Vegan MoFo Day#15-Peanut Butter Ice Cream Wars at Lula's and In My Heart...

vs.

so about exactly 11 months ago i made my first trip to lula's sweet apothecary and had,what i claimed to be,the best ice cream i've ever had in my life-yes,better than foster freeze's french vanilla softserve,better than ben and jerry's cookie dough or the banana one,or the one with the brownies and almonds,yes,just the best ice cream ever-lula's peanut butter fudge.

perfectly salty and sweet,incredibly peanut butter-y,with like hot fudge swirls in it,but it was frozen hot fudge,and zedohmygawd,it's what made me keep going back to this place so freakin' much.and of course,coming back to nyc,i get to have it all the time,and it's only improved.

though of course,not there's an issue...it may have met it's match...

pb&j ice cream.

seriously.the same crazy good peanut butter ice cream,but with strawberry jam.and if yr kittee,jess,or really any vegan i knew in 2007,you know how i FEEL about strawberry jam...

so,basically,i'm still undecided.fun.

i'll make up my mind soon enough,when i can try them together in a bowl sometime.

temporary solution?

eat ice cream and pray that you get there on a day when they're both in stock.sometimes life is just SO hard...

i mean,it DID happen ONCE...

but i was overwhelmed and can't remember.sigh.

of ice cream and coffee.

first ice cream back in new york:
vanilla malt ice cream
peanut butter fudge ice cream
cake batter softserve
sprinkles.
thanks,blythe.
best first thing to eat(besides the coffee)when getting to new york.



from lula's sweet apothecary,of course.

hi.i moved to nyc for school a few weeks ago,and have been really busy and still will be,but i thought i'd share some sweet stuff that's been going on.yay!


pb&j ice cream
banana walnut ice cream

2nd time at lula's-in a big cup.probably my new all time favourite-the pb&j that is.
sweet n salty with just enough jam,zedohmygawd.


and third time's a charm;
banana split,pb&j ice cream,ginger molases ice cream,peanut butter fudge ice cream,cookies n cream ice cream
whizzers(vegan m&ms),1 crushed ginger newman o,whipped cream,maraschino cherry,banana


brad.




cherry.

i also went to stogo


i had peanut butter fudge and salted caramel pecan.
i was really excited b/c they had soem pretty excitied flavours,but the peanut butter fudge was really watery and icy and i didn't want to finish it-shoulda sampled it first,that's what happened with the oatmeal raisin cookie flavour,which i really wanted.don't see how you could eff up a peanut butter ice cream,but whatever,at least the salted caramel one was good.
