Today is Thanksgiving and at least one turkey at your table won’t have much to be thankful about. Alongside our feathered friends will be mounds of stuffing, dishes of green bean casserole with crunchy onions, twice-baked sour cream cheesy potatoes, a few pumpkin and pecan pies… oh wait, I’m describing our typical Thanksgiving table.  Your…

Well, not really.  I’ve been here since day one, but I’m just mostly writing content behind the scenes now.  So, I figured you should get to know me! I’m Ian.  I have a bachelor’s degree in English, with an emphasis in creative writing, from Pittsburg State University (and I’ve finally found something to do with…

It’s the middle of summer and it’s hot! Looking at the thermometer right now, I see it’s 99 degrees outside right now!  I’m glad I’m inside in my comfortable apartment sitting at 70 degrees with the air conditioner running.  For those of you outside today, make sure you drink plenty of water and other hydrating…

Today marks our second anniversary of Golden Scoop goodness!  We’ll have delicious ice cream to sell (duh), but there wil also be music from the talented Anna and a DJ!  Sadly no face-painting this year, but perhaps you can achieve the same effect with a few artful dabs of chocolate ice cream? The festivities will…

You may want to chase this ice cream down with a martini.  Shaken, not stirred. The Mayor of Leawood, also known as Jack Murphy, has created “Secret Agent 003”, a thrilling new flavor for February.  The Mayor chose our Cookies and Cream ice cream as a base and stealthily added in blue sprinkles after he…

We like to keep everyone involved in the success of Golden Scoop, and Super Scooper Hank is rising to the occasion!  Eventually planning to take over the graphic design elements of this website, Hank is currently working on a presentation about his involvement at Golden Scoop, to be presented in a few weeks to a…

If you’ve been into the café over the last month, you’ve probably had a chance to try out “Coconut Daydreams”.  It’s a delicious coconut-flavored ice cream with toasted coconut flakes and pie crust chunks.  Yes, it’s January and twenty degrees outside, but we can all daydream about summer, right?  Here at Golden Scoop, we have…

Silent as the snow that falls On boughs of holly and Evergreen, a little house sleeps, dreaming Of sugar plums that wreath the halls. Then there comes a great clatter and a boisterous laugh: A sign that Christmas has come at last To this little house where the little things matter, Like stockings and cookies…

Time to loosen your waistbands and pull up to the table!  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we all know what that means!  Turkey and ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie coming out of our ears!  It’s a time to gather with family to enjoy a home-cooked meal and be thankful…

Actual ghost caught on camera.  No, really!  Pay no attention to the man behind the bedsheet! It’s that spooky time of year again.  Halloween is just around the corner and the ghosts are coming out to play!  (Or whooshing out to play, I suppose.)  Vampires are climbing out their coffins with a yawn, wishing they’d put…
