Scoopsies Ice Cream: a giveaway!

Giveaway for TWO pints of ice cream at the bottom of this post!

Boston just had its first snow this past Sunday. It was cold – so cold that I had to bring my beanie out and zip up my rain jacket all the way. Rain was falling – pouring, actually. I was driving in downtown Boston, and the weather just soured my mood. I lashed out verbally at other drivers, angrily waited to merge, and swore at double parked cars that forced me to move to the other lane (Guys, I’m not that scary. I’m exaggerating :)). Suddenly, I noticed that the rain drops were falling more slowly, that they were larger and pale in color. Were these the first flurries of the year?? Yes!!! A part of me, that part that grew up in California, never knowing a white Christmas, was enchanted. Eventhough I spent four years in St Louis, where it does snow, I still love the feel of snow floating down. When it collects and becomes slush, that’s a different story. But I can still be enamored by the initial flurry.

The thing about ice cream is that it’s a universal food. By universal I mean that it can be consumed year round. When it’s gray and gloomy outside, curling up with a fresh cup of coffee and a bowl of homemade ice cream is the perfect past time. Add in a good book or movie (or blogging?), and that is a solid weekend afternoon. When I first heard of Scoopsies, I thought, Why hasn’t anyone else thought of this? It’s a genius idea! Homemade ice cream delivered to your doorstep. These days, CSA’s, meat shares, plated meals delivered to your door are all the rage, because they’re great! Supporting local businesses and eating locally is something I firmly believe in and try to do as much as possible. I promised myself that if I did a giveaway on this blog, it’d be 1) something I would personally recommend, and 2) that I’d try to keep it local to Boston.

First of all, can we just pause and think about the fact that Chloe offers flavors such as Salted Sage Oreo, taza sea salt + Almond Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Ricotta? I’ve never seen such combinations! I wanted to try each and every one. The ones I have here look similar, but if you look closely, the textures are slightly different. The one on top left is Smoked Sea Salt Caramel, which is self explanatory, and the bottom one is Anise & Orange Zest, made with Jersey Cow milk! The texture! The taste!!

Scoopsies is kind enough to offer TWO pints of ice cream to one lucky person in the Boston area! You heard me – TWO!!! Now you can choose both smoked sea salt caramel and anise and orange zest!!
