Sweet Cleansing! LOL So yummy and yet, sounds so dirty! IN.

Day 1 - Ben & Jerry's - Salted Caramel Core. This was a great one. The brownies could have been bigger though. 
Day 2 - Graeters - Salted Caramel. I expected to see caramel swirls or something when I opened it but it wasn't there. However, the caramel flavor was intense. Nice and sweet. 
Day 3 - Ben & Jerry's - Half Baked. This has been one of my favorites for a long time now. 
Day 4- Graeters - Salted Caramel 
Day 5 - Ben & Jerry's - Half Baked 
Day 6 - Häagen Dazs - Caramelized Banana Chocolate Chip Gelato. This was very good. The banana could have been a little more intense imo but it was not lacking banana flavor at all 
Day 7 - (1) Sam's Choice - Moose Tracks, (1) Eddy's Grand Ice Cream - Smores. Moose Tracks was a big let down. It tasted like pure vanilla ice cream. Barely any chocolate and the pb cups weRren't all that. Eddy's Smores was great. It has quite a few layers of flavor. I honestly think this one is better than the Ben & Jerry's version. 
Day 8 - Giffords Ice cream- Maine Wild Blueberry, Talenti - Alphonso Mango.  The Giffords was very creamy and had a very nice taste to it.  It wasn't an overpowering flavor of blueberries which was perfectly fine with me.  I'm not sure I could see myself eating it all the time but it was a nice treat for every now and then.  The Talenti Alphonso Mango,  growing up in a city with lots of Hispanic culture and spending lots of time in Colombia,  I have eaten my fair share of mangos and then some so the bar is set rather high with me.  I might have set my expectations to high. I found it to be a little bitter at first with an after taste that did take it more towards the sweet side but not sweet enough. 
Day 9 - Talenti - Caramel Cookie Crunch - This was the last serving I had left.  For some odd reason I enjoyed it more this time than the other times.  I had a nice amount of cookies. Might buy again.
Day 10 - Talenti - German Chocolate Cake - Oh my chocolate god. I have been recommended so many ice creams and gelato's that I have just been disappointed with before. This was not one of them.  I'm glad I read so many people raving about it today that I went out and finally got it.  From the first bite I seriously thought I was eating an awesome creamy cake.  The layers of chocolate were great.  As far as texture goes smooth, creamy and crunchy. It had it all.  I hate you Talenti for setting the chocolate bar so high.
Day 11 - Eddy's Smores Ice cream
Day 12 -  Talenti - German Chocolate Cake - I know i already reviewed this one but I have to admit that I didn't know it had coconut in it.  I'm usually not a fan of coconut after having a terrible experience in Colombia being forced to eat it for 30 straight day but in this gelato the coconut really gives it another great layer of flavor. 
Day 13 - Greater's - Caramel Truffle Gelato.   The base on this one was pretty much the same as the Salted caramel which I loved. The caramel truffles were very nice, crunchy, with a great taste.  If I could say 1 negative about this gelato is it could have used more truffles.
Day 13 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan Gelato - This one straight tasted like candy.  At first I thought it didn't have enough pecans but I was wrong, they were everywhere.  I did enjoy it but it was a little to sweet to make it an everyday selection. 
Day 14 - Three twins Ice Cream - Cookies and cream
Day 15 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan Gelato
Day 16 - Talenti - Fudge Brownie - This one was good.  Chocolate base had a nice flavor to it but the whole thing itself was lacking brownie pieces.  It could have used at least twice as much as it had.
Day 17 - Häagen Dazs - Stracciatella gelato.   Had a nice flavor to it and the chocolate shavings were pretty good. 
Day 18 - Greater's - Caramel Truffle Gelato
Day 19 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan Gelato
Day 19 -  Il Laboratorio Del Gelato in Soho - Gelatopaluza
Day 20 - Steve's - Banana pudding ice cream - From the first bite I was immediately surprised of the intense banana flavor this ice cream had.  It was not to sweet at all and was unlike most of the other banana ice creams I've had that were simply lacking.  The entire time I ate it i had to fight of the urge to go into the kitchen and use the rest of the ice cream to make a nice large banana milk shake. This ice cream would be perfect for that.
Day 21 - Häagen Dazs - White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle - I'm not a fan of raspberry but I still wanted to try it.  From the first bite it reminded me of a Quest bar.  I'm not a raspberry expert so i can't say if that's good or bad.  Either way, this ice cream was good but I won't be purchasing it again.
Day 22 - Graeters - Caramel Truffle Gelato
Day 23 - Graeters - Caramel Truffle Gelato mixed with Talenti - Fudge Brownie
Day 24 - Gelato Fiasco - Peanut Butter Stracciatella - This was a choice that was highly recommended by someone that works at Fairway.  I had seen it before obviously but knew nothing about the brand.   I took a $7 shot on it.  I don't know if I remember ever eating a PB ice cream or gelato where I was literally crunching on peanuts.  It was rather nice.  The chocolate pieces were not bitter at all and complemented it well.  Another one of the main ingredients is Sea Salt which I'm glad the added.  It gave it another layer of flavor which I enjoy.  I would recommend this one and I will be trying a few other flavors that are out.
Day 25 - Gelato Fiasco - Sea Salt Caramel - This wasn't going to be choice for tonight but I figured I'd give the caramel a shot.  I thought there would be more visible caramel when I opened it but there wasn't.  The texture was great however. The taste was more of a butter cream than anything.  Very rich.  I did enjoy it but it would have been better if the caramel was more prevalent.
Day 26 Desert at Cold Stone Creamery,   which I regret.  I guess I've gotten used to better stuff than this.  It did not sit well.  I don't see myself going there again.  Not worth the $17.
Day 27 - Twix Ice Cream - Needless to say this one was pretty good.  If you ever ate the Twix Ice cream bar you would like this one even though the bar is better.
Day 28 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan
Day 29 - Ben & Jerry's - Peanut Butter Cup - It was ok. I've had much better PB ice cream.

Seems like it's just you and me.

Party of 2!!!!

I'll bring the bagels you bring the ice cream.

Dang, you have almost a half a month left! I'll keep posting in here so you don't feel alone when MrM27 and Acrylics are done. :bigsmile: I finished up the HD caramelized banana chip and Talenti caramel apple pie for breakfast. I brought the German chocolate cake to work yesterday. I realized I had no chocolate here, so I needed to fix that.

I will be lurking around a bit too. i'm just not on as much as before because i'm crazy busy with finals.

I think i just inadvertently started a honey cleanse. I just had some of Jeni's Banana + Honey and Pistachio + Honey ice creams. Now i am drinking green tea with honey, and for dinner i am having chicken bites dipped in honey.

I need to get some pistachio. I didn't realize how good it was until I got some at a local place at the beginning of the cleanse. Honey on chicken is delicious! Good luck with your finals!

Yup. Gonna be here for a bit! LOL Besides, I have all of these delicious ice creams to finish off! :bigsmile: You know, I've never had store bought Pistachio ice cream. I have a Vitamix, so I make my own that is dairy free! I could eat the entire batch. The last one we made, we put in dark chocolate chips. I didn't care for that but hubby loved it. I don't like the 'crunch'. But then realized if I was going to do the chips, might as well add in a few more crushed pistachios so the crunch fits. OH YEAH!!!!
