RATE IT!/HATE IT! A Bit Nutty

It doesn't matter that the calendar boasts at least three more weeks of summer - when the kiddies trudge back to school, summer is officially kaput. 


Now before you throw in the towel, there is one sparkling refreshing treat at the end of this hot, steamy summer. Yes, the latest Dairy Queen Blizzard is here for your ogling pleasure... and you're right on the money if you think we've got a repeat offender on our hands - sorta.


Think back to early January when we *really* had something to complain about where the weather was concerned. Well, back in the first month of 2010, DQ unleashed their Turtle Pecan Cluster Blizzard on the starving masses. It seems the nutty symphony of tastes was a crowd pleaser because the pecan gang is back for more, but this time, they're cleverly disguised as the Pecan Pie Blizzard. Crafty!


Now, my loyalties to all things Blizz does not embrace their treats of the nutty variety so I'll just sit this round out and let all of you passionate pecan lovers line up in the queue first and enjoy your month to celebrate. I'll be waiting for another chocolate-based Blizzard to take its place come early October.


Don't mind me... I'll be quite happy spending the last few days of summer sunshine this September enjoying my lifeline, the Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard. Enjoy, everyone!
