OK, we need a flavor of the month. But what should it be ? Think think think... . Now November is one of those months where there is a flavor that just kinda sticks out. One so tasty the smell of it alone can make your taste buds go crazy. Yeah, I'm talking about cinnamon! Sweet and spicy cinnamon. A flavor that truly takes a back seat to no other flavor. One of the greatest smells and tastes in the world (in my opinion) But, of course, having cinnamon alone be the flavor would be just too easy. And that is just not how we roll. We need to look outside the box (after we figure out why we are in a box to begin with because if you never put yourself in the box you can always think outside the box) Sooooooooooooooooooooooo... what's it gonna be? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!???!?! You know, there is a parfait day in november and everyone likes a parfait yet not enough places offer a parfait. I'm sure that if offered a parfait many would say yes please to the offer of a parfait. Or not. Sundae day is in November too but we just did toppings in october. Of course, November brings thanksgiving which means pie! And what's better on pie than a good old scoop of your favorite flavor of ice cream. Yeah, make mine ala mode please. Warm apple pie with a scoop of cinnamon OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BABY! Now that's the stuff. Of course, that takes us back to cinnamon again. Now, I know there are some who don't dig cinnamon so I'm gonna try to appease them too by saying you can mode in any flavor you like (or go unmoded if you so desire) It's your thing do what you wanna do. Which still leaves us at cinnamon or your favorite alternative flavor. And the holiday flavors bring many different tastes too the table. It offers us a chance to broaden our horizons. To try something new. To take our tongue on a new adventure down the flavor highway. To have me explain why this is getting so long and why I still have not gotten to the point (my bad) Never had chips before? Have some chips? Always been a vanilla kind of person? Let a little chocolate in your life! Try a waffle cone instead! Try some frozen yogurt instead of ice cream! Shake the shake habit for a malt or float! Be different! Be Unique! Take a chance, you just might like it! Yes folks, the flavor of the month is diversity! Try something new. Mix in something different. Top it a new way. Open a new flavor door for yourself. Be diverse! As always (and especially this month) all chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls, twirls.... (You know the rest) are in as well. Try something different this November and expand your flavor to savour horizons!Now , lots more stuff
