People around here celebrated ice cream yesterday with the return of Blue Bell to store shelves after several months' absence. The three flavors offered sold out in most if not all locations around Brenham, Houston, and Austin. We did not really need ice cream, as we are both trying to eat a bit healthier, but we joined others in supporting Brenham's largest employer. They have always been good to the community and their employees; local people are now trying to give back to them.
A fun sketch, Vicky. Blue Bell is one of our "must have" treats when my husband and I travel to South Carolina. I'm glad to know it's finding its way back into stores, although it looks like South Carolina is among the last states on the distribution list. But a big bowl of Pralines 'n Cream or Strawberries and Homemade Vanilla (our favorites) will be worth the wait, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteSusan, at least your state is _on_ the list! Kansas, where my mother lives, didn't even make the projected list.
ReplyDeleteSo many flavors to look forward to!
Fortunately, here in SW Ohio, where I live, we have Graeters ice cream. A bit different (French Pot Process) than Blue Bell but every bit as yummy!
