Affogato and Bears

 One thing I don't drink is coffee. But if you give me ice cream I will take it :-)

My favorite bears!

Affogato

 Starbucks is having frappucino happy hour from 3-5 - of course I couldn't pass! I tried the vanilla bean frap since I've been enjoying the flavor very much because of this:

Remember my blueberry crumble post? Move over blueberry crumble! My our new favorite flavor is vanilla bean espresso. It's a mix of vanilla ice cream with an espresso swirl tasting like affogato. so so so good!

For those who are wondering, Mr. P was missing so his good friend Mr. Tomato filled in for him :)

Blueberry Crumble- BEST flavor ever!

Last weekend, we found a new flavor that we now call "flavor of the millenium".... While I was shopping at the supermarket, I see a lady with 10+ pints of this new haagen dazs ice cream and think to myself why on earth would anyone buy more than 3 of the same flavor. Don't you get sick of it? So I tell the hubs about this "crazy" lady with a cart full of same ice cream and now the hubs wants to try it himself. So I walk back to the ice cream aisle, and of course there is no more blueberry crumble (which I really didn't mind since I didn't know how it would taste). So he tells me to go find the lady and steal one from her cart....which of course I did not do. So the next time I was at the supermarket, I was determined to try this new flavor and bought one (I should have bought ten...). Came home and had a bite.....

Oh haagen-dazs! You did an amazing job!! So SO Soooooo good! Blueberry ice cream mixed with buttery crunchy crumbles T.T I die... I wish all the ice cream flavors had crumble pieces inside- vanilla crumble, coffee crumble, strawberry crumble (I should write an email to haagen dazs).

So we got some more and ate some more and now we only have 3 left....T.T  So the next time you go to the market, don't forget to check if they have blueberry crumble-it's a limited edition so you better hurry! Ok off I go to the fridge....

Ice Cream Ramen

Can you imagine eating this?

ewww.... It's like heavy cream in ramen. I do love how the eggs turned out though!

Sweet Treat

We got the dulce de leche caramel dazzler.....Don't get it! They put too much caramel. But the banana was delicious! And of course the ice cream was heaven...

Felt Art

My store is participating! Yesterday while I was out to Michael's (art supplies store) I realized it was like 4:46 and happy hour is almost over...So we turned the car (legally) and headed to starbucks and got a venti green tea frap! mmmm tastes so good when its only $2.46 :)

Meanwhile, my artsy side has taken over me (so did my love for bubble tea) and I decorated a wooden frame I had bought.

I wasn't sure what I was doing at first so I just cut out the pieces.

I glued them together and ta-da! Now I am craving for bubble tea more than ever.

I'm going to tell you what flavors the colors represent. Starting from the right top and going clockwise : royal milk tea, strawberry milk tea, green tea, passion fruit, thai iced tea, and coffee (I am such a dork and this was so unnecessary.)

And then I felt like this project ended too fast, so I made some popsicles and ice cream and cupcake.

The popsicles represent life saver popsicles (which they don't have in my area). After making all this, I'm done with felt art, and now I am moving on to this world of amazement (which I will tell you in my next post).

Have a great weekend!

guava & fries

These days, my love for tropical fruit and bubble tea is at a peak, so I decided to get myself a tropical drink at the international section of my supermarket. Since we were at hawaii a couple of months ago, we decided to get the guava drink.

It came in this can that was unbreakable, and the juice was very very very thick. And it even smelled a bit vinegary. After we drank half of it, I realized that I had bought guava nectar....which is used for cooking and baking I believe. Oops! But no worries, nothing has happened and we are  A-okay.

After drinking nectar, I had to clear out my mouth, so we went to go get some McDonalds.

Does anyone else dip their fries in a sundae or milkshake? It really tastes like heaven (with a lot of cholesterol).

Mango Ice Cream

Ok, so I tried this mango ice cream from haagen dazs, and I usually never look at the nutrition facts or the ingredients, but guess what I found :

Next to ingredients, it says "carrot juice concentrate", but before that it says "pumpkin juice concentrate" (I was stupid enough to cut off the pumpkin part). What has pumpkin and carrot have to do with mango flavor? maybe the color?

The plastic spoon inside is literally just a plastic stick, so I used my own spoon (I miss the wooden spoons). The first few bites were amazing, but after I read the carrot and the pumpkin, it started tasting very vegetably. Next time I want to try the dulce de leche or the passion fruit flavor...has anyone tried it? 

Ice Cream review

I've been wanting to try this flavor for the longest time, and finally tried it! I was expecting some tropical sensationisque sorbet taste, but it was very very creamy with pineapple chunks and coconut bits. I'm not much of a shredded coconut fan (although I love everything else coconut), so I don't enjoy the coconut bits, but do LOVE the pineapple chunks.

I'm still finishing up the pint, so I'm not sure if I'll love it till the very last bite- but you ice cream lovers out there should definitely give it a try! But I warned you- it's very creamy!

Blizzard

Last night we went to Dairy Queen to go get the "buy 1 blizzard, get 1 for 25 cents".

I got this....but I couldn't finish it last night (I have to admit that it didn't do somersaults in my mouth), so I'm eating it now. Love leftovers!

It's a great deal, so don't miss out!

I am craving...

Starbucks Coffee Jelly Frappucino
At first it tasted kind of funky, but you get used to the jelly inside...it's like trying bubble tea for the first time.
Biggest setback: only sold in Asia


Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ice Cream
Biggest setback: discontinued - I haven't seen this in so long.
However, our supermarket now has Haagen-Dazs Green Tea ice cream! (but it's suppose to be a limited edition)must stock up before it goes away!


Lay's Ketchup Chips
My Canadian friend first introduced me to this wonderful flavor of ketchup, and before trying it, I thought it sounded a little too "original". But then again there is a Salt and Vinegar flavor, so why not ketchup? Next to come: Mustard Chips!
Biggest setback: only sold in Canada

However, a couple of months ago, I found a really good substitute (in the U.S. of A!)

but I don't really crave this since I have 2 bags in my pantry. Cravings seem to go away when you have things in your kitchen. sucka!
