Guess what I found!

16 years ago

At Publix Saturday, I found black walnut ice cream. It's been years since I've seen it anywhere other than ice cream shops, and then it's rare. It's sooo good and has lots of little walnut pieces in it. I also bought some of those little waffle cups (like waffle cones except like a bowl) to serve it in. I cannot tell you how GOOD it it!

When I was 12, I went to Alberta and met my dad for the first time. They had black licorice ice cream there, and I loved it!!

Brad, why not bring it in if you don't have any others? Otherwise, it will more than likely get eaten by a predator. I've also brought in 2 larger cats this year that had wasp larva inside of them! Never experienced that before. It has been a busy monarch year up here so whoever is in the return path of the Minnesota monarchs should get some eggs/cats soon.

Considering the hundreds of roadside fig trees up here in Northern California, with no name tags on any of them, I am convinced that there are at least as many crossbreed and / or new seedling varieties as there are bonafide varieties, with all the fig loving birds droping seeds over the place. FF

Yep, word is spreading. I contacted corporate headquaters after I got tired of getting the run around here in State College. Since they have got in nice 15 gallon trachys, 7 gallon Trachys, Needles and Silver Med fans. Waiting on a big butia now...LOL.

Congratulations. That's a wonderful start. Once you link up with other quilters, you will have all sorts of support and help to get started. It's good to reach out. I started with one class on how to make a table runner and went on from there. Good luck.

Mine's Blue Bell too, Sue. Isn't it good?

Jasdip, was the ice cream black, or did it just have pieces of licorice in it? My father would have LOVED that.

OJ, I'll get more if you'll come help us eat it. We're only about 2000 miles away give or take some.

Never had Black Walnut Ie Cream. I always thought black walnuts were rare in the US, and that they only grew in the Sherwood Forest of England or some such.

Speaking of ice cream, is maplenut still around? I remember that was my mother's favorite flavor. She died in 1944, so that's going back some. She always got a MN cone, my favorite back then was neopolitan---a perfect ice cream for people who cant make up their mind.

Prefer sorbets nowadays.

Patti, that is my favorite and I haven't seen it in years. If they still have it around in February maybe you can serve it for dessert. I can taste it now.

Black walnut was always one of my favorites, don't know why I quit buying it. Braum's carries it.

That was my MIL favorite flavor. We have a black walnut tree off our back deck. MESSY trees, don't recommend having one over a deck, that's for sure!

We don't harvest the nuts, though, we leave them for the squirrels. They are very labor intensive and very hard, too.

We have 2 black walnut trees in our yard and had the same in our old yard before we moved. I love, love, love black walnut ice cream, I wasn't planning a grocery store run before, now I just might have to do that.

I haven't thought of black walnut ice cream in ages. My childhood favorite was black cherry.

Whenever I think of ice cream with nuts in it reminds me of the day I let our Westie lick the last of my butter pecan. He licked and licked, and when he was done, all the nuts were left in a little pile in the middle of the cup -- no nuts for that dog! I don't know HOW he separated them from the ice cream part.
