Local, local, local is the big buzz word in gastronomic circles nowadays.
In Delaware, you can't get any more local than the ice cream produced by Woodside Farms Creamery near Hockessin. Seriously, if you haven't headed out to the farm to get a scoop or two or three of this high butterfat, preminum and super tasty Delaware ice cream, you've been missing out. (The city gal in me also likes that you can see the cows that provide the milk for the ice cream.)
Check out my review today on Sweet Lucy's, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor on Concord Pike, which is now selling at least 30 different flavors of Woodside Farm ice cream. (That's owner Ted Brackin on the left.)
Or if you're in Sussex County, head to Chip Hearn's Ice Cream Store on Rehoboth Avenue and the Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach. Chip also sells Woodside Farm ice cream. Chip, in the photo on the right, is a crazy, mad scientist of ice cream and I mean that in the best possible way. He's always dreaming up some new wacky flavor. This summer, he's working on a pomegranate chip flavor, a flavor that will incorporate those little marshmallows found in Lucky Charms cereal and a butter pecan that he says will knock your socks off.
I don't doubt it.

I'm pretty sure Chip will incorporate one of his hot sauces into a flavor. Yum, Habanero and marshmallow ice cream.
I think old Chip needs to lay off that big ole cup of ice cream in front of him. I haven't seen that many chins since I opened a Chinese phone book. This blog entry is an endorsement for never eating ice cream ever again.

Easy there. Let's keep the comments about the food.
