One more week to win a “Love the House You’re In” collage — featuring you & your home

pam kueber - Updated: April 13, 2020

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

[Contest closed.] Be sure to enter to win this month’s Love The House You’re In collage… like Joe, Anthony & ruff ruff Bella, above.  Read on for instructions on how to enter. It’s pretty eeeezzzzeeee….

To enter, complete these two steps:

  1. Leave a comment on this post answering the question: What’s your favorite flavor for a summer ice cream? And: Cone? Cup? Shake?
  2. And, subscribe to my newsletter. Yes, this helps me build my newsletter list… I send ’em out just once a week, usually.

Please read all the rules here before entering, they all apply. I’ll pick a reader the last day of the month — so there’s a lot of time to do some crucial ice cream taste testing, as required, to make sure you leave an answer for the ages that’s just right.

Meanwhile — thanks again to Mel for a fabulous collage! You can find Mel’s collage works on flickr and her blog, Much Ado About Stuff.

    Love this site!! Love the new video!

    My all-time, forever favorite ice cream flavor is as simple as it gets: sweet cream. Just a creamy, rich, delicately sweet NOT-VANILLA flavor. Don’t get me wrong! I love vanilla too, but this is more about the flavor of cream with a hint of sweetness to it. As rich and fattening as can be, please.

    In a sugar cone.

    Oberweis Dairy chocolate-chip cookie dough in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone!

    Baskin Robbin’s Mint Chocolate Chip in a plain cone is classic Summer for me.

    I long for a dish of Howard Johnson’s Pistachio ice cream! Sooo mid mod.
    But, back in the future, I’ll settle for Key Lime Pie in a Fiestaware mug.

    To pick a favorite ice cream – that’s funny. So far this summer I’ll pick my favorite is Mallard’s Banana Chocolate. Mallards is a local and they make all their own ice creams. I’ll take it in a waffle cone.

    I usually go for a Peanut Buster Parfait at the DQ. If I ride my bike, the calories don’t count, right? But if I can get near a Chick-fil-a (not so thick on the ground here in Chi-town) I’m all for the Peach Milkshake. Oh man. As a transplant GA girl, there’s nothing better!

    Ice cream you say?! My favortie is Braums’ Maltball choclate Ice cream, and im pretty partial to a cone! However nothing beats a shake and a Drive-In movie!

    Mmm. Actually this summer, I have been digging the self serve soft serve yogurt shops that have popped up all over our area. My favorite is raspberry covered in different kinds of summer fruits. So wonderful and refreshing.

    My personal fave is the fresh-made organic Cocoanut-Vanilla-Chocolate Chunk from Mallard’s Ice Cream in downtown Bellingham, Wa. Waffle cone. Three scoops, please! (anybody wonder why I’m FAT!?!) Costs like 6 bucks and I’d probably pay ten if I had to!
