As I kid I never really “got” Neapolitan. It certainly wasn’t anything I can ever remember being in our freezer (there was usually plain ice cream buried in the back somewhere and when my amazing Step Daddy came on the scene my Mom was treated with Haagen Daz) so Neapolitan was something in the Braum’s [...]

To make it even better, my awesome team took me out for lunch today at one of my all time favourite places, The Junction Hotel, where they always look [...]
