Marianne's

We found ourselves in Santa Cruz on Saturday night for some dinner/dessert with friends. Dessert happened to be a Santa Cruz tradition - Marianne's ice cream. It's been around for 50 years and has a gazillion flavors... including lavender and root beer and oatmeal raisin cookie dough and Mexican chocolate... it's so great. I went for the holiday classic peppermint stick. I'm not gonna lie - McConnell's may have them beat in the peppermint department. Marianne's was neon pink and didn't seem as natural as it could be. Next time, I'm hopping on board the oatmeal raisin cookie dough train. Booya!
