I'm not kidding when I say this.

I don't know how my wife doesn't have diabetes, because she likes to have a scoop of ice cream whenever she can.

That might be because her grandpa Gelder used to have ice cream every single day of his life.

I remember hearing a story about how he went to visit family and the flight got delayed and they didn't get picked up at the airport until a little after midnight.

Can you guess what grandpa Gelder wanted as soon as he got off the airplane?

If you said a scoop of ice cream give yourself a big pat on the back.

As the story goes they ended up finding a gas station or grocery store that was still open and secured the precious pint of ice cream.

I tell you this because sadly my wife's grandpa Gelder passed away a few years ago but I guarantee you if he was still here with us he would have someone take the drive from Grand Rapids to check out what one Ann Arbor ice cream shop is serving up.

Blank Slate Creamery Scoopski

If you've been to a bar before you've probably seen a group of people do something called a Shotski.

That's where four shots are spread out across a board and everyone in unison tips it back and drinks the shot.

Well this that on steroids and instead of shots of liquor, it's scoops of delicious ice cream.

Blank Slate Creamery in Ann Arbor describes it like this.

"The Scoopski is what happens when an ice cream flight goes completely off the rails. Pick any 10 half scoops of your favorite flavors, grab 5–10 friends or family, and pass it down the line shotski-style. It’s the ultimate way to try more flavors, share more bites, and make dessert way more fun."
