We All Scream for Ice Cream

We went to Bluebird Ice Cream this weekend - had yummy peanut butter and strawberry flavors. They were all out of chocolate pudding flavor which also sounded great. There seem to be all kinds of ice cream shops cropping up around Seattle, must be the new cupcake.

New easy cookies to try

Some new cookie dough I'd like to try soon. Like the new Five ice cream from Haagen Dazs. All natural all the time these days. Like the direction we're heading...
