Spontaneity struck last night around 9:15 when my fiancé and
I decided to venture out for ice cream. One of the fabulous things about not
having legitimate responsibilities beyond a job is the ability to get out of
bed, put on a mildly respectable pair of pants, and take a drive to procure a late
night snack.
For us, the closest Milwaukee Joes location is about 15
miles from the apartment. With the deadline of arriving before 10pm, we grabbed
the dog and hit the car, wheels screeching toward frozen dessert heaven. My fiancé recently introduced me to what he
claimed was the best ice cream in the world at Milwaukee Joes last week. It turns out, he may in fact be right. A new flavor is featured each week on top of
regular flavors like Dr. Pepper, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, Andes Mint Chocolate,
and 4Berry Truffle Sorbet, which are made in house each day. Obviously, Andes Mint Chocolate is my
preferred choice, we ate ice cream on the patio with the puppy in tow and
headed home with a pint of Cinnamon to go, because, why not?
As far as ice cream establishments go, this is quickly
rising to the top of list as far as freshness, quality and consistency. On top
of which, the employees are friendly, the prices are affordable and ice cream
is a gift from the dessert gods. The
next time you crave a late night dairy delight, think of Milwaukee Joes.. hopefully
there is one close to you.
