I have to say of the samples I received my favorite was by far the Baked Alaska (vanilla bean ice cream with meringue pieces, strawberries, cake pieces, and meringue swirl -- what's not to love?) In fact, I was a little bummed it was also my dad's favorite because we kind of had to fight over it!Some of the other flavors were a bit more intense for me and made me realize I wasn't probably the best tester because I don't like alcohol flavors or coffee flavors too much, but the good thing is that I have great friends and family who are much bigger fans of alcohol and coffee and they were more than willing to try these flavors for me.In fact, one couple we had over tried some of the ice cream and walked off with the Cajun Rum and Raisin, the Brandy Milk Punch, and the Mississippi Debris. (Although I have to say, I was hesitant to let that Mississippi Debris go -- it was a a close second, full of everything and anything chocolate...)My mom loved the Coffee and Chicory and the Chocolate City. I knew I wouldn't be a fan of the Coffee and Chicory, since I don't like coffee, but I was disappointed to taste coffee in the Chocolate City, which gave no indication in it's description that it too contained coffee and chicory. (For those of you wondering what chicory is, as I was, basically chicory has a similar flavor to coffee and is used as a coffee flavoring or as a coffee substitute.) Nonetheless, my mom was delighted in both flavors as she loves coffee and chocolate.
The Red Velvet Cake was one I really wanted to like, and while the description sounded so promising, there was something in the flavor that just wasn't working for me. The only thing I could think was the creole cream cheese ice cream.The Toasted Coconut was light and yummy, but nothing as unique and outstanding as some of the other flavors in their line up. (Though the Toasted Coconut did come in their unique limited edition packaging done by a local artist, I believe, which made it stand out...)
A freezer case full of New Orleans Ice Cream Co.Oh to be so lucky to have this near me...Would I buy from the again? Yes, in a heartbeat.* The ice cream is rich and creamy, not at all icy. And this company has got to have the most unique flavors of cartoned ice cream I am aware of. In fact, I have a list of flavors I want to try: Lemon Doberge Cake, Mardi Gras Pie, Peach Melba, and Satsuma Dreamsicle. As well as have a taste of my heavenly Baked Alaska again.*Why the asterisk? Because New Orleans Ice Cream Company products aren't even available within 1,000 miles of me! I love it but I don't know if I can afford the high price of shipping every time I want to eat it. But maybe for a treat or a birthday present? Husband? Yes? Thanks, New Orleans Ice Cream Company for the AWESOME samples, I just wish you hadn't turned me onto a product that's now so hard for me to get!

Hamlin should be strong enough Sunday to get third New Hampshire winWe're going to look for Denny Hamlin to win Sunday's Camping World RV Sales 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Hamlin has been reeling with some poor finishes of late, but this is the type of track that always does him well. He didn't have the greatest practices on Saturday after looking stellar in qualifying trim on Friday, but there wasn't a driver that stood out Saturday which gives Hamlin an edge.What we like most of all out of Hamlin this week is his swagger. He hasn't guaranteed a win like he did last fall when he won, but he knows he's better on these types of tracks than everyone else. The short flat tracks are Hamlin's main game, and with a good starting position, he should find himself in a similar situation as last year when he led the most laps between both events.Hamlin comes to the forefront even more considering no driver really stood out in Saturday's final practices. Brian Vickers had the best 10-consecutive lap average in the final practice session with two-time New Hampshire winner Clint Bowyer right behind him. Like Hamlin, Bowyer also excels on these types of tracks.We have to consider the winners from races at Phoenix and Richmond this season just because the set-up requirements are similar. If a driver did well on those tracks, they're likely to do well Sunday at New Hampshire. Carl Edwards won at Phoenix and Kevin Harvick won at Richmond. Harvick is using the same chassis this week he won with at Richmond. Because it looks to be a wide open race, we're going to ride with a driver starting up front like Hamlin (7th), who knows better than most how to get around the flat one-mile track.Read More Here.......Top-10 Final Driver Ratings
Two minor league righthanders, the Mets’ Estarlin Morel and the Giants’ Paul Davis, have been suspended for violating the minor league drug program. Both suspensions are effective immediately.In his fifth pro season after signing out of the Dominican Republic in 2009, Morel will sit out 25 games for a “violation of the program,” according to a Major League Baseball press release. The 23-year-old posted a 3.76 ERA and 2-to-1 strikeout-t0-walk ratio in 24 relief appearances this season, having spent 21 0f those games at high Class A St. Lucie prior to receiving a recent demotion to low Class A Savannah.
