Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself!
Last week I made a pledge to myself that I was going put a hiatus on my ice cream consumption. However, on our way home from visiting my aunt in Stafford, we were driving through the town of Tolland and I saw an Xtramart that was serving soft-serve. This wasn’t a normal route that we take, so I said the hell with my hiatus and jumped at this chance to get some soft-serve in a new town.
This is an Exxon gas station with an XtraMart convenience store that serves their own soft/serve product. They have chocolate and vanilla and offer cones, cups, shakes and ice cream sandwiches. Much to Maureen’s, my soft serve specialist, shock their machines were not operating. But much to my surprise they have a nice selection of pre-made mixes and ice cream sandwiches.
I went for a chocolate-vanilla sandwich with a nice cake-like cookie that was well made, firm ice cream with a soft, tasty cookie.
On our way home we stopped at one of my favorite places in Connecticut..Safari Mini-Golf in Berlin. Maureen and I play several times a year and track our scores for the season and the winner gets a prize. You guessed it…ice cream.
Some times you just have to laugh at yourself!
