Cookies and Cream

Whenever Kellee and I get together we always enjoy talking about cooking, crafts, and decorating things.  One thing always leads to another.  I’m not even sure how this came up, but she handed me this cookie sandwich maker and said, “Here.  Take this home and try it.  Let me know how it works out.”  I took it home and we’ve actually used a few times.  I’m not sure Kellee will ever get this thing back.  I’m sure you could just stick ice cream in between two cookies, but what fun would that be when there is this neat little contraption?  I believe this ice cream sandwich maker also creates less mess and makes the sandwiches a little bit more uniform.  Plus it was a fun toy for Rebecca to play with.

You can get really creative with your sandwiches like this. 

Starbucks Ice Cream

Whoa! I'm native to Seattle. I grew up with Starbucks. When Jared and I got married we moved to Ft Wayne, Indiana. There was no Starbucks there. It was devastating. Finally, our last year in Ft Wayne, Starbucks opened two shops. I can't believe I made it that long without Starbucks. It was almost 5 years. Every time we went back to Seattle or even just at the Sea-Tac airport I had to have Starbucks. We're in Colorado now. I've got two maybe three Starbucks within a mile of my house. I know which ones are drive thru and which aren't. I think it's an addiction I have, kind of like an alcoholic with alcohol. No, I'm not that bad. I think living in Ft. Wayne without Starbucks may have helped. However, have you seen the latest Starbucks product? Ice cream. That's right. How can it get any better? Coffee and ice cream are already some of the best things on earth. Now to put them together at the same time is just perfect! Here's a coupon for $1 off. Now go get some. It may become my new favorite especially since it's now summer.
