Ok, I guess we need a flavor of the month. Something in the holiday (or who-ha day) way of thinking.
Could just do the peppermint stick stuff. Pretty tasty especially with chocolate sauce on it. You know, those candy canes make great stir sticks for hot chocolate or coffee drinks during the holidays. Kinda adds a lttle hint o mint to 'em. Pretty tasty stuff. You may find yourself wondering if you detect a hint of minty freshness. Kids will dig it. Cinnamon sticks work too. (yes, I know I just sounded like Martha Stewart and that's a good thing) I'd stay away from sticks you pick up off the ground outside though. May have been peed on or something. [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] Although survivorman might like that extra flavor [img]eek.gif[/img]
Ok, now where was I.
Oh yeah, a flavor of the month.
Egg nog could work. Although it does bring up the question of why there are no other nogs. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] and if there are other nogs, why are we unable to obtain said nogs? Could be dog nog for dogs. We've all heard of frog nog. What about hog nog!?!!??!
Better get back to the subject at hand.
Flavor of the month.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!??!?!
Think think think...
Crosstown shootout is this month, kinda adds a local flavor to the sporting landscape.
Wait a minute! THAT'S IT!
LOCAL FLAVOR!
This month is a hometown favorite being that it's all your hometown favorites!
Home churned, home spun, home sold, home on the range, click you heels together and say there's no place like home Dorothy because if it's made here, it's in. Whatever your favorite local ice cream is, go for it and enjoy. This month, we're staying at home!
Now, to be fair to the national chains we have in the area, we will, in fact carry on with the peppermint stick, and cinnamon and even that egg nog as well. (heck, if it's locally owned and operated it'll work)
And of course, all chips, chunks, dips, dunks and you know the rest are in as well.

Well, there's still more stuff to come.
Stay tuned.
