Boulder Ice Cream, a micro-creamery

July 4th, 2008

If you’re tired of name brand ice cream but don’t want to make your own, try ice cream from a micro-creamery.  These companies make hand-crafted small batches. They’re continually experimenting and adding new flavors.

Ice cream Boulder Ice Cream                                                                        Here in Colorado we have Boulder Ice Cream. They use a slow churn process and all natural ingredients.  Along with their delicious ice cream, they make sorbet, gelato and frozen yogurts. There are over a hundred flavors such as Boulder Brown Ale and Cranberry Walnut!

KrKoll Pt Qt                                                    Always use a Kream Kollar on your pints and quarts. Because the ice cream wraps are insulated with Thinsulate Insulation, the ice cream won’t melt as fast. If you’re eating from a pint, your hands will stay comfy. The quart size looks prettier on your table when you serve guests!  

A Kup Kap is useful in the bathroom

Kup Kap bathrm use                                        I never knew how many women take a mug of tea or coffee into the bathroom for their morning routine until I began selling the Kup Kap (cup lid). What were these ladies trying to keep out of their first cup of the day? They told me – hair, cat fur, facial and body powder, make-up, perfume, hair spray and anything else floating in the air. They also enjoy their brew hotter, longer! 

Kimball’s Twin Peak Theater

Kollar Peak theatre tickets                                                                We went to the Kimball’s Twin Peak Theater to see “The Son of Rambow“. We enjoyed the movie very much as we sipped our beverages from the theater’s coffee and wine bar!

After the movie, we took a walk discussing the movie and appreciating the flower pots scattered around downtown Colorado Springs. Then we ate another delicious dinner at Jack Quinn Irish Alehouse and Pub!

We always carry our Kup Kollars (cup cozies). Mine is in my purse and Perry’s cup wrap is in his back pocket. Because we were going to the movies, we brought along our stars Kup Kollars.

Kollar Peak theatre coffee bar                                                                                    We bought our drinks from the theater,s coffee and wine bar. Our Kup Kollars kept my drink cold and Perry’s drink hot during the movie!

Friday night they stayed in Canyon, Texas. On Saturday, they went mountain biking in Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Colleen said the fun trails were a little harder than she thought they would be and it was really HOT, even though it was morning when they rode. She added they had a lot of fun!

B Coffee Lubbock                                                               Mike is enjoying his hot brew wrapped in a Kup Kollar at J&B Coffee in Lubbock. His parents are coffee drinkers so he decided to shop at Koffee Kompanions online store for gifts to give them. He gave them each a Kup Kollar (cup wrap) and a Kup Kap (cup lid). He chose fabrics he thought they would like.

Coll May 08 Jean                                                                     Jean, Mike’s Mom, holds her new blue bandana Kup Kollar which coordinates beautifully with her embroidered denim shirt. Colleen’s contemporary black and white Kup Kollar looks stylish with her black slacks and pink tee. Perhaps they have started a new fashion trend in Lubbock, Texas!
