    I just entered the Salted Caramel Peanut & Tiramisu in grams for those who want to weigh the Talenti out.

    Not my picture, too lazy to bother. Tried this tonight, I enjoyed it hoping there's more peanut butter cookie dough and caramel in the middle that was on the light side, but there's so much going on it might be a good thing. Would definitely buy it again.

    Either today or tomorrow I'll be stalking all the ice cream aisles to see what new flavors I can get.

    Struck out on finding the new Haagen Dazs, but did stock up on the three cookie core B&J flavors. I got the peanut butter one for Mr. Acrylics-- I most like peanut butter only if it's with chocolate.

    Another store, another... nothing. They had that midnight cookie Haagen Dazs one but that's pretty much it.

    I went to every store before I finally asked them to order it. I'm in a town with a target today. Maybe I'll get lucky before I head home:)

    I went back to Giant before work today & bought Turkey Hill Party Cake for $1.99 & two more of the Ben & Jerry's Peanut Buttah Cookie flavors. I found the Talenti Oatmeal Raisin Cookie & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & now only need to find the Raspberry Cheesecake.

    Just tried some of the Talenti Cookie Dough & while it's rather creamy & the cookie dough chunks are tasty, there's nothing really special about it.

    I was informed about the Jimmy Fallon flavor Friday, but they didn't have it at my store and I wasn't going to more than one store since it was a madhouse preparing for yesterday storm. My boyfriend and I love Americone Dream. I still can't tell if it's about the flavor or if it's just because it's Stephen Colbert. Either way, still good.

    It burns me up that I live in one of the main cities in the US and I can't find these flavors you guys are finding. I'm going to go ahead and blame Obama. And the French.

    It's always Obama's fault! But I can't believe you can't find them these were all at my regular grocery store.

    Since I bought so much Talenti I didn't even look at the Haagen dazs section.... that will have to wait

    I'm honestly surprised that Giant had almost all of the new Talenti flavors. I was hoping they would have had the Haagen Dazs Ginger Molasses Cookie.

    I already gave my nieces & nephews the Cookie Dough since I didn't care for it.

    Tonight was haaaaagen daaaaaz gelato, the cherry and amaretto. Added a little scotch, Jura 16 year.

    What did you think of it? I thought it was kind of meh, but I'm sure scotch would have made it better.

    Derp, sorry, missed this @emily_stew‌ I thought it was ok, decent texture, good flavor. All in all, not bad. Especially for something I bought at the supermarket.

    The scotch made everything about that night better.

    Ok, so, I had a bit of a mind *kitten* tonight.

    Foie gras ice cream. Seriously, the nutty and earthiness of fresh foie gras, in a decadently perfect custard base. The texture was amazing, and the flavor was top notch, very opened up by the serving temperature. I do believe there was a little xantham gum in use, because it was served just a hair under freezing. Not very sweet, served in a small quenelle, just. Amazing.

    Best ice cream of my life. I'm *kitten* for wanting more.

    My FIL is a Frozen Foods Manager at Kroger. I didn't even think of this!

    I bought two flavors of gelato from a local grocery. It's their store brand (i.e. no nutritional info). I got Lemon Blueberry and Maple Bacon because it was on sale. The lemon blueberry wasn't bad. Really prevelent lemon flavor with bits of lemon zest and frozen blueberries. I couldn't taste the blueberries, but I'm not sure if it's because it's hidden or because I ruined my tongue eating a bunch of salt & vinegar potato chips.

    Last night was Talenti Oatmeal Raisin Cookie - No picture cause I was too lazy. I enjoyed it, texture was slightly off for me, flavor was spot on, just like eating one of my cookies. Probably won't get again.

    Finally found the Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core Ice Cream and got it on sale at Shoprite. Can't wait to try it... but today it's Breyer's Tirimisu Gelato.

    Even the nice HEB didn't have The Tonight Dough...

    I settled on Blue Bell creole cream cheese and krazy kookie dough. The cream cheese is good but rather plain on it's own, decent base for some mix-ins. Haven't tried the cookie dough flavor yet but I've been craving the stuff for a while.

    Did they have it at Safeway, or were you just looking for it? I think I'm going to have to make a stop at Giant and look for the new Talenti flavors. Stupid Sarah talked me out of getting the hazelnut Talenti at Target, and ever since then they've been out of stock!
