For years my favorite ice cream flavor has always been mint chocolate chip. The mix of chocolatey goodness and minty sensations was always a spoonful of heaven. What was my favorite brand of mint chocolate chip? Definitely, Breyers. But I have a confession... I've been cheating and scooping my spoon into another flavor's bucket.
A few weeks ago, Jason brought home a couple pints of ice cream from Pumphouse Creamery which is a local ice cream shop in Minneapolis that only uses all-natural and local ingredients. Jason brought home mint chocolate chip for me and another unusual flavor called sea salt caramel with pralines. I was about to crack open the mint, but Jason had me try the sea salt caramel first. After that first taste I was hooked and my mint chocolate chip days were a distant memory.
If you are ever in the Minneapolis area a visit to Pumphouse Creamery for a scoop of sea salt caramel ice cream is a definite must.
If you're like me, you've probably always wondered what the world would have been like if Schwarzenegger had taken to extreme game reviewing as a teenager instead of wasting all that time on steroids, action movies and politics.

I started reading "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey a couple weeks ago because of all the glowing recommendations made by co-workers, friends and, I admit, Oprah.
It's a raw and honest book that speaks about Frey's recovery from years of drug and alcohol abuse. His writing style brings you to believe that you are the addict. But given the recent allegations made by The Smoking Gun, I'm not so sure "honest" is a word I should use when describing Frey's book.
I was checking out del.icio.us today and came across a link to Yelp. My only reason for checking out the link was the name "Yelp". Yelp is a site where you can review restaurants, nightlife, and anything else that tickles your fancy. I was just on the frontpage and you wouldn't believe what I saw... Pho-fest 2005: A review on the good to mediocre pho in San Francisco. Nice!
Okay, so I won't be going out to San Francisco just to check out the pho scene, but this review got me thinking--I'll do a review of my favorite pho restaurants here in the Twin Cities.
