Best thing I ate in Austin

Forgive me if I'm not diving into the "meat" of the conferences I've attended...truth be told, I'm still processing it all. And dwelling on the surface stuff is more fun, anyway.

So Freshbooks had these great parties (yes, plural) during SXSW. One of the key features of the party was an ice cream sandwich bar. You selected your cookie and your ice cream, and the staff immediately made you an ice cream sandwich with that combination.

These were not just any cookies and ice creams, though. The cookie flavors ranged from oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip to solid chocolate to ginger to snickerdoodle. The ice creams ranged from chocolate and vanilla to dirty mint chip (my fave), Mexican chocolate, and candied bacon (!).

I tried the chocolate cookie combined with the dirty mint chip ice cream (called "dirty" because there were shreds of fresh mint leaves in it) as well as a ginger cookie combined with Mexican chocolate. Though they were very messy to eat (the glorious 80-degree weather made them a bit of a mess in short order), they were amazing and delicious.

Kudos to Freshbooks for an amazing party with amazing food!
