There was another brand in the freezer -just as expensive but in tiny containers - smaller then those 14 oz “pints” - they only had vanilla and some kind of chocolate - I didn’t catch the name, just the price 
but I want to get some the next time I’m in there just out of curiosity. For science, of course. Always for science.

No, it was a “put together” 
. I made a very small amount of pastry (50g flour) and then squeezed out enough pastry to make the bottom plus 5-6 strips for the top. I had a jar of homemade jam that was about 5-6 oz. and used it all, plus some fresh raspberries and Moondust. It’s a 6 “ tart.
I must have wanted a challenge this morning

A slice of honey cake from the East European market with my afternoon coffee.
They get it delivered from NYC. Nice, not too sweet.

Crostata di jour to make a Nonna proud
!Plum jam and a diced Bartlett pear were the combination of choice today. It made the kitchen very fragrant as it baked, a scoop of ice cream is a must.

Neon Ice cream.
They have several ice cream shops in Maryland. One recently opened near me; I haven’t been there. I saw the ice cream in a local grocery, and again, in the interest of science, I took a pint home.
Verdict: I need sunglasses! It’s strongly minty, and honestly I see the little chocolate flakes (just barely) but cannot taste them. It’s like eating frozen toothpaste. I like chocolate mint ice cream, so I’m duty-bound to finish the pint, but it’s a no-go in the future. Perhaps I should high myself to their ice cream parlor and sample other flavors. Or not. I never go to ice cream shops.

Ew. I love a good ice cream shop but this would very likely go in the trash
