Our blue ribbon niece.
Spent the afternoon with our niece Jackie who is an animal science major at UCONN. Not only does Jackie have a job at the horse barn she is also an award winning calf trainer. Yesterday she won first place in her division at the cattle show.
Since we were at UCONN this was a great opportunity to checkout the UCONN Dairy Bar. It’s been years since I last visited this place and it did not disappoint. Despite the 48-degree temperature there was a line out the door when we arrived. They have all the basics and some unique creations. The placed was pack and the line long but the students behind the counter were hopping. All of their ice cream products are created locally in an on campus Creamery.
Jackie had a sugar cone with chocolate fudge ice cream and a side of gummie bears. Maureen went for a two-scoop sundae with coconut chip and chocolate fudge, although it was light on the chocolate chips. As usual I had an extra thick coffee milkshake with a scoop of chocolate. I think we all agreed the ice cream was rich and creamy and good to the last lick.
There’s a good reason families from the northeast part of Connecticut flock to the campus and a lot of it has to do with this Creamery. For us it was a chance to see our blue ribbon niece!
