Better Than Ice Cream

Today's SPF is Ice Cream.  But we're lucky here in St Louis because we have something that's better than ice cream.  We have Ted Drewes!

Ted Drewes frozen custard is an obligatory stop if you're ever in St Louis, and it's an end-of-school tradition for some of the kids who've been together since kindergarten. This picture is from the last day of school last year.   Both the teenager and the youngest child are in the picture with some friends who've been coming all along, and some friends who came for the first time this year.

Ted Drewes  is best known for their concretes, frozen custard mixed with almost any ingredient you can imagine to a consistency that's similar to a milkshake, but thicker.  It actually looks like concrete in a cup, and when it's served to you they briefly turn it upside down before they give it to you.

My favorites are:

• Blueberry
• Hot fudge & banana 
• The Big Apple -A piece of apple pie blended in, crust & all
• The Great Pumpkin (seaonal) - Like the Big Apple but with pumpkin pie

I know that some visitors live in St Louis so I'd like to hear what you get at Ted Drewes when you go.

That's my SPF.  Did you play?

PS - if you just HAVE to see an ice cream picture then scroll down (or go back 1 entry) and see the kid covered in ice cream at a Cubs game.
