I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream!

Bret loves ice cream, and it's hard to get an honest answer for "What do you want for dinner tonight?", that doesn't include it.  So we've been checking out the ice cream novelties at the grocery stores here.  In fact, in every corner dairy, one can find ice cream in NZ, and I recently read that they have one of the highest consumption rates in the world!

We've tried some fancy flavors at the mall, including:  Key Lime Vanilla Swirl, White Chocolate Raspberry, Forest Berry (blackberry, boysenberry, and passionfruit), Kiwi Meringue, and Cookies and Cream, and have picked up a few tubs on our grocery trips.  I'm sort of indifferent regarding ice cream, so lucky Bret usually picks out the interesting flavors.  We're working our way up to the more expensive brands, therefore, we are checking out the store brands to start.  We've tried Boysenberry Ripple, which was vanilla ice cream laced with chewy boysenberry.  And most recently we purchased a tub of 4 flavors:  chocolate, orange chocolate chip, lime chocolate chip, and vanilla chocolate chip!  Needless to say, Bret is quite content!
