Taste Test – Mexican Candy Assortment Bag (Pawesome Things LLC)

We saw on Amazon a bag of assorted candies from Mexico. Unfortunately there wasn’t any descriptive information included so we were trying them blind. The candy seemed very low end and geared more to younger children.

This wafer candy was really the only one with an “adult” taste

Food Shop Review – Dolce Freddo Gelato (Newburyport, Massachusetts)

If you have never had gelato Dolce Freddo in Newburyport is a great place to start. Similar to ice cream, gelato is made from a custard base of milk, cream, and sugar. The difference lies in the proportions of each with gelato having more milk (and less cream) compared to ice cream.

Many flavors to choose from

Alex approves

Restaurant Review – The Chicken Connection (Plaistow, New Hampshire)

The Chicken Connection in Plaistow is one of several locations for this small chain. They are noted for their chicken fingers, fried chicken and side dishes but they also have ribs and BBQ. Their fried chicken is very good and Alex likes their fingers. The array of side dishes is also a highlight.
