Dateland AZ: Date encounter

The story of how I got to Dateland, Arizona is a bit long.   Suffice to say that, once there, I decided the thing to do was to have some dates.  The town has only four builidngs, so just about the only things you can do there are buy gas and eat dates.

The culinary signature of Dateland is the date shake.  It's a lovely concoction.  The date taste is a light touch in the ice cream.  The whole thing is not too sweet, just right.  

I also picked up some Datejool dates for cooking.
