Eh. It is okay. There's a better, and less touristy, place in Slinger. You'll drive right past it on your way to Kelley's. Kelley also makes a killer pie. And cheese curds. And ice cream. Really everything. But if you need cheese and/or sausage. Helds in Slinger is the place to go.

I just made a strawberry ice cream to die for. Macerated the berries for nearly a day and used a custard base with almost all cream with only some milk...
Mmmm.. Now I can't wait to get fresh strawberries from a local farm and try it that way.

Just last week I noticed they had Haagen-Dazs peanut butter & chocolate ice cream at CVS. I don't know if it's a new flavor or if the store just started carrying it, but I had never seen it before.
I've bought three pints since then. That's my favorite ice cream flavor of all time.
I have to nip this problem in the bud.

Haagen Dazs (I give up trying to copy/paste the ä!) is manufactured by Nestle/Dreyers in the US and Canada. Outside these countries, it's manufactured by General Mills.
Nestle has a license until the year 2100 to produce it in the US and Canada. See this interesting (to me!) WSJ article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1009414941983387480. If you get a paywall, try googling the headline, "Nestle Acquires Half of Haagen-Dazs Unit That It Doesn't Own From General Mills"

My house was freezing last night so I didn't have any but will give it a go tonight. And it is YOUR fault.

On the rare occasion I want real ice cream, I'm lucky to have the Berkey Creamery a few hours away. It's a nice drive.


And I know the ingredients I put in it ^
