What’s Your flavor?

I can’t tell you how good it is to be back home. God did some amazing things through our team and I couldn’t be more proud of each one them. I will be buried the next couple of days in e-mails, phone calls and make-up meetings but it was totally worth it.

I took this picture on one of our last days. It’s the Dominican ice cream man…

I saw my co-worker asked this same question yesterday but let’s give it a try…What’s your favorite kind of ice cream?

Mine is chocolate chip. If I’m feeling crazy, maybe mint chocolate chip. I know, I know, I’m boring.

    You know I can’t pass up commenting on a blog about FOOD! I’m a “nut” for peanut butter ice cream…but love our local ice cream hot spot Mel-o-Creme’s Hot Fudge Sundae made with fat free sugar free vanillia ice cream…I’m not kidding…it’s the greatest!

    You think you’re boring, my favorite is vanilla. I will suffer with Butter Pecan or chocolate on anything.

    @melissa duncan Melissa’s must think alike. I love only Peanut Butter & Chocolate, and Mint Chocolate Chip from Baskin Robins. Nothing else will suffice. This has been my combo for decades.

    Cold ice cream is my favorite! :-)
    Let me tell you, this guy in the photo is selling Skim Ice and it rocks, especially after a hard days work in the DR.

    @pete I loved spending this past week with you, Anne and the entire Crosspoint team. What a great week. What do we do now buddy?

    Howdy Pete. At the moment mine is Mint N’ Chip from a place out here called Thrifty. AMAZING. Actually the store is now called Rite Aid but they still sell the ice cream. I’ve loved it since I was 6-7 but just recently fell head over heels for it. Probably has something to do with the heat out here. Otherwise the runners-up would be Dreyer’s Rocky Road or Cookies N’ Cream or Oatmeal Cookie Chunk from B&J. Yummy!

    my favorite’s either mint chocolate chip or the Better Batter/Cake Batter/Birthday Cake (whatever it’s called) at Maggie Moos with one of the fresh fruit mix ins. i don’t eat it much anymore, though, so it’s really a treat when i get to!

    Ben and Jerry’s Karmel Sutra.

    Since I am by nature a ‘smart alec’, I will have to answer this one a little differently. You asked what “kind” of ice cream was preferred (not what flavor) so I will have to say the kind that you can make into a banana split. Or home made….something about a person making their own ice cream that puts it over the edge – unless, like my wife, you forget to add the sugar. Amazingly, that is a necessary ingredient to ice cream.
