OMGoshen Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates, Goshen March 16, 2014 Since our initial visit, we've sort of made Thorncrest our "special" chocolate place.

Mystic Shagbark Hickory Syrup
Shag(bark) Baby… Mystic Shagbark Hickory Syrup Purchased at BF Clyde's I know right? What is this page doing here? This isn't like anything else on this massive website. Heck if I know how to write about syrup. Or food of any sort. To me, it's just syrup. But I have this section about the "unique and … [Read more...]
Beer’d Brewing Company
I'd be Aaren's Beer'd, If That Made Any Sense The Beer'd Brewing Company, Stonington This was written in 2013 and now needs a serious update in 2023.

Mystic Sweets and Ice Cream Shoppe
Sweet Childs O'Mine Mystic Sweets and Ice Cream Shoppe, Groton As we continue our trek around the state eating and enjoying every home/housemade ice cream place, I think I have the experience to say that this place on Mystic's Main Street is the only one directly across the street from another one: Mystic … [Read more...]
Mystic Pizza
This Place Mystic-fies Me Mystic Pizza, Groton October 5, 2013 The things I do for you people. The sacrifices… the pain.

Gelatissimo

Yeah, I’m a ding-dong. Turns out, there are a million “homemade ice cream joints.” And when I … [Read more...]
Peaches ‘n Cream
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." No knock on Peaches 'n Cream, but that's where my head is at. Oh how I wished this place had a peaches and herb … [Read more...]

Meadow Stone Farm (Closed)
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...]
