Ice Cream!

Creamy, decadent, and rich peanut butter chocolate ice cream. This describes the best tasting ice cream I have ever tried. But not just any brand can make it good. I used to eat it as a kid from a brand called Tillamook. They really knew what they were doing with this ice cream. I enjoy almost any flavor of ice cream. I am not a fan of hard as a rock frozen ice cream so I usually let it sit out for ten minutes until it reaches a softer consistency. I tend to think it tastes better when it isn't so frozen. You really cant go wrong whether it is Gelato, frozen yogurt, soft serve, or even low fat. Ice cream to me, is ice cream!
