Bring on the BLUE BELL

GO_0831By Georgia Osten
It’s actually been since April when they took Blue Bell off the shelves and Boy have we missed it! It was a national recall after the ice cream was linked to 10 listeria illnesses in four states. After a several-month shut down, tests came back negative for listeria contamination and production has resumed. About a week ago, people reported sighting Blue Bell 18-wheelers heading west from Beaumont – Bring it!

This morning, I just happened to be in Galveston and I just happened to stop by Kroger just to see if there might be some Blue Bell in their freezers yet. Lo and behold, Homemade Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate and a side-by-side blend of chocolate and vanilla – Bingo. I hear we should be getting cookies ‘n cream next.

I guess I was one of the first people there at Kroger – a photographer snapped my picture and said I would probably make it to the Galveston Daily News. Wow, kind of like that Thanksgiving when I made it to the Channel 11 news for being one of the first to go through the Get Clear Security Line without having to take my shoes off.

Get ready, Keith says The Big Store should be getting theirs by the end of September – looks like they’re preparing the freezer as we speak.

There’s just no comparison, and NO room for any other kind of ice cream. I was practically mobbed by the Knitting Club as I put my stash in the freezer at work this morning. I’d better not find any spoon marks in my Homemade Vanilla tonight when I have my dessert.
