We took our grandchildren to the creamery in Brenham, Texas, and they loved it. We had plenty of ice cream bars, ice cream sandwiches and just plain ice cream with the grandchildren at home. I can't keep it on hand or I will just keep on eating it, all by myself.
Regina, did you see they are making a chocolate chip mint ice cream bar now? Just for you, maybe. :) You said that Outback restaurants serve it. Yummmm. I thought back after your comment on the last post and decided that butter pecan is my real favorite flavor. Of course after I think a while, there will be more "favorite" flavors.
Blue Bell ice cream reminds me of a story. When we were in Bolivia we met Nan and Gibbs, native Texans. They had been in Sri Lanka also and were not with the Embassy there so did not have commissary privileges. Nan went to eat at a friend's home that was with the Embassy. The lady served lunch and said, "All I can offer you for dessert is some ice cream from the commissary. I have never heard of it, something called Blue Bell." Nan about fainted, of course. Who would have thought? Half way around the world! What a treat!
So if you folks out there get a chance to try Blue Bell, don't pass it up.

"did you see they are making a chocolate chip mint ice cream bar now?" - No, but what great news!! We're taking a break from our diet on Saturday, so maybe I will track down a bar and blow my entire week's work. Heck, it would be worth it. :-)
Ah, Regina, you made me laugh. I haven't had any ice cream in ages .. of any kind. I try to get a blizzard once in a while at Dairy Queen when we are on the road.
I have heard that the Blue Bell creamery was lots of fun. I will put that on my list of things to do in Texas. I think my ex-sister-in-law (Tish Hinojosa) sang the Blue Bell commercial back in the 80's.
Bag blog, it is an amazing tour. Didn't know you were "related to the rich and famous". She is a great singer.
