Highest-rated ice cream shops in St. Louis, according to Yelp
Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 09:28:40 GMT
Ice cream is a treat all year round, although the frequency and volume consumed during the hotter months might eclipse the colder months. The range of flavors in ice cream shops has evolved since the olden days when flavors were mainly limited to vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.The best shops nowadays offer fresh combinations and ingredients you may never have imagined could be made into ice cream. Yes, you can find your classics, but also new concoctions like black sesame cookies and cream or honey lavender. Some shops boast flavors with even more unheard-of ingredients and combinations, like the savory herb tarragon or pineapple with pink peppercorns.Ice cream creators have also expanded into rethinking frozen yogurt, soft serve, and vegan options. The dairy-free folks no longer have to order the only sorbet on the menu. There are non-dairy milk ice creams made from plant-based milks like oat or almond and other plant-based products like avocado or sunflower butter.One of the b...Man injured after car slams into him in Pacoima

OAKLAND — Brent Rooker concedes he is having some difficulty processing his new-found status as an American League All-Star.Rooker, 28, was the Athletics selection Sunday to the 2023 All-Star game in Seattle on the basis of a red hot start which has since tailed off into a slump for the better part of the last two months.So being included on the American League team with the likes of the Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout and the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge is pretty heady stuff.“I will feel very out of place. I promise that,” Rooker said. “I will look around the clubhouse and kind of wonder who let me in and why they let me in. But it will be a real cool feeling and I’m going to be one of the guys in that clubhouse. I am going to be the guy looking around wide-eyed and star-struck, that’s for sure.”Rooker, claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Royals last November, is the A’s leader in both home runs (13...Electric closer Camilo Doval is SF Giants’ lone All-Star selection

NEW YORK — Gabe Kapler requested Camilo Doval’s presence in his office at about 4:15 Sunday afternoon, some three hours before first pitch of their series finale against the Mets. The meeting, the Giants’ manager told him, regarded his work in the running game, an area of focus where he’s made strides this season.A few minutes later, a round of applause could be heard from outside the room. Of course the scheduled topic of discussion was but a ruse: It was All-Star selection Sunday.“They played a prank on me. They told me that they were going to talk to me about the running game,” Doval said. “I was like, ‘Really? But I’ve been doing good on the running game.’ After they talked for a little bit, they gave me the news of being selected to the All-Star game. I just felt like a little kid, really nervous, I didn’t know what to say.”Doval, the National League leader in saves (24) with a 1.89 ERA and 12.9 strikeouts per nine innings, ...Alameda County, foster care provider to pay $3.5 million for toddler’s fatal methamphetamine overdose

Alameda County and a nonprofit foster care provider are expected to pay a $3.5 million settlement over the 2015 death of 3-year-old Mariah Mustafa, who fatally overdosed on methamphetamine after social workers overrode warnings that the child was in danger in her foster home, according to court filings.The settlement comes after attorneys for the girl’s brother said they discovered systemic failings in how county social workers investigated claims of abuse and neglect across the county’s foster care system.Reporting by the Bay Area News Group, which identified the girl as Mariah Mustafa, revealed a series of failures by the people tasked with keeping the girl safe, most notably in their decision to return Mariah to her foster home after a first overdose. The new court filings also suggest a possible cover-up by a manager for the foster care provider, aimed at keeping the girl’s exposure to methamphetamine secret, and hiding details of her foster home’s troubl...2 people were killed and 28 wounded in mass shooting at a Baltimore block party
