Peaches ‘n Cream

July 10, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Shake Your Smoove Cream Ice Cream at Peaches 'n Cream, Litchfield July 7, 2013 All I can think about is Peaches and Herb. (Read: I'm old.) They of "Shake Your Groove Thing" and "Reunited."

Meadow Stone Farm (Closed)

May 30, 2013 by Steve 11 Comments

MMmmm, Cat Cheese Meadow Stone Farm, Brooklyn June 9, 2012 2014 Update: This innocuous little page, which has very little useful information on it, has become one of the stranger places on CTMQ. Much of it is hidden to you readers, but if you look at the comments, they provide some clues. I have deleted many of … [Read more...]

May 28, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

How Sweet It Is Deborah Ann’s Sweet Shoppe, Ridgefield August 27, 2012 You know how when you look at pictures of your kids when they were young and you get all wistful and misty eyed because they were just so cute and perfect and fun? But that if your spouse happens by and reminds you of the true situation … [Read more...]

The Chocolate Lab (Closed)

May 27, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Good Job, Dawg The Chocolate Lab, Greenwich May 25, 2013 2014 Update: I have received word that this place is closed. Re-reading this page is annoying, because I seem to have mixed up the names of the restaurant chef, the chocolate chef, and the real chocolate chef guy whom I never named. But if they are indeed … [Read more...]

Arethusa Farm Dairy

January 10, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Haute Culture Arethusa Farm Dairy, Litchfield July 21, 2012 Stop. Read that title again. I have a ton of clever title puns on this site and every once in a while I like to give myself a little pat on the back. This is one of those times. I have three separate Arethusa pages - one for the farm itself, one … [Read more...]

Arethusa Dairy Store

January 9, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Are Thu Seriousa? Ice Cream and Milk at Arethusa Farm Dairy, Bantam July 21, 2012 Since we are we, and we are CTMQ, and by we I mean me with my compliant family, we visited the almost eerily clean Arethusa Farm about 5 miles away before coming here, to the retail store, to enjoy the end products. If you … [Read more...]

Il Bacio

July 19, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Licensed to Il Ice Cream at Il Bacio, Danbury My first thought upon entering Il Bacio was, “since I can’t get the phrase ‘Licensed to Il’ out of my head, wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a Brass Monkey ice cream or gelato flavor?” Sadly (and expectedly), they did not. Because really, that would be kind of … [Read more...]

Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream

July 17, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Mystical Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream, Mystic July 14, 2012 It’s not often I can knock out three CTMQ-worthy food/restaurant pages in one fell swoop. (After writing that phrase, I looked at it and wondered where it came from. And it’s stuff like that that makes the Internet so great.) After dining a few … [Read more...]
