A horror movie-themed ice cream shop opened in Ripley, and it's making quite a name for itself.

I Scream Sundae has a number of over-the-top sundaes themed around many horror movies.

And I'll take a second to say, I'm really squeamish with gross stuff - blood, hair, etc. I will eat really weird foods - but the gross stuff grosses me out. So I was cautious.

But they truly have a wide range of ice creams.

You can do just scoops of ice cream with tasty flavors like pumpkin, cotton candy, peach and more. 

And you can do regular sundaes with those flavors of ice cream.

But the over-the-top sundaes are where it's at. For example, there's the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with strawberry ice cream, chocolate icing, broken glass (aka jolly ranchers), strawberry donuts and strawberry syrup.

And I went with "Children of the Corn," which is a caramel shake in a bowl of popcorn, pecan and coconut icing, popcorn ball, candy corns and drizzled in caramel syrup.

Just sharing my latest J.Q. Dickinson box - which had some delicious pasta and sauce! Rozy's Mild PEppers in Sauce is one I've been wanting to try for some time - and it's very tasty! It uses only local peppers and is perfect to have on hand.

The Parkersburg area is truly a culinary mecca, and I've been making my way through many of these restaurants.

Even those in the mall - like Bohio.

Bohio is a small food court restaurant that makes fresh tortillas and stuffs them full of meat, rice, beans and vegetables right in front of you.

For mine, I went with a burrito with cilantro rice, black beans, barbacoa, cheese, sour cream and a corn salsa.

And, it is huge.

What do you like in your burrito?

Theo Yianni's is a Greek restaurant in the Northern Panhandle that has a great following.

I've been to their previous location, but I hadn't been to the new one near the hospital so I made a trip to get food for my mother and me.

My mom went for a gyro with greek fries.

Whereas I went with a Greek salad - with crumbled feta cheese - and a house dressing.

And there's gotta be rolls with an olive oil. For me entree, I went with a Greek pasta that had feta cheese, shrimp, spinach, and tomato.

For dessert? Rice pudding!

I think I've driven by the Jumbo Buffet Grill in Parkersburg a million times, but I really never knew what it was until I popped in recently.

And surprise: It's a Chinese buffet. There are a variety of options, with all of the classics available.

Plus, they do have a sushi bar. And, lots of American options, too.



Look at this beautiful assortment - sushi, crab rangoons, honey chicken, seafood, mushrooms and more.
