Summer 2014 Ice Cream Tour #5- Briqs

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

I was excited for my trip back to Wisconsin to visit this ice cream place, BRIQS!   I was unaware how disappointed I would be when I walked up to the window to order the "Funky Monkey."   The sign read:


I may sound stupid saying this but I was about to have tears coming down my face.   I came 5 hours to get a funky monkey and now there is no Krunch coating for the tasty treat my tongue has been waiting for.   So the funky monkey is vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, banana, and last but not least krunch coat.  It was a very sad day! So I understand it was a manufactruing issue for the Krunch shortage so I actually went online and was looking to find my own Krunch to order and I to found it difficult.   I saw several items "currently out of stock!"   I did however find a recipe!   So keep checking back for my adventure in making my own crunch coating!  :)   

So I still ordered the Funky Monkey and did add sprinkles but it was not near as delicious with the original krunch! 


These two kids could care less about my disappointment.  When you are 6 and 3 you find the simple pleasure of mom taking you to get ice cream- so maybe I should focus on that!   My kids have been spoiled this summer with ice cream!  I am thankful I can afford to splurge treats on them and I have enjoyed all the different places we have been at.  

Overall, Briqs is a great outside ice cream shop.   When we lived in Wisconsin it would close after Christmas till February and opening day we would take  the youth kids on a walk to get ice cream.   Yes, it still was snowy and freezing outside and walking back in the freezing cold weather holding ice cream was not an easy task it was still fun and a thrill! 

Dear Briqs,
When you get the Krunch Coat in can you send me some?   I need to create my own Funky Monkey at home since there is no Briqs in Iowa!   I promise each summer when I visit Wisconsin to still pay you a visit!  :)

Another Krunch Kote lover here :) I once purchased a bunch from Briq's. You may want to ask them if they'll sell you some next time you are up!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
