Czech Stop. But the bakery downtown in West (now closed or under new management) was even better.
Both places have modified my travel routes and stops.
I haven’t been to Czech Stop enough to have a strong opinion about it, once or twice at most. I’ve been to Hruska’s a lot, and they are certainly the best Kolache within driving distance of Houston.
My kid said he wanted blueberry muffin ice cream last night, a flavor I’ve never seen or tried before. So I dragged the ice cream maker out of the dark recesses of the cabinet and got to work.
I steeped an HEB blueberry muffin in cream overnight to infuse it with that baked goods flavor, and after straining it with a cheesecloth, I used it in this Philly-style ice cream recipe. Layered in some swirls of homemade blueberry jam and chunks of streusel. Ended up tasting just like a blueberry muffin in ice cream form. Pretty proud of it.
Any of you mess around with weird ice cream flavors? What should I try next?
Damn, that sounds good.
You can never go wrong with bread pudding, brownies, peach/blackberry cobbler, and vanilla ice cream.
I’ve been known to bake a yellow cake with dark chocolate frosting, give half of it away, and eat the rest myself. I think that is the best cake.
Hell yeah.
And peach cobbler sounds pretty good too…

There are five legitimate flavors of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, and cookies n cream.
Believe it or not, I beg to differ.
There are flavors (you forgot coffee), and then there are flavors plus stuff (ie cookies and cream)

I’m not surprised that Hudson has these ridiculous notions with respect to ice cream, I’m just disappointed I didn’t see it coming.
I was in Santa Monica with my son a few weeks ago and he, a noted ice cream enthusiast, led me into an ice cream shop. This place:
They had all kinds of weird flavors. I ended up ordering blueberry glazed donut which was ok but had small pieces of glazed donut in the ice cream which I found mildly off-putting, and I ordered banana sea salt which was completely, totally ridiculous. I don’t like sweets, I don’t like desserts, I don’t like anything, but I would eat three gallons of this stuff. I have no idea how someone makes something so tremendous. It just makes no sense.

I don’t eat a lot of ice cream unless it’s on a dessert, but when I do…

I love a good chocolate covered strawberry. I am amazed some company has never done that as an ice cream flavor.
This is the best cake.

I love Chubby Hubby. Where to sign up? The Ben&Jerry’s is alive or dead or missing in action or I don’t know.
Am I wrong!?!
You’re giving too much away.
I have to stay trim and svelte, or something
When the 34" jeans don’t fit, I know I have a problem
So many sweets would are massively improved just by adding salt. I never thought about it with banana before, but I’ll definitely give it a shot.

chocolate chip cookies with a sprinkle of salt
Salt enhances the flavor of just about anything, particularly sweet things. That’s why things like prosciutto and melon are so fucking good. Salt and chocolate are a match made in heaven. But like real chocolate…at least 70% cacao.
The only problem with prosciutto e melon is the “melon” part. It’s a bit of a struggle to find good ones.
