I blame Erika from BioArtGal for her suggestion. 😉 She had mentioned that she gets together with some friends each Summer, and they have ice cream for lunch. So I mentioned an ice cream lunch to Himself, and he was in. So, we drove to our local ice cream stand the West End Creamery
I'm not a huge fan of ice cream, but I do like it especially on a hot Summer day or night. I don't as a rule have ice cream during the Winter. The day we went was nice and hot.
Here are the ice cream selections. So many choices.
And since we didn't have drinks, my drink reference is the selection of frozen and soft drinks on the menu.
Himself had a happy Banana Split. Just look at that big smile. Mint Chocolate Chip, Pistachio, and Cherry Vanilla ice cream. I had a taste, too, though I didn't grab the Reese's Pieces topping as I'm not a big fan of peanut butter. I think peanut butter just ruins perfectly good chocolate.
I had a Brownie Sundae with Coconut Almond Bar ice cream. Himself didn't have a taste because he hates coconut.
We sat outside on the deck and a had view of the former dairy now turned into a mini golf course and a corn maze. This year their corn maze salutes former New England Patriot's player, Rob Gronkowski affectionately called Gronk. The maze won't be ready until mid-September
We also had a view of Swans Pond. After we finished our lunch we stopped to feed
the Trash Cow.

That was a fun outing, and there was a good selection of nice ices there. Glad you fed the trash cow, too. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThere are so many ice cream flavors, it's almost too hard to choose just one. 😺
DeleteI might be to blame but isn't a sundae lunch the best? It looks delicious! Happy T day CJ. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt was a great suggestion. Thank you! 😊
DeleteOH I didn't know where this maze was, but I saw it on the game. It looks cool. I got so excited about the sundae lunch I hit post before I mentioned this. Hugs again! E
ReplyDeleteIt was cool The Creamery got some publicity for their maze.
DeleteThough not a fan of ice cream either your choices both look SOOO tempting!! My hubby will get an ice cream when he's out on a bike ride but that's about it. What a fun and special lunch treat you had. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteIt was a delicious treat and satisfied my ice cream craving for the year
DeleteHey there little princess, unlike you, I love ice cream. In fact, I bought a freezer full of it at the grocery store yesterday. However, I don't eat it in winter, either. I use it to cool my core body down in summer, but I love the taste, too. Your brownie looks OK, but your husband's banana split looks fabulous. And showing the drink menu is perfect for T, also. BTW, I can't believe people pay $2.00 (USD) for a bottle of water! Thanks for joining in today for T, dear friend and little princess.
ReplyDeleteTo cool down in the Summer, I drink unsweetened ice tea. The banana split was pretty good though too much for me to eat so I opted for the smaller brownie sundae. As to bottled water, if you really want it, you'll pay the price. 😉
DeleteI agree with you about ice cream: it's never my first choice and never in the winter, but sometimes it's the perfect thing. And what a perfect spot! A nice view :) and all this talk of corn mazes makes me wonder once again what the one near me is like. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThe Creamery is a pretty spot. They used to sell deli sandwiches, too, and it was the perfect lunch spot. They had to give up the deli over some town ordinance (politics) which was too bad.
DeleteLooks yummy! My fav is coffee Häagen-Dazs....we make our own 'nanner splits, that way we can control the portion size! (snort!) :D
ReplyDeleteControl the portion size 😄
DeleteNow that's a lunch I would enjoy ...lol 😉. Your ice-cream sundae looks delicious! What fun to visit corn mazes over Fall, we do have them here but they are few and far between. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream lunch was a perfect Summer treat. I’ll be skipping the corn maze as too many Stephen King stories 😺
DeleteThis post reminded me of fun times visiting the local ice cream shop when I was a kid. My father loveddddd ice cream and he always had a banana split too, Mom would have chocolate sundae and we kids got ice cream cones-so fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet memory to have 😊
DeleteThat looks like a fun place to go for an outing. I like the views, and the cow trash can. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a pretty spot
DeleteP.S. I forgot to say Wicker Man was the one with Nicholas Cage. I didn't see that ending coming either.
ReplyDeleteI like Nicolas Cage, and liked him in this movie
DeleteWhat a beautiful area! Your treats look so good! I would eat them both! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt was hard not to go back and order something else after I finished the brownie sundae 😺
DeleteLOL!
DeleteIt looks a lovely area you visited, super photos. The ice creams you chose looked delicious, I think I would have enjoyed the banana split but with no peanut butter bits, I am not a fan of the flavour.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Yvonne xx
Don’t blame you. Peanut Butter is not one of my favorite flavors 😝
DeleteWoowww I couldn ´t chosen just one ice-cream between so many delicatesse, wuaaaa love the so beautiful photographs you have shared, they are so beautiful, all is green there ! Happy belated T-dayt (sorry I´m late)
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very nice afternoon, and send big hugs,
Caty
Almost too many ice cream choices. And we had such a wet Spring and beginning of Summer everything stayed green
DeleteWow! That is a huge selection of ice cream, so many to choose from!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It takes a long time to pick just one ⏳
DeleteAn ice cream lunch! Mow that sounds exciting. I had heard of a 'liquid lunch', but never an ice cream lunch. Good on you! They look delicious.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late in commenting. We are having problems with the power lines in the strong winds. The power goes off every few minutes for a short while and then it takes my computer a few minutes to boot up again. Nightmare!
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
Hope the power is back on and has stayed on
DeleteYour ice cream looks delicious and has me drooling through the screen. We don't eat a lot of ice cream either but sometimes the occasion or weather just calls for it.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to read that article of the corn maze. I have heard my hubby refer to that player but that is all I know about him.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
It was a perfect weather day for ice cream.
DeleteI like ice cream but don't indulge very often. That banana split is very tempting. The banana almost makes it a healthy lunch 😉 So nice of you to feed the trash cow.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Eileen xx
Yup, a healthy lunch because a banana is good for you. The trash cow looked hungry.
