cold stone creamery.

Last Friday, I went to Cold Stone with Neal and his 2 daughters for ice cream. Neal thought Cold Stone would be closed because other ice cream joints closed on October 1st for the winter.

Believe it or not, it was somewhat busy when we went in to get our servings of hand-made gourmet ice cream, prepared in our selections of flavors and toppings. When it was my turn to order, I wasn't sure what I wanted. We had already eaten at Don Pablo's for dinner and I was so full! That sure didn't help my ice cream decision-making.

Finally, I thought of something and made my choices. I'm not a big fan of dishes or desserts made with pumpkin. But this time, because pumpkin happened to be a seasonal flavor. Why not? It only comes around the Fall season! I ordered 'Like It' size of:

• pumpkin ice cream
• crushed graham crackers
• crushed pecans (I prefer roasted, but I don't see any)
• hot caramel syrup
• whipped cream (I didn't use whipped cream, but I know other people love it on pumpkin desserts)

Neal and his 2 daughters asked me what did I order. I thought about it and all I could come up with is "Pumpkin Pie Delight" ice cream.

Not bad for a seasonal, gourmet ice cream!
