Ice cream-LICORICE

Howdy friends! Yesterday I tried the most interesting delicacy here in Oregon....black licorice ice cream.  Now. I know most of you do not enjoy the black licorice, but we all know that I love any and all candy and I LOVE black licorice. Fun fact, if you want everyone in your family to leave you alone, start eating some black licorice and then threaten to breathe on them. Works every time. (*i don’t think I have actually ever done that? Maybe? Idk*) 

Umpqua dairy is a local dairy in Oregon. The ice cream is v. creamy and rich. HOWEVER. I was only getting a teensy hit on anise at the end (which, actually Momma J told me because I could barely taste it). A little disappointed but only because I wanted it to smack me in the face with black licorice flavor. Fun fact #2 I like the licorice better than the black jelly beans but I do always separate the black jellies and eat them together. Mmmmm 



Ainslee’s was in Depoe Bay, Oregon. We went whale watching there and saw probably five or six whales....or the same whale five  or six times. Beautiful beach town. I’m not going to do a separate post about it, but we also had a caramel cheese mix of popcorn where the caramel was APPLIED TO THE CHEESE. V. Different but also tasty. Not as good as Chicago mix but still, sweet and savory together.  


In conclusion, if you just are a casual lover of anise, try the ice cream. If you love black twizzlers and jellies and those fisherman cough drops (remember those?) and Salerno Christmas cookies....just get another flavor. Mmmmmmmm but popcorn....
