Tuesday’s Treasury: We all scream for….

turtle bar

Ninja Turtle Ice Cream Bar

In case you didn’t know, yesterday was National Ice Cream Day..and I celebrated VERY generously! ;)

I considered making a treasury that was Batman themed since the new movie is coming out this weekend (like you needed a reminder!), but the internet seems to be well stocked with Batman info, so I thought we would use Tuesday’s Treasury as a nice getaway from Batmania. And what’s a better snack to clear your mind than some ice cream? Am I right??
Another reason why I chose ice cream as a theme? ICE CREAM IS AWESOME! I know it, you know it. Even Vegans and Lactose Intolerant people  know it because non dairy ice cream is always picked over at the health food store!

And like many food products, companies have found a way to geekify this wonderful treat–remember Ninja Turtle Ice Cream Bars?? I remember chasing down the ice cream man when I was a kid, just so I could get my hands on Turtle Ice Cream bars, or Tweety Bird  bars and eat the bubble gum eye balls first! And I’ve later found out that Blue Bunny still makes them! I haven’t been able to find any of them here in Michigan but I did find this website based in Maryland called Circus Ice Cream inc. that offers a delivery service through their website as long as they can get to your  doorstep  in two days! Normally, purchasing Ice Cream over the internet would not sound appealing to me, but I would gladly make an exception for this childhood favorite– and they don’t stop at Tweety Birds–they have Iron Man, Batman, SpongeBob, and lots more!

Avengers Party!!! Yum!!!

4 May

melvin avengersToday is the much anticipated release of the Avengers movie… and you know what that means.  It means Melvin and I have a hunger to rival the Hulk, and believe me, you wouldn’t like us when we’re hungry.

Also, do you remember Marti’s awesome Avengers Party post from earlier this week?  There were a few fancy gadgets in her featured treasury that will come in quite handy in our recipes today.  So put on your Captain America oven mitts, grab your Thor hammer shot glass and get ready for some delicious Avengers Party food!

Our Avengers Party menu consists of Captain America meatloaf cupcakes, Hammer of Thor strength-inducing drink and Iron Man ice cream.  Sounds delicious, eh?  Let’s get started with the Captain America dish.  You will need: Continue reading 

No one can resist a good d**k joke.

18 Sep

I’m back from my week off and do I have something exciting to share with you.

Alec Balwin you so crazy

Last week it was announced that Ben and Jerry’s were going to release their new flavor of ice cream Schweddy Balls, and let me tell you boys and girls I was excited.  Schweddy Balls are based  on a famous Saturday Night Live sketch  featuring Alec Baldwin.  The skit implies that Peter Schweddy’s balls might be more then just a holiday rum ball.  Yes the whole situation is immature and anyone that thinks such a thing is a child, but darn it sometimes you gotta love a good dick joke.  I of course being above it all decided to take the best course of action and not only tell everyone I knew of the ice cream but call my local Ben and Jerry’s multiple times to find out when the ice cream in question is coming out.

no this isn't a prank call I just want ice cream

Good news everybody the ice cream came out Thursday and I being the writing professional that will jump into the danger zone for my loyal readers have tried Schweddy Balls.

So let me describe my encounter with Schweddy Balls and the heroic tale of love, passion, and the willpower to resist the urge to make vulgar statements the whole time.

After many uncomfortable calls to my local ice cream shop I find out Schweddy Balls are due to arrive Thursday.  I wait until Thursday afternoon so as not to look to eager and waltz into Ben and Jerry’s to retrieve said ice cream.I return home and partake of Schweddy Balls with a few close friends and my loving husband.  I then ask everyone their opinion and thoughts of Schweddy Balls.

"look Chard it's just ice cream, put your clothes back on"

Bet and I both are surprised Schweddy balls doesn’t have any cinnamon or other spices in the ice cream.  We both assumed it would have a traditional holiday spice to it.

Chard prefers the chocolate balls to the malt balls in the ice cream.

My husband reacts to the rum flavor and mentions the desert having a “kick”

Most everyone else didn’t have a strong opinion either way and were a little disappointed.

Out of everyone I seemed to like it the best and even mentioned having the ice cream again.

Overall the ice cream (rum flavored with chocolate and malt balls) seemed to merely be “ok” with the only strong agreement is not to take it to any church fuction.

So in conclusion what can be said for Schweddy Balls?  Is it that good of an ice cream or just a good excuse for me to let out my Inner Frat Boy?  I think we all know the answer.
