Ice Cream at Big Dipper Ice Cream Factory

May 3, 2010 by Steve 2 Comments

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...]

Made in the Shady Shady Glen, Manchester August 2009 Shady Glen makes a few appearances on CTMQ.

UConn Dairy Bar

July 24, 2009 by Steve 1 Comment

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...]

Ice Cream at Ridgefield IC Shop

July 6, 2009 by Steve 4 Comments

No Cookie Pusses Here Ridgefield Ice Cream Shop, Ridgefield July 2009 As has become my tactic, I made sure to figure out a route back from a week visiting my family in Delaware that would take in a few CTMQ sites. After hitting a museum on the way down, I figured we'd make it a little more fun - and delicious - on … [Read more...]

Keeping the Family Happy Ice Cream, Cheese, & Chocolate Trails How in the world do I continue to get Hoang, Damian, and Calvin to hop in the car with me for our Sunday adventures to who-knows-where?

Ice Cream at We-Li-Kit

May 19, 2009 by Steve 2 Comments

We-Lik-Everything-But-The-Name We-Li-Kit, Pomfret May 2009 2016 Update: This place still rules. It's still cheaper than other top-end Connecticut ice cream joints and it's still fresh, homemade, and delicious. They also sell beef and maple syrup, as this is a true farmstand. This page was written before I started … [Read more...]
