Ice Cream Fans!

If you know Jason really well then you know that one of his favorite foods is ice cream. He especially loves vanilla with strawberries. It is not difficult to talk him into going to get ice cream.


A long time ago on a girl's night, my friend Sheryl and I went to Des Moines. We went to hang out at Barnes and Noble. I remember buying my wedding planning book there with her. Afterwards she said we had to go to her favorite ice cream place. It sounded fishy that they put you ice cream on a marble slab and mix things in - how can this be better than DQ. Well it was! Maggie Moos has become my favorite ice cream shop. We found one by chance in STL in Ladue on our way to one of the few Barnes and Nobles one night. We also got lucky when driving around one night in WI. I don't think that Iowa City has one yet.

I didn't have a camera last night, but my phone works kind of. Like I said - Jason loves ice cream and is not a very good sharer. The kids had their own ice cream, but kept asking for a bite. I think that it is nearly impossible to say no to either one of their cute smiles and cunning "bite pease", but Jason had no problem. But they were persistent and continued to beg.

The crazy man bought them cotton candy ice cream - I blame this on him because he was the one who ordered it. Not only was it 8:00 almost and cotton candy - but BRIGHT BLUE! To say the least, they both needed baths by the end of the adventure.


So if you see a Maggie Moos - stop and enjoy a waffle cone. Jason's favorite is strawberry with oreos. I change it up but like batter with butterfingers or butter pecan with oreos. Personally it is better than Coldstone and in a close race with Fritz's!
