iCream

I'll admit it. i was intrigued by the smoke and mirrors.

Well, really just the smoke. No mirrors to speak of.

Plus one point for having a "cream soda" flavor. Yum. Minus one point, however, because I was encouraged to pair it with pomegranate. Perhaps it was my mistake for following their advice? But, I was so overwhelmed by all of their options that I just followed their directions blindly.

The end result was light and fruity. The ice-cream was not very creamy or rich, so it was easy to eat the whole cup. And I felt their "small" size was very generous.

Downside? 5 dollars for a small!!! That is some expensive so-so ice-cream.

I am somewhat interested in finding out about the hot pudding though. I do love me some puddin'.

Red Mango (Evanston)

soooooooooooo delicious and refreshing. AND GUILT FREE!!!!!!!!! Wooohooo!!!!!!!!!

Only downsides? only two tables in the whole joint and about a dollar too expensive.

George's Ice-Cream and Sweets

Walked over here last night after dinner with my mom to try their ice-cream for the first time. Once inside though I found myself completely wooed by their delicious looking sweets. Um red velvet cake, HELLO??? my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

But, because I went there for ice-cream I made myself stick to the plan. Which I later regretted.

Their ice-cream is super delicious. Just like lots of other ice cream . . . like my delicious ben and jerrys that i already own in my fridge. what i don't have in my fridge is scrumptious red velvet cake. see why i made the wrong choice?

I will be back. And I will get my cake.

I finally got my cake! And it was just as a delicious as I thought it was going to be. In fact, this time instead of making myself choose between ice cream and cake I just got both. And seriously, it was the best decision ever. Because what tastes better than cake? Cake and ice cream! I might have been a bit skeptical of George's deliciousness before, but now I'm a true convert.
