    Am I seeing that right? Is that ice cream on bread???

    Seriously? :/

    I assumed it was a joke.

    That kinda made me laugh because I just discovered this food truck existed today.

    How do I get this truck to come to Ohio?

    Can we pool money together for it? Has to be cheaper than flying to Houston.

    It's a wonder they didn't advertise for Arctic Zero.

    Contains two pet-peeves of mine-- substitution foods and misuse of the word "literally."

    I'm not sure it is misused. I once, just outside of a dive bar, saw a crispy cookie slash a mouthy calorie, so there's that.

    I'll have to go check out that other thread.

    I tried Talenti's triple chocolate today. It was really good, but I'm a chocolate freak and was in a "gimme chocolate or else" mood. :lol:

    I don't think I mentioned my opinion of their Tahitian Vanilla that I tried a few weeks ago. I think this was the first Talenti gelato that really disappointed me. I was expecting a rich vanilla flavor, but it was more tart (I saw lemon juice in the ingredient list, too). I prefer a full, rich vanilla, personally.

    OK, I checked out the 7 "hacks" and I really don't get any of them, except maybe using a thin cookie. (Only because sometimes those are super yummy). Yeah ... beet ice cream? Why? I love beets, but I can't imagine them for an ice cream flavor. "Or another similar vegetable, like carrots." Um, carrot flavored ice cream? Just no.

    Mmm, maybe a quick deep fry, too, and it would be lovely. :mrgreen:

    I can actually see the beet thing. Not for me, mind you, but they used to use beets to flavor red velvet cake so I can understand the idea.

    @mathjulz Talenti Triple Chocolate?

    I'm disappointed there are not a lot of delicious July 4th dessert pictures.

    We had some chocolate cake with buttermilk frosting for my husband's birthday. Not my picture but it looked just like this

    Still have half of it left in the fridge actually, but I got to stay away (and it's going to end in the freezer tonight anyway).

    Fourth of July for me is much more about beer and barbecue than desserts... We had awesome steaks and red wine Friday night, then last night did hot dogs, moonshine brats, and s'mores (traditional, no Summer Peeps) with quite a few coronas thrown in as well.

    Next week I am on a long weekend girls trip with friends to Central Coast California, so I am sure I will have some great meals but again, heavy focus on wine....

    Well my vacation is starting tomorrow so I'm sure I'll get some good meals and desserts in there. Will take pictures!

    I forgot to take pics. I made Nutter Butter/Butterfinger cheesecake bars. They all disappeared pretty quickly.

    This week is my vacation too and Mr. Acrylics has some really cool restaurants picked out so I should have lots of good pics.

    My bad ... double checked the container and it was double dark chocolate. Dark chocolate gelato with dark chocolate mix ins. I don't know why my brain translated that to triple :angry: (Does the dark count as a third? haha)
    Sorry for the confusion!

    Double Dark Chocolate is one of the best anyway, so you're forgiven

    For the 4th, I had some ice cream at Marble Slab and the Ben and Jerry's in Galveston. I tried the gone bananas coconut cream pie flavor at Slab, which was pretty enjoyable, and the Speculoos Cookie Core, which I admittedly wasn't the biggest fan of.

    My husband tried telling me that we eat "entirely too much ice cream". :lol::joy::joy:

    The next day we got another tub. :sunglasses:
