So this is a little late, but over the July 4th weekend, I went with Eric, Laura, Tim, and Rachel to McKinney for the 14th Annual Killis Melton Ice Cream Crank-Off. It was... amazing.
3,000 people... 1,500 pounds of ice... 400 pounds of salt... 39 entries totaling 100 gallons of homemade ice cream... and unlimited tasting for $3!
Entries varied from Grasshopper Guts to Dutch Oven Cherry Blueberry (fondly referred to as Dirty Black & Blue). The winners included:
Best Gourmet: Grandma Beverly’s Milky Way
Best Fruit: Watermelon Breeze (by our friend DeLena)
Best ____& Nut: Turtle
Best Chocolate: Aztec Chocolate Finale
Best "You Made What???": Mango-Habenero
Best Vanilla: Angelica Frangelica
Best overall: Strawberry Marshmallow
A few shots...
I believe I am very jealous of this experience you had! It sounds like a dream come true... $3 for all that!!??
I know! We'll have to go again next year. You come too!
