YumSugar Gift Guide: The Global Gourmand Grandpa

YumSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:00:12 -0800

Shopping for an epicurean grandpa who's more well-traveled than you? Fret not. If he's been tasting his way around the globe, chances are, he's open to eating anything.

If he's enjoyed traveling to Japan, present him with this matcha green tea set. Remind him of his trip to Scotland last year with Spey smoked salmon. Or send him an assortment of exotic imports: It's the closest you can get to giving him the world.

For The Love Of Ice Cream Roundup Part 2

YumSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 16:03:11 -0700

A few weeks ago, I shared 26 entries for our love of ice cream challenge. All 26 of these were wonderful, but apparently it wasn't the end. I was going through my junk mailbox and somehow not one, not two, not three or four, but FIVE entries had been marked as spam! I knew I wouldn't feel right until these five entries were shared with you guys, so I've decided to do a follow-up roundup. Here are the five missing entries, making it a total of 31 folks who love ice cream. Thanks again to everyone who participated! To check out the missing entries (you know the mint chocolate chunk is screaming your name!), read more

Entry #27
Hilda writes in from Paris to bring us a beautiful Mint Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream. She wants to remind us that mint ice cream doesn't have to be green to be amazing.

Entry #28
Brilynn of Jumbo Empanadas has decided to take an internet favorite and adapt it to her liking. Her result is a lovely Super Matcha Jumbo Raspberry White Chocolate Ice Cream.

Entry #29
Speaking of raspberries, Nic from the Uk sends us a recipe for a simply divine Raspberry Ice Cream. Served with slivered almonds and fresh berries, this sounds like a great summer treat!

Entry #30
Danille from Habeas Brulee sends us her new favorite ice cream: Hazelnut Cookie Sherry Vinegar Swirl. I love the creativity behind the sherry vinegar!

Entry #31
Finally we have an entry from TeamSugar member llendril. She provided a drool-worthy ice cream waffle sandwich. Unfortunately the post was deleted, so we'll all have to drool over this itty-bitty pic instead!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the challenge. If you loved these, be sure to check out the other 26 entries!
