Happy National Ice Cream Day!!! squeeeeee! Can't Post

National Ice Cream Day celebrated third Sunday in July in the US signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on July 9, 1984. What a wise man :D

You KNOW he did it for me :)

So what's your favourite Ice Cream!? I might just have some in the freezer right now!

Mine changes around, but MUST be with a waffle cone. There's
Fudge Ripple with choco-chunks


Sherbert... mostly Orange!

Moose Tracks (like Fudge Ripple, but has peanuts)

There a small, local drive-in restaurant that makes a hot fudge sundae... but they put a sourdough donut down in the dish first! OMG! I dream of those!

But one of the best Ice Cream cones I've had was while I was at a festival on Oriental Bay at Frank Kitts Park in Wellington, NZ. They had ICE CREAM! I wanted to try something I've never had before. I normally don't get straight chocolate Ice Cream, but this one looked yummy!! They gave me a sampler of it, and I snagged it fast! Regrettably (surprisingly) I didn't get a picture of the whole thing, so I went online to find a pic that looked like it.



This is the only picture I got, and it's the last bite.

National Ice Cream Day? [In reply to] Can't Post

What a civilised notion! Our weather would be fine for that just now, but in this country you could just as easily have rain and wind, so it would be a bit of a gamble. I don't have one particular favourite, there are so many tasty versions out there. I should try them all before making an informed decision, really...

Alas! [In reply to] Can't Post

I am not allowed ice cream. Until recently I made do with cottage cheese and pineapple, but I think I am becoming intolerant to that, too. Frown

We are the fighting Uruk-Hai! We slew the great warrior! Well, yeah, first he killed a bunch of us and another whole lot of Mauhúr's lads, and we had to shoot enough arrows into him to drop a Mûmak. But we got him!

Ice cream makers learned long ago [In reply to] Can't Post

that calling any recipe "Death by Chocolate" would be an instant winner with me. There's a homemade ice cream shop 1 block from where I live, and they just added it to their very long list: chocolate ice cream, brownies, chocolate chips. Bliss.

We celebrated again this year. [In reply to] Can't Post

It was a bowl of Orange Creme Fruit Swirl for my dad, and Cherry Vanilla for me. And I think we're going to keep the celebration going as the weather is just too dang hot not to! It's normal to have anywhere from 3 to 5 cartons of ice cream on hand at all times, isn't it? I don't eat very much at a time or eat it all that often, I just like having options when the mood strikes.
