Wow, was this yummy! I ate two of them. We'll see how this keeps as leftovers - I made the whole 4 serving recipe (actually made 5 little cakes). But of course even after two dinner servings and chips & salsa appetizers I still had room for dessert. I MADE room for dessert because while I was shopping for dinner stuff at Kings Red & White (this cute little family-owned grocery just a 10 min walk away from my house) I was THRILLED to see Jell-O Pudding Pops in the ice cream section!!!!!! Does anyone else remember these? These were my favorite summertime treat as a kid. It was hard to decide whether vanilla, chocolate, or swirl was my favorite. These Jell-O pudding pops I found today were in a bright yellow Popsicles box, and I did not recall them being manufactured by Popsicles. I decided to do some careful Google research, and this is what I found. Indeed, it's true - these are most definitely NOT the same treats as yesteryear. I had a swirl one and it wasn't even swirled at all! It was chocolate in the center, vanilla on the outside. There was no frozen outer shell, and they are shaped like fudgesicles, not the old-time Jell-O pudding pops. It was tasty, but not the same. Oh well.
Another find from Kings was ice cream from Maple View Farms. You know it's a local product when there's no nutrition info label on it (and when it comes to ice cream, ignorance is bliss)! This dairy farm is right next door in Orange County. They had a range of flavors available at Kings, and I decided to try Carolina Crunch (yes, I had two desserts. I'm glad I like running). It is delicious!
But what was the sweetest part of my meal this evening? Listening to 47-year-old Jamie Moyer pitch an absolutely amazing shutout for the Phillies against the Braves! Oldest pitcher in the MLB to pitch a shutout!!!!!!!!!!!
