There’s an ice cream shop in/around the Boston College campus called White Mountain Creamery. I wondered if the place was a franchise because it certainly didn’t feel like one. It has the atmosphere of a favorite student hangout. Wood floor, tables and chairs. A B.C. Eagles banner hangs from the ceiling. At 10pm last night it was filled with students. They had the look of freshmen reluctant to let the orientation week mentality go. Two guys, one in a straw cowboy hat the other in a trucker cap, were playing chess with plastic men. Posted on their, “today’s specials” board was banana coconut ice cream. So I ordered two scoops of that in a waffle bowl and asked for whipped cream, cookie dough and hot fudge on top. Merle ordered a ridiculously large chocolate whipped cream sundae with nuts, brownies and everything else. We sat in between a large group of Chinese students and three loud girls with one very bored looking guy. Half of them were talking of cell phones. Merle ate about half of her monstrosity, I finished all of mine with the exception of three cookie dough balls. It was delicious. The End.

*hisses at the thought of another ice cream store* I do love cookie dough though! You know, at our store, we tried baking one of the cookie dough rounds…and it was a disgusting cookie! Sounds really loud though, not good for digestion. I hate loud. Like last night, we got a line of 30 people all within two minutes, and it was really loud. Yuck.

Yes, it is a franchise. There’s one here too. Too expensive for me to go to though. Wait… that was just a wondering comment, right? You knew it was a franchise… Man, my brain is way off today. Now I’m craving more sugar and I’ve really just had too much.

Mmm…ice cream. I’d prefer something a little more erotic–I mean, exotic–but ice cream is a good substitute. For the time being. I’m glad you’re finding some things to enjoy in your new home.

I’m jealous. We don’t have ice-cream places like that around here….I guess Western Kentucky is too small of a place. For those kinds of ice-cream goodies, I have to travel to Nashville!!! I know, I know…….Coconut is def. not my thing, so having birthdays one day apart doesn’t mean you’ll like the same food, lol. I got the counter off creatblog.com, but if you want to live vicariously through my birthday counter go ahead. I don’t mind 🙂
