I "Heart" Flavor - Thursday February 2

 

What flavor would you like?

When I was a little girl I remember on a special occasion going to get ice cream at the 31 Flavors Ice Cream shop (AKA Baskin Robbins). When I was asked which flavor I wanted the adults gasped when I said, "Vanilla." They tried to talk me into something "more exotic" but, I was very insistent, so vanilla it was.

Our tastes change as we get older - over the years I have broadened my flavor pallet. Today, some of my favorite flavors are:

1. Coconut - I've been known to say that ANYTHING with Coconut has to be good.

2. Lemon - sweetened or not. When we were little my sister and I would sneak into the lemons my mom bought to season fish. I drank the juice straight (no sugar added) without making a sour face.

3. Chocolate - The darker the better!

4. Key Lime - wonderful in pies, cookies, ice cream, tortilla chips, etc.

5. Imitation Banana - I know a lot of people who like bananas but not banana flavored things. I like both.

6. Pear - real pears are yummy; but, I also love pear soda and juicy pear flavored jelly belly jelly beans.

7. Mango - My very favorite shaved Ice flavor.

As a child we would walk to Velvet Freeze an ice cream parlor w/a huge replica of an ice cream cone outside. I would order bubble gum, chocolate chip, heavenly hash or sherbet. Never liked cherry or grape anything as a child - would only eat green or lemon lime flavored stuff. Today some of my favorites:
1. Chocolate says it all!
2. Cinnamon
3. Tiger's Blood flavor snow cone - don't know what's in it?
4. Cherry flavoring in fountain sodas.
5. Coconut
6. Still like green koolaid and lemon lime flavorings
7. Almond milk no flavor or chocolate
8. Peaches, and peach flavored vodka mixed w/blood orange italian soda :)

My favorite flavors:

1. Daquari Ice from Baskin Robbins!!
2. Vanilla. The vanilla-er the better!
3. Mango slushies from QT. Mmmmmm!

1. Anything with nuts
2. Anything with caramel
3. Anything with maple
4. Mackinac Island Fudge
5. Mint Chocolate Chip
