so...yesterday nick and i went to richmond, virginia to ride super fast go karts with the bmw car club. since i was traveling this week and then again yesterday, i didn't really do a lot of cooking, hence no posts. when i'm on the road or not cooking at home, i will be sure to be posting about my favorite dishes and treats either here in the 'burg or out and about.
yesterday, my friends cindy and holcombe told nick and i about this fabulous ice cream joint on midlothian turnpike. i highly recommend a stop if you're ever in the area. be sure to come with an empty stomach, adventurous palate and cash.
link to the yelp page: la michoacana ice cream richmond
according to various reviews and postings i've seen on this place, the name is derived from michoacan, the state synonomus with ice cream in mexico. apparently in certain areas of the country, all ice cream shops are named la michoacana.
the owners here are extremely talented and creative in combining flavors. some favorites on the board were pineapple and coconut, strawberries in butter, and blueberries in cheese. they also have a wide variety of flavors not generally seen such as melon, cantaloupe, tamarind, and tequila. all the flavors enjoyed at our table were a huge success. in fact, the group that stopped in all wished we could have ordered containers to go that would make the 2 hour ride home!
in addition to the actual ice cream (cup or cone), there were cold drinks, popsicles, and hot food also available. next time i am headed this way, i will certainly stop in for some more delicious treats.
