It didn't win. Nor did I ever tell my mom about the submission (and let's hope she's not into reading local blogs!). It sounded good at the time, coming from the mind of a bratty, young kid.Kevin Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129181220658314036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457942.post-73992527145728626062007-08-25T06:10:00.000-05:002007-08-25T06:10:00.000-05:00We love the spotted cow.

You can get three gallons of spotted cow ice cream for about the price of Breyer's when it's not on sale in the store, and accomplish two things: support a local business (yay!) and get better ice cream.<BR/><BR/>And they'll sell the three gallons in 1/2 gallon increments, so you'll get six (as many different as you want) hand scooped half gallons of spotted cow. We don't do this often, but we've decided it's the only ice cream we're buying here in town now. The current price just went up, and it's $35 for the 3 gallons. Bryers is normally $6 for their 1.75 quart (a size change that still makes me mad, btw) not on sale, or $36 for something approaching 3 gallons.james3v1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07916272327406068707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457942.post-16467717660613173822007-08-24T14:39:00.000-05:002007-08-24T14:39:00.000-05:00MooMooStfRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491267515509573106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457942.post-63290523269025321102007-08-23T13:06:00.000-05:002007-08-23T13:06:00.000-05:00yum yum!
