Cold Stone Creamery
Dechene
18314 Lessard Rd. NW, Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of custom-crafted, generously topped ice cream and more at Cold Stone Creamery inside Tim Hortons.

Cold Stone’s ice cream, made in-store daily, inhabits a quantum flux between soft-serve and traditional ice cream, with a rich, creamy texture that whispers tales of its super-premium quality as it glides over taste buds. Ice-cream voyeurs can create their own ice-creamplosion from old favourites or unheard of delights ($2.89–$4.59 with two mix-ins), eliciting taste tests of dozens of silky flavours such as cake batter, cotton candy, and piñata. Each ice-cream creation generously welcomes up to two of the shop’s dozens of mix-ins as traditional as Oreo cookies and chopped nuts or as quirky as pie crust. Those willing to bequeath the invention of creamy concoctions to the professionals can try a Cold Stone Signature creation, such as the almond-studded and caramel-slathered Coffee Lovers Only or the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection with Reese’s peanut-butter cups, fudge, and a side of endorphins ($3.99–$5.75). Once concoctions are chosen and perfected, they’re scooped cold into freshly made waffle cones or bowls.

Cold Stone’s crack cakesmiths also forge glacial delicacies in spectacular styles such as Strawberry Passion—whose immaculately formed graham-cracker crust and strawberry frosting formations conceal alternating strata of yellow cake and strawberry ice cream—and Cookie Dough Delirium, a madcap miracle wrapped in a straitjacket of sweet cream and yellow cake (6″ round cake, $26.99). Ice-cream sandwiches (four-pack, $11.99), meanwhile, serve as ideal cold compresses for sprained tongues and weepy snowmen and are available in flavours including cake batter and cookie crumb.

Today’s Groupon: for $47, you get three homemade family-size meals at Dinner Factory in St. Albert (a $95 value).

Stocked with locally sourced ingredients, Dinner Factory decorates dining-room tables with a rotating selection of creative meals custom assembled by each customer in its culinary workshop. After Dinner Factory’s prep team chops and minces its preordained grocery list into celebratory confetti shreds, household heads can flock to its community kitchen to fashion a family feast in around 30 minutes from a monthly menu of 14 entree options serving four to six portions each. Customers equipped with detailed station instructions enlist hormone-free meat and poultry from farms within 100 miles to anchor their meal creations, such as coconut crusted chicken with rice and snap peas or the summer-favourite Hawaiian teriyaki chicken burgers. Customers can also fill fridges and freezers with refined and healthful stovetop staples, such as seafood risotto, a collection of prawns, scallops, and crabmeat combined with a white wine stock, onion, saffron, crushed garlic, and rice. In addition to alleviating supper anxiety, Dinner Factory also caters to healthful homes by allowing customers to leave out any undesired ingredients from each recipe, and includes gluten-free alternatives and whole-wheat bread and pasta.

Dinner Factory’s kitchen mavens assign each entree ratings on a scale of one to three based on at-home cooking effort, assembly time, and kid favourites, enabling clients to customize a menu conducive to limited kitchens and toddler potlucks. In order to accommodate smaller tribes, customers can split their prepared meals in half to yield twice as many smaller platters. Dinner Factory can also do the assembling and deliver its prix fixe sensations for additional fees.

The tandoori salmon, a Khazana specialty, seasons Atlantic salmon with a slew of freshly ground spices ($19.25), and the chicken malai paints plump pieces of chicken breast with splashes of velvety cream sauce ($17.50). Vegetarian specialties range from saag paneer, a spunky duo of spinach and cheese that entertains mouths with robust flavour and sly bedroom humour ($12), to mutter mushroom, a medley of green peas and button mushrooms in the chef’s signature curry ($10.50). Palates can be refreshed between bites with a beverage selection that includes masala chai ($2.95), Kingfisher Indian beer ($6.95), and other authentic Indian beverages.

The lunch buffet is among the most extensive in the city, serving a different selection of dishes each day with frequent appearances by butter chicken, beef korma, and at least four dessert options (a $14.50 value). Khazana’s spacious dining area, three fireplaces, wood furnishings, and seasonally rotating artifacts construct an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere ideal for family gatherings or testing out new satin pajamas.
