Not just any quest, we’re talking Knights of the Round Table Quest!
I spent the day with my good friend Jae Lorenzet. Jae and I grew up together in Stafford and shared an apartment in college. Jae was the first follower of this blog and continues to give me constant encouragement in this quest. In fact he put out a call on Facebook for recommendations for his friend on a quest.
After a nice hike up Soapstone Mountain in Somers, we enjoyed some spectacular ice cream at “The Scoop” in Ellington. Lots of history in this beautiful farm town. The Scoop is a nice place in a small strip mall in the center of Ellington but this is not your typical ice cream place. It’s open year round and has a nice following. They sell hard ice cream and sorbet, but nothing standard in this place. Their “ice cream” product is from a place called SoCo Creamery in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and none of the flavors I saw were typical…all are somewhat exotic.
I had a Mexicali chocolate milkshake that was thick, creamy and very tasty. This is a lite cocoa ice cream with a mix of cinnamon, cayenne, mint, and espresso, which is a really nice combo. My friend Jae had three scoops…mocha chip and strawberry jam which was also insane.
I have to admit it my quest will be taking me back to Ellington…and not just to see my buddy Jae!
