Hot Summer Days and Ice Cream

What is it about a hot summer days and ice cream? 


I recently came across a batch of small ice cream dishes (or sherbet bowls) and re-discovered my love of  the frosty stuff. There's something about the bowls that make the ice cream taste even better!


Hot summer evenings also brings back memories of ice cream floats at my grandparents home and huge banana splits that my Dad used to build.






We're heading into a a mini-heat wave here in southern Alberta and after the cool, rainy spring it feels nice. Bring it on! I've stocked the freezer, bought the bowls, found an awesome scoop at a garage sale and have postponed dieting for another few weeks!


How do you like your ice cream served - in a cone, waffle bowl, shake, float or sundae?

  4. I love ice cream in a cone! MMMMMmmmm! Of course, milk shakes, floats, and splits are high on my list, too. Haven't had any for nearly a year. After this post I may just break down. lol
