Wild Alaskan salmon and halibut have squatting rights in most of our freezers this time of year, but you might want to consider giving up some prime real estate for ice cream made locally by Elissa Brown and Chris Pike. Their brain-freeze child, Wild Scoops, is only a few months young and already has a cult-like following among ice cream lovers in the know.
Brown says she loves creating new flavors -- Ship Creek Sriracha and Midnight Sun Brewing's Arctic Rhino Coffee Porter with dark chocolate fudge -- but what she really enjoys is being able to collaborate with farmers and artisan business owners and to educate customers on what we have around us. "Ice cream connects to everything," she assures me. "And it makes people happy."
