Is there such a thing as a day too hot for ice cream? If there is, then Monday and Tuesday take the cake, so to speak. With the temps pushing the 100° mark, it was no time to get in the car for a drive to an ice cream stand. Tonight, though, was quite different – a perfect time for an early-evening jaunt to the nearest ice cream parlor.
Usually, from our home in Bridgewater, we head west on Route 22, to the very popular Polar Cub, a short drive from the Bridgewater Commons. That spot has as wide a selection of ice cream treats and flavors as you could want. The service is fast, and the product is good.
Tonight, though, we took advantage of one of those promotional coupons that appear in the free-standing inserts of the Sunday newspaper. (You know: all those multi-colored glossy advertising handouts that you have to sift through before you can do any serious reading). My wife clipped a coupon for the Cold Stone Creamery in Bedminster. It’s in the Hills Shopping Center, just off 202-206 north, in Pluckemin.
For seven bucks, we ordered two mouth-watering waffle bowls filled with plenty of ice cream and a blended add-in of your choice. You’ll have to be a little patient, because the service tends to take a little longer due to the hand-blending that the servers do to fill your individual order. It’s fun to watch them. Besides, why be in a hurry for something that’s supposed to be a delight to watch and to consume?
