When we lived there, I didn't know anyone who didn't love Blue Bell ice cream! It's like the official state ice cream or something!<br /><br />Happy Birthday to your family members, too!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-24636262846191256682015-07-06T12:08:07.659-04:002015-07-06T12:08:07.659-04:00Kav, you can leave the salt out.

(All the more for me!)<br /><br />Yes, when our daughter was little she thought everyone was celebrating her birthday. It's always been fun :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-53678393531531811172015-07-06T12:06:18.369-04:002015-07-06T12:06:18.369-04:00Oh, I forgot to mention this in the post! When you...Oh, I forgot to mention this in the post! When you freeze the sandwiches, the cookie softens. It absorbs the moisture from the ice cream, I guess. So if you can wait 20 minutes to eat them, you'll have a soft cookie :)<br /><br />And of course you love ice cream! It's like heaven in a cone...or on a cookie...or on your spoon. My philosophy is that a little bit of ice cream never hurt anyone. Now a LOT of ice cream, that can be dangerous.<br /><br />And holidays are made for forgetting the diet. They're celebrations, right? You can go back to your old lifestyle today and only your waistline will be the wiser.<br /><br />Fourteen grandchildren plus one! That is fantastic. And I think I told you last year that I plan to copy your cousin palooza when I have grandchildren. Someday.<br /><br />Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-74809756306901130712015-07-06T11:09:24.867-04:002015-07-06T11:09:24.867-04:00YUM!!!

Especially with the caramel.<br /><br />We're still in mourning down here in Texas, because our beloved Blue Bell Ice Cream has yet to go back into production. Makes it real difficult to buy ice cream, because the other brands just don't compare. Sigh.

I'm one of those annoying people who doesn't like the combination of salt and sweet. Dessert should be dessert, you know?<br /><br />And too funny because I was thinking "what a waste of sweetened condensed milk -- what can you do with the leftovers?" Magic Cookie Bars it is. <br /><br />Oh and happy birthday to your daughter -- how fun that it's July 4. I bet when she was little she really did think the fireworks were all for her.

Whaaa! Whaaa!!! Whaaaaa!!!!!!! <br /><br />And I ate like we were runnin' out o' food this weekend, shame on me!<br /><br />And I made a trip to Abbott's for my favorite ice creams and I brought some home and made a few chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches out of one of the pints because great minds think alike, Jan! <br /><br />But the salted caramel idea is brilliant! I hadn't thought of that, so I think I'll do this for the coming weekend, our annual Cousin Palooza is this weekend where we celebrate fourteen grandchildren... and no, I'm not old, darlings. I'm young at heart and that's what counts!<br /><br />I get to see all kinds of grandbabies!!!!! And one on the way!<br /><br />So I can intrigue and impress with a treat like this! Jan, my problem with the thin cookies is that they crumble when you bite into them. Was this a problem or not really?<br /><br />The commercial ones use a cake-style cookie, like a thin Whoopie-Pie, so I've done that by slightly undercooking cookies to use them.<br /><br />I wonder if the softer, thicker ginger or molasses cookies would work.... but then they'd be bigger.<br /><br />Well, bigger isn't exactly bad, is it??? :) Says Ruthy who needs an exercise regime! Why do I love ice cream? Why????????Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
