The Baskin Robbins Mud Pie Recipe P-2 - The Best Ice Cream Pie in the World

Since I was a child, my family use to buy the Baskin Robbins Mud Pie P-2 with Jamoca Almond Fudge Ice Cream, a graham cracker crust and a bottom and top layer of thick fudge for our birthdays. I still believe that with all the different types of ice cream pies I've sampled, the Baskin Robbins Mud Pie is the best Ice Cream Pie in the World. These pies use to be pre-made and you could usually drop by and pick one up without ordering it. In the last several years, I noticed that Baskin Robbins has taken this item off their website and official ordering form although the picture still exists. On my most recent trip, I told the clerk that I wanted their Classic Mud Pie. Her reply, "What type of crust, ice cream and topping?" My reply, the pie exactly like the one in their picture menu. Her reply, "I have no idea what's in that Mud Pie in the picture." So as I was becoming increasing annoyed, I whipped out my iPhone and navigated to the Baskin Robbins site became even more annoyed when I couldn't find it. I finally googled around and found this picture below on one of their franchise websites.



So the next time I order this cake I'll bring a photocopy of the above picture with the following other information for the Baskin Robbins Mud Pie.

Ice Cream: Jamoca Amond Fudge
Cake Design: P-2
Crust: Gramham Cracker
Topping: Fudge (top and bottom)

I'd like to see Baskin Robbins bring back the Classic Mud Pie on their Menu. The Fudge topping is incredible and in my opinion beats any Snickers, Oreo Cookie or Heath Bar pie..besides if I want candy with my ice cream I'd go to DQ. BTW, the last time we ordered it for a family birthday, I noticed that there were not any leftovers...

Walgreens is not Very Green

In the last several months, each time I get a prescription at my
Walgreens Store in Miami, the bottle keeps getting bigger and bigger
regardless of the size of the meds. This is both a waste of plastic
and further irritating beause the latest bottles don't come close to
fitting in my med cabinet. What's up with that Walgreens?

Dwyane Wade Band-Aid - Richard Hamilton Mask

The NBA recently banned Dwyane Wade's Band-Wade or the Dwyane Wade Band-Aid eventhough some NBA fans say that it is not much different than Richard Hamilton's Mask. Rip Hamilton was allowed to wear his mask after he broke his nose but the NBA has recently ruled that Wade cannot. Dwyane Wade received stiches under his eye after taking an elbow from Juwan Howard. After that, Wade a fashion trendsetter and marketing guru has been wearing the Band-Wade. At last night's Miami Heat game, the Heat gave out Band-Wades to the fans. For information on purchasing the Band-Wade, see the link below.
