BON APPETIT!!

Day Tripping!! Scottish Highland Creamery, Oxford, Maryland, Oxford’s Picket Fences, Fundraising, Maryland’s Eastern Shore

I scream for Ice Cream!!  I love ice cream.  It is my donwfall.  I really don’t keep it in the freezer, no way!!  My problem is that I usually do not discriminate.  I can have a Frosty or I can have the best homemade ice cream in the world.  Which is why I am writing this post today….and passing the info. to you.

A couple of posts back I wrote about the Robert Morris Inn in Oxford, Maryland.  No dessert was needed after our fab. lunch….we were walking towards the Scottish Highland Creamery located at 314 Tilghman St., Tel. 410-924-6298.  Website?  http://www.scottishhighlandcreamery.com.  If you are on Facebook, check them out there, as well.

Oxford is usually pretty quiet in the middle of the week.  The Creamery always has a line.  I have to admit it; this is the best ice cream ever!!  It is so good.  Fresh ingredients with flavorings imported from Italy.  They also have sugar free and gluten free ice cream.  Note:  They do cater parties!!

My usual suspects, the 2 Debbies and I had the following….Please do remember that only cash or checks are accepted.  From left to right….2 scoops each.  Italian Lemon Cookie with Coffee Hazelnut Crunch on the bottom.  Both had very distinct flavors with bits and pieces of cookie and hazelnut crunch.  Next was strawberry on top of vanilla.  And last was Coffee Hazelnut Crunch on top of Pomegranate!!  And, you know how ice cream prices take you to the poor house?  The Creamery is very affordable!!   Voted “Best of the Eastern Shore.”

We sat down to enjoy our delish sweet ending, overlooking one beautiful scenic town.

Oxford’s Picket Fences are Up!!

This is a fundraising event…Since 2009 picket fences have been painted by local artists.  The fences are displayed around the town of Oxford; smaller ones are usually inside businesses and the larger ones are outdoors scattered through downtown.  You can vote for them, but you will have to wait until the end of the summer when they will be auctioned off. Residents that have bought them in the past display them with pride.

Artists paint them and offer proceeds to a charity chosen by them.  Please visit http://www.portofoxford.com, then click on Special Events.  You will be able to see the picket fences for 2015.  Here a few of them:

No Dogs Allowed – By Maggii Sarfati.  Charity:  Talbot Humane Society.  You can find this fence at the Scottish Highland Creamery.

The next one is Forward and AFT by Sean Wells.  Charity:  Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.  You can find this beautiful one at the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry Dock.

Land of Pleasant Living is a smaller picket fence painted by Bible Praire and Prayers Painters.  Charity:  Character Counts Mid Shore, Inc.  You will find this one inside Benson & Mangold’s Window.

Have a great day!!
