s all that really matters! Y’all make it a great day and we’ll hope to see a whole bunch of ya later on! The square will be hoppin’ and so will we! Until then, ciao for now friends… 😊

A long time ago, back when we were selling ice cream in the Red Canoe with only 9 flavors in a small freezer, a very distinguished looking and elegant older woman came in and asked me; “would you happen to have any rum raisin?” I had to say no of course but told her to give me a month or so and I would! “Raisin The Rummy” is the result of that request! I made some last night and took this shot of 4 boxes of golden raisins soaking in a mason jar full of Capitan Morgan Black spiced rum!

I let each batch soak for a month and wow do they get potent! Along with some vanilla bean paste, pannicotta, molasses and white chocolate, a whole bunch of those raisins get puréed up and mixed into my custom cream base. Into Big Frigid all of it goes and only moments later, Raisin The Rummy emerges ready to eat or deep freeze!

While that lovely woman never returned (I’d recognize her in a heartbeat) the ice cream she inspired has been enjoyed for years! Rum Raisin isn’t the most popular flavor on our massive menu, but the folks who like it truly love it! Those who love it tell me every time that our version is by far the best of the best! Next time y’all are in, give the Rummy a try and see if you agree… 😉

It’s Friday Eve and y’all know what that means! The weekend arrives tomorrow with live music starting at 7:00… 😁 Your friend and ours Joel Scarbrough Music is coming to town to sing and play the night away! Gotta love Joel; he plays a guitar, a banjo AND a mandolin; just not all at the same time… 😆 Come on by and say hi tonight or we’ll see y’all tomorrow and toast the weekend together!

The Pantry Restaurant Downtown McKinney, Texas has been in existence for 40 years. That is one amazing run ain’t it? This particular sign has been hanging in this particular spot years before the Meredith’s wisely purchased the business and the building twenty years ago! The history here is remarkable and if this sign could talk, oh the stories it could tell. At one point in time, way before we became Texans, The Pantry was the only restaurant in the historic district. A great deal has changed since then, many more restaurants have entered the market and now, The Pantry is no more.

During our almost three years stay we’ve talked to countless numbers of folks who fondly remember dining here as youngsters; growing up enjoying lunches and Sunday brunches after church! Many now bring their own children keeping family traditions alive. There can be no doubt that The Pantry has created and left a very big impression in our cities history. It will be missed by many.

Cocktail Creamery relocated to the spot in the midst of an extremely difficult time. We are thankful to the Meredith’s for giving us the opportunity and the room to grow our business throughout that time. We both prospered tremendously via the partnership and while I’m saddened to see it slip away, we remain grateful the circumstance arose at all. Sharyn and I want to wish Tom and Cleo the best their new life in retirement has to offer; we wish them grace and peace in the Lord and much success in whatever ventures they choose to undertake in the future. Blessings as well to their daughter Allison who brightened the shop with her many helpful appearances!

If anyone’s up for some boozy ice cream on this rainy day, we’ll be there. The Pantry may be empty of it’s people but it’s still full of amazing memories! And us till April 1’st… 😊
