Ice Cream

Recent images of Chile sent by one of our traveling companions - don't you feel cooler just looking at them?

I'm heading to Chile for some skiing, so my mind has turned to snow and other cold things, like ice cream. My favorite ice cream place here on the seacoast is Lagos on Route 1 in Rye. I like the apple pie flavor - the idea of dumping whole pies into a vat of vanilla ice cream just thrills me. The mocha chip is pretty tasty too. The problem that I have found, is that it's hard to try other flavors because the first one you try is so incredibly good that you are compelled to eat it again and again. It might take a lifetime to get through the long list of flavors. Don't get the large unless you are really hungry.

When Dad was in the hospital last year, I brought him a coffee frappe from Lagos and his whole outlook on life improved dramatically. For those of you unfamiliar with New England frappes, I pity you.

Back when I lived in Gilmanton, Jordans was my ultimate favorite home made ice cream haunt. It's right on Route 106 in Belmont. Family run, great flavors.
