The Perfect Flavor

Anyone who knows me knows that I have an incurable sweet tooth, and LOVE ice cream. I heard they were giving away ice cream at the finish of the MS ride this weekend in Charlottesville and shortly after getting off my bike I went in search of it. I mean, I had almost stopped at the Dairy Queen we biked past about 30 miles into the ride! This was my dream come true! Sure enough, fantastic homemade ice cream. Nothing could be better on a 100 degree day! After talking to the vendor for a few minutes, I realized from her brochure that she graduated from SBC. Even cooler!

This girl owns her own ice cream company, The Perfect Flavor, which makes custom ice cream. She uses all organic, local, seasonal ingredients, will create any concoction you dream up, and will ship it on dry ice anywhere. This is really cool I thought! And the ice cream was so yummy!

When I got back to the hotel room, I decided to look up her website, curious about how much this might cost. Clearly, it was going to cost more than the ice cream from the grocery store. I knew that, but when I clicked on the website and saw the price, I thought I was seeing things - surely those weren't the actual prices! For ice cream? This couldn't possibly be right! How much do you think a pint of ice cream such as this would cost? Take a wild guess, and then check out the website: http://www.perfectflavor.com/

I'm still stunned. So much for my plan to invent my own flavor and ship it to all my friends! Maybe someday I'll win the lottery...it was really good.

I'm sure this girl would be horrified to know that on the drive home, we stopped at Dairy Queen. My favorite!! I mean not only is it not organic, local, seasonal, etc. ice cream, but then I go and put non-organic candy bars in it!! The horror! But it was oh so good...
