TODAY ONLY: Save Big on a Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker

Tired of waiting for your canister to freeze? Want to make ice cream one-and-a-half quart after one-and-a-half quart? Want to save a lot on on a Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker?

Thanks to Marsha of First Things First, you can do all these things, today only! She gave us a heads up about an awesome deal on Sellout.Woot -- while supplies last! $139 plus $5 shipping for the ice cream maker, that usually sells for $200+ on places like Amazon.

Please note that this is a "refurbished product with genuine Cuisinart parts." as stated on the Sellout.Woot page.

Ok, this post is done! I want to get this up for you all before it sells out!!!

I Scream 2010


I think I mentioned it before, my husband Kevin (our most recent team member who we are anxiously awaiting a post from) and I are due to have a little baby girl in August. However, this being  when the annual I Scream Party usually is, we decided to have it early this year.

I am also having back and rib pain thanks to our little girl and it's hard to be seated for long. Standing or lying down are ok, though, so since I couldn't do as much designing or art as I'd have liked, but I wanted to feel productive, I actually made a lot more ice cream than I planned on (since I can stand while making it!). I think we had 46 flavors this year, six of which were brought by guests, six of which were made with help from Rachel (who also took the photos that grace this post), one which I made with the help of Kevin and Claudia (because no one can candy bacon like Kevin does! -- well, maybe David Lebovitz can...) and the remaining 33 which I made myself...

Below is the feedback from the flavors this year. (There is always voting, but this is the first time I actually put it in a table because guests ALWAYS ask about it...) Over time, I will try to get a list made up of the recipes -- either where I got them (if I remember), how I made them (if I remember)...but this will take time so if there are special requests to get things up faster, do let me know...

Sister Arianna thinks that the voting categories are a bit vague -- maybe I'll have to change it next year. I see what she means. I mean, "like" and "love" are kind of one extreme and "never again" is totally the opposite, with no in between. Maybe neat time we could rate it from 1-10? I don't know. I'll have to think about it. Maybe I could use the ice cream rating guidelines I saw somewhere -- it looked kind of like how one might rate wine. But that, too, seems a little extreme for a party. Maybe I just have to rename the categories for voting...

Creative names are courtesy of my family...Mom, Sarah, Arianna, Dad, and Liam. Liam and Dad can take credit for any of the names that are somewhat, um, racy.

I enjoyed charting the results this year. I LOVE charts. I am such a geek. (I think there are some spelling errors/typos...you'll have to ignore those...)

The charts are below. However, you'll have to click on them for a better view, as the set up of a blog is not conducive to that many flavors of ice cream.































Well, I am off to have some Ernie's Birthday Cake Oreo...

Scooper Bowl 2010...oh how we already miss you!

From the desk of Bethany: 

I think it would be kind of cool for both Tina and I to wrote a little about the Scooper Bowl and since I am on the couch relaxing and catching up from the Annual Ice Cream Party (more to follow) I thought I would take a bit of time to write my post.


For me, the Scooper Bowl always kind of kicks off the summer for me, even though the weather this year was kind of dreary and overcast and chilly to say the least...


This was a pretty cool Scooper Bowl though. A month or so ago we got an email from Russell over at Ice Cream Geek (your super awesome source for the science behind the ice cream making...) saying he'd be in Boston (from Dallas) for the Scooper Bowl this year. I have to admit, T and I were both slackers about replying and then when we did reply, we suggested we meet at the end or even after because the usual Scooper Bowl craziness seemed a little tough for meeting a new ice cream friend. But it turned out the Scooper Bowl was a little emptier thanks to the dreary weather and we ended up meeting Russell and his lovely wife Kathey in the confines of the Bowl's fences. (That's me, Tina, and Russell above.) What fun people! We had a nice time talking ice cream (favorite flavors of the day, the science behind ice cream -- the kind of stuff people with an ice cream obsession might talk about...) Tina had to get back to work but I had some time before my next meeting downtown. I joined Russell and Kathey for lunch at Wagamama (a favorite of theirs from their days in Sydney -- and, we come to find out, all three of the United States locations are in Boston so they just had to go!) Anyway, conversation continued to follow with talk of ice cream (well, duh) and some recommendations of Boston tourism. We really had a great time and hope to see them at next year's event!







From the desk of Tina: 



I agree with Bethany that Scooper Bowl is such a kick off to the summer and an event that really gets us excited to launch into our busy blogging season. It gets us chatting about all the different brands and flavors and how we might be able to do it better (no all the time of course but we try!). So since I work right around the corner in the city we usually do an ice cream lunch and I have one precious hour to hit up all the flavors or as many as I can handle. It's not as easy as you think to have 30 scoops in one hour. Really have to be selective. And this year it was even more exciting as Bethany mentioned we hooked up with another ice cream blogger whose wife labels him "The Alton Brown of Ice Cream"...seriously he truly knows the science of ice cream...so cool chatting with another person so into the art. So B and I did our rounds then went for seconds with Russell and Kathey before I had to unfortunately go back to my desk and try not to fall into an ice cream coma (very difficult by the way). 

As you can see below we had some favorites. Each year we see many of the same flavors but I am always excited for what's new. My favorite from the "what's new" category was Ben & Jerry's Bonnaroo Buzz. LOVE the coffee and malt ice cream and then the whiskey caramel swirl was as they say in Boston Wicked good! Others worth noting from me....Brighams' Peppermint Stick, Ciao Bella's Key Lime Graham Gelato, Haagen-Dazs Caramel Cone, and Gifford's Chocolate Lover's Chocolate.

All in all this event never disappoints even if the weather didn't work on our behalf (actually the rain helped us...so much less elbowing for scoops) and I want to thank Dana for supplying us with tickets to raffle off to our lucky winner Laurie (we'd love to hear all about your visit Laurie!). I can't believe I have to wait another year for this but it really got me excited for what's ahead during these next couple hot months.





Of course, a Scooper Bowl post wouldn't be complete without some flavor reviews, so we've posted below all the flavors and our comments...


The list below is copied from the Scooper Bowl site, and is the ranking from their "Text Your Favorite" -- our comments are next to it each (if we tried it). Bethany in orange, Tina in pink...

Ben & Jerry's® Boston Cream Pie 10.40%
I had actually already tried this one the day before, but I LOVE it. I LOVE the custard (pudding?) swirls...Definitely a favorite of the day.
Ciao Bella Gelato® Key Lime Graham Gelato 9.30%
Yum. Tina's recipe might be better though!
Discovered this in NYC a couple years back and its always been at the top of my list...super creamy, refreshing and full of flavor.
Häagen-Dazs® Caramel Cone 9.30%
I love anything with Caramel in it but this one is awesome..
Baskin-Robbins® Wild 'n Reckless Sherbet 7.00%
Wow. I don't know about this one. Purple, blue and green and super sweet. Certainly not refreshing as many sherbets are.
(pictured in top photo)
Ciao Bella Gelato® Mango Sorbet 7.00%
Baskin-Robbins® Superfudge Truffle 5.70%
Um, yum if you love chocolate and lots of it.
(pictured in top photo)
HP Hood® Fenway Fudge 5.70%
Ciao Bella Gelato® Blood Orange Sorbet 4.70%
LOVED this. SO refreshing and wonderful. And wonderful color!
Wasn't my favorite but tons of flavor and refreshing.
Breyer's® Cherry Vanilla 3.50%
Breyers is local and I feel badly saying this, but I have never been the biggest fan of Breyers. That being said, I might have to change my mind, I LOVED this.
Brigham's® Cookie Dough 3.50%
Pretty good. Nothing special.
Ben & Jerry's® Bonnaroo BuzzTM 2.30%
I tasted Tina's. Probably would have liked it more if I liked alcohol and coffee flavoring.
LOVED it! Probably my favorite new flavor I tried. I love coffee ice cream and malt flavor so that with the whiskey caramel swirl was awesome. B&J never disappoint.
Ben & Jerry's® Milk & Cookies 2.30%

Breyer's® M&M Vanilla 2.30%
Edy's® Birthday Cake 2.30%
Always a favorite. I am a birthday cake ice cream nut!
I love how Edy's swirls in frosting into their version. This is a fave of mine from Edy's.
Garelick Farms/Gifford's® Cherry Amaretto Chocolate 2.30%
Oh, yum!
It was just okay for me but I am not a huge cherry fan.
Garelick Farms/Gifford's® Chocolate Lover's Chocolate 2.30%
Very rich.
Now I know why this one got "the world's best chocolate ice cream" at the World Dairy Expo....rich and awesome.
Garelick Farms/Gifford's® Maine Lobster Tracks 2.30%
This was good, but I got no lobsters in my entire scoop!
Häagen-Dazs® Bailey's® Irish Cream 2.30%
Super smooth and flavorful. Could probably only eat a little due to the strong flavor but do like it.
Häagen-Dazs® Lemon Sorbet 2.30%
Baskin-Robbins® Premium Churned Light Mint Oreo® 1.20%
Not fair I missed this one and Mint is my favorite.
Ben & Jerry's® Hannah Teter's Maple Blondie 1.20%
So not a fan. This was either too maplely or too fake tasting. I am leaning towards the latter because I LOVE the maple ice cream I make that uses an entire cup of dark amber maple syrup per quart, tastes so yummy, and doesn't taste like this ice cream.
Ben & Jerry's® Phish Food® 1.20%
Probably my favorite B&J flavor...the light version is just as good too.
Breyer's® Chocolate 1.20%
Breyer's® Strawberry 1.20%
Brigham's® Mocha Chip 1.20%
Brigham's® Peppermint Stick 1.20%
(pictured in top photo)
Ciao Bella Gelato® Malted Milk Ball Gelato  1.20%
Good, but again, Tina's might be yummier. She'll need to share her recipes!
Good but I think I liked mine better with dark chocolate chunks in it and a little stronger malt flavor.

Edy's® Maxx Chocolate Cookies & Cream Collision 1.20%
Edy's® Maxx Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk 1.20%
HP Hood® Rainbow Sherbet 1.20%

Happy Ice Cream Soda Day!

One hundred thirty six years ago was the birth of the Ice Cream Soda, invented by Robert Green. According to Wikipedia, the story goes:
...On a particularly hot day, Mr. Green ran out of ice for the flavored sodas he was selling and used vanilla ice cream from a neighboring vendor to keep his sodas cold. His own account, published in Soda Fountain magazine in 1910, states that while operating a soda fountain at the Franklin Institute's sesquicentennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1874, he wanted to create a new treat to attract customers away from another vendor who had a fancier, bigger soda fountain. After some experimenting, he decided to combine ice cream and soda water. During the celebration, he sold vanilla ice cream with soda water and a choice of 16 different flavored syrups. The new treat was a sensation, and soon other soda fountains began selling ice cream sodas. Green's will instructed that "Originator of the Ice Cream Soda" was to be engraved on his tombstone...
We thank you, Mr. Green! Off for a root beer float myself!

This Father's Day, Dads Get a Free Cup or Cone From TCBY

Somehow, I always neglect TCBY when I am thinking about frozen treat shops (which I have to stop doing because we missed the TCBY Store Giveaway because of my neglect!), but we don't want to forget about them as they celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Month this month. Who knew June was National Frozen Yogurt Month!? We certainly didn't but we are glad TCBY knows because to celebrate, Dads can get a free cup or cone (at participating locations) on Father's Day, this Sunday, June 20th.

As TCBY CEO Timothy Casey says, "As the pioneer of the frozen yogurt industry, it only makes since that we celebrate National Frozen Yogurt month with a bang, and as a gesture of kindness for all that they do, we want to recognize dads on their special day too."

Thanks Dads, for all you do -- you are pretty "cool" in our book!

What Would You Do for a Klondike Bar Variety? Video Contest

Ok, so I have never been a fan of Adam Carolla but he got even lower on my list when he dissed Click and Clack of NPR's Car Talk by saying his new car show would be better than theirs...as if!

Anyway, but I do love Klondike bars and I would love to see our Scoopalicious readers make better videos than his in Klondike's summer video contests. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Click and Clack entered themselves?! Yay, East Cambridge neighbors!

Anyway, I digress...

There are three different contests to enter, staggered over the course of the summer.

  • Pack the Car (through June 23) -- win a new SUV
  • Grab the Remote (starts June 30) -- win a 3D home entertainment system
  • Ball Toss (starts July 31) -- win a "tricked out" game room

I have to say that because the announcer announces the contest as "a celebration of the average man doing average things in an above average way..." and actually, the contest is called the Everyman Challenge, the whole campaign seems a little "guy-centric" but we assure you any ice cream afficianado whether man or woman has what it takes to win! Especially our readers!


You can also head over to the site to view and vote on your favorite videos.

Not sure I should enter the contest since Adam Carolla is one of the judges and he now knows I am not a fan, but you can still should enter and win the cool prizes so we can brag for you!..

Either way, I need to go grocery shopping right about now, and I might just have to pick up a yummy Klondike Variety while I am out! I am already a huge fan of their sandwiches...
