Blizzard Quote of the Week

“The day, a compunctious Sunday after a week of blizzards, had been part jewel, part mud. In the midst of my usual afternoon stroll through the small hilly town attached to the girls' college where I taught French literature, I had stopped to watch a family of brilliant icicles drip-dripping from the eaves of a frame house. So clear-cut were their pointed shadows on the white boards behind them that I was sure the shadows of the falling drops should be visible too. But they were not.”

Hello Blizzard fans.  I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but hopefully we'll be able to get our priorities straight and focus on consuming and reviewing ABCs for you.
I was lucky enough to have an Astounding Blizzard Combination delivered to me a couple days ago: chocolate ice cream, bananas, and Reese's cups.  Bananas have become a staple ingredient in my Blizzards these days, so much so that I almost can't imagine ordering one without.  The chocolate base brought the richness and made this a truly decadent experience.  With the Reese's I got a hint of salt, which is something I enjoy in a dessert and had heretofore been absent from my Blizzards

The only reason I'm stopping at a 9.5 on this one is my desire to leave a bit of room for improvement, although I'm not sure that's even possible.  For now, this is my hands down favorite, but of course the ABC team and I won't stop experimenting until all of the possibilities have been exhausted.
