am I obsessed or what?

Earlier last week, I had two pints in my freezer:
Haagen Dazs' pineapple & coconut and Toscanini's mix of lemon vanilla and CBC wort (the kecap manis flavored ice cream that claims itself as a beer-from-the-yeast flavored one).

Sorry to say, the Haagen Dazs was pale in comparison.

Then, I just finished my Toscanini's pint of Khulfi.

Last week, I met my friend to discuss about our thesis at... Toscanini, where else. We finished (on the spot) one pint, a mix of blueberry lemon and French Vanilla (a very nice blend).

The following day, I had a farewell lunch with a friend. After a hefty American burger in Miracle of Sciene Bar & Grill (see picture), we went to have dessert in... Toscanini, where else. A note about the Miracle of Science: apart from the menu that's displayed in a periodic table kind of way, I didn't find anything scientific about the place. May be the people, what with being sandwiched by MIT and Harvard. May be the drink list can explain more about the name.

In Toscanini, we had Kahlua and Mint Chocolate Chips (the latter was divine divine DIVINE -- the mint was so strong), not a pint this time. Hefty burger, remember?

Few days ago, when I've almost reached my breakdown limit, I went to... Toscanini, where else. Hoping to get the Mint Chocolate Chips again. But they did not have it, so I bought another pint of a mix of Grapefruit & Apricot and French Vanilla (the French vanilla really complements the fruity soury flavor of the former). At Toscanini, you have freedom to taste everything before making your important decision... I tried the Burnt Caramel Lemon, but it tasted like... plastic. The burnt caramel is OK though.

Today, since I went to that area (Pad Thai lunch, alone, only with my The Oprah Magazine, in Pepper Sky), groceries trip to Shaw's Star Market, I decided to drop by... Toscanini, where else, again. Still no Mint Chocolate Chips =(. So I got a pint of a mix of Grapefruit Raisin and Blueberry Lemon.

I believe Toscanini people wish everybody in Cambridge and surrounding is like me. I can see they start recognizing me already.
