Soggy nuts

Okay, now get your minds out of the gutter, we’re talking ice cream here. There’s a new and expensive ice cream place in town. The Marble Slab Creamery claims to make all the ice cream on site, plus it makes the waffle cones fresh at the store as well. So if you’re someone who can taste fresh ice cream this is the place for you. I checked it out over the weekend with my hubby and a friend, The Nimble Assistant. The first real advantage here is the customization of your ice cream. You pick your base flavour (double dark chocolate if you’re me, maple if you’re my hubby) and the kind folks serving you will then mix in your fixin’ on an icy cold slab of marble (Skor bits and walnuts, respectively). The portions are far too large, but the second advantage is the freshness of the ingredient you choose to mix in, nuts especially, which can lose their crunch sitting in milky ice cream. But when they’re mixed in just before eating them, which was confirmed by both my ice cream companions, they seem to be far fresher and crunchier than in pre-mixed ice cream.
