Twisted Sisters Sugar Shack Ice Cream Sandwich

June 12, 2017

Every week I check one of our local cupcake shops for their Monday $1 special. Basically everything in the shop is a buck! It doesn't happen every week, only if they have leftover inventory before they start the fresh baking cycle.

Luckily I saw on Instagram that they were open today, when lunch time came around I decided to swing by on the way to picking up Shelby. At the shop I picked out way too many cupcakes and cookies to take home. I was about to check out when I saw Tracy, one of the owners of the sugar shack, who offered me a little treat.

The shop was starting to offer ice cream sandwiches and she asked if I wouldn't mind trying one. I don't eat a lot of sweets but ice cream sandwiches are high on the list. Of course I would eat one, twist my arm already. There were a few varieties: chocolate chip, brownie, sugar cookie, and the one I got, a brownie/cookie mix! I rushed out of the store will my loot to pick up Shelby, I didn't the sandwich to melt.

When we got home the first I had to do was photograph my food (you all know this, I've been doing this 6 1/2 years now!) Fortunately, Shelby is a great sport when it comes to this stuff and even has great suggestions on how to shoot stuff. We did a quick round in the backyard shade then started in on the sandwich.

It was really good! I like the cookie and brownie mix, getting a bite of both with the ice cream was great. Mr. Man, aka Jasper, gets his favorite dog treats from Twisted Sisters too. They bake dog cookies he absolutely loves. Shelby was nice and gave him some of our ice cream sandwich. We kinda had to, he was staring us down big time.

Taste of the Region - Part 8

October 17, 2013

Taste of the Region - Part 8

Well known regional chef Patrick Evans-Hylton asked me to be one of the judges in Taste of the Region at the Parade of Homes in Cypress Creek, Smithfield, VA. We got to check out several beautiful homes and try delicious food from the Smithfield area easily accessible to those moving into the area.

Last stop was at Just Cupcakes gave us dessert with a chocolate cupcake. Afterwards we made our way back to our starting point to hand out awards. We met Blanche there, her son was the builder for that particular house, and she had this amazing Chewy Bread. I need to tell more people about that stuff—caramel with nuts, melts in your mouth. She sells the bread and other sweeties from her business Blanche’s “Legendary” Chewy Bread & Sweet Treats.

After it was all said and done we made our way back to our cars and drove home. Shelby and I saw a green shooting star and a couple of young deer on the way out. Fun night.
