Sweet Jesus, That’s Good Timothy's, Bridgeport July 2010 Fact: Hoang never complains or rolls her eyes when I tack on an ice cream visit after another day of museum-going or other such Saturday activity a CTMQ wife must sometimes endure.

Beltane Farm (Closed)
I Got the Vapors From the Vespers Beltane Farm, Lebanon May 16, 2010 Beltane ceased commercial cheese-making in September 2018. They still exist and offer goat care classes and other farm-related stuff, just no more cheese... which is a bummer. I’ll do the world a favor and start off with a PSA: If you plan on … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Big Dipper Ice Cream Factory
Prospecting For Deliciousness Big Dipper Ice Cream Factory, Prospect May 2010 This is getting tricky. Hitting places “on a list,” which has become sort of a CTMQ household joke, to spice up the drives back up from visiting my family in Delaware is starting to become more difficult. For obvious reasons, each time … [Read more...]
Beaver Brook Farms
Beaver Cheese Beaver Brook Farms, Lyme 8/24/2009 It took some doing, but Hoang has finally convinced me that a warm and sunny lazy summer day at the beach is a worthwhile and wonderful pursuit. And I, on the flipside, have convinced her that stops along the way to sample some of Connecticut’s cheese is equally … [Read more...]
Cato Corner Farm
The Cato Institute of Cheese Cato Corner Farm, Colchester August 2009 I should tell you all that I stop in at Cato pretty much every single time I travel down Route 2. This page is now ancient, and Cato Corner deserves better, but... such is the nature of CTMQ. As this page is so old, I can't pretend that … [Read more...]
Fish Family Farm
Milk and Ice Cream and Cheese From a Fish Fish Family Farm, Bolton August 2009 No, the Fish Family does not raise or sell fish. They raise cows and chickens and sell milk and ice cream and cheese eggs and other related items. The Fish Family Farm Creamery and Dairy really is a great little reminder of days gone … [Read more...]
Rustling Wind Creamery
Not Exactly Bustling at Rustling Rustling Wind Creamery, Canaan November 29, 2009 The next time someone whines about how there’s nothing to do in Connecticut, send them our itinerary for this sunny November Saturday. I thrive on these random road trips and, I really do believe, Hoang appreciates them. And … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Shady Glen
Made in the Shady Shady Glen, Manchester August 2009 Shady Glen makes a few appearances on CTMQ. One for their Unique and delicious fried cheese plate, one for their burgers being one of Roadfood's best burgers, and this one - for its ice cream being on that same Roadfood list. I'm sure I'll … [Read more...]
Knipschildt Chocolatier/Chocopologie Cafe
No Chocopologies Here House of Knipschildt/Knipschildt Chocolatier/Chocopologie Cafe, Norwalk June 13, 2009 Fritz Knipchildt's chocolate ventures have gone through a myriad of changes over the years and now, in 2020, the business is called The House of Knipschildt. An outpost in New Haven wasn't open long and the … [Read more...]
UConn Dairy Bar
I Dream of Jonathan. There. I Said It. UConn Dairy Bar, Mansfield May 24, 2009 & Other Visits CTMQ is far too big and often unwieldy. It has sprawled from being just about museums into all sorts of directions and sections. I recently began eating Jane and Michael Stern's "Eat Before You Die" Roadfood items across … [Read more...]
