Ice Cream for Lunch

[Veronica]

It called to me when I did my groceries today. Then I was starving when I got home, so I had to eat right away.

I highly recommend Dreyer's Double Fudge Brownie in the single serving size, currently on sale at Raleys. It doesn't have much in the way of nutrients, 8% of your calcium for the day, but it's tasty stuff.

Isn't it funny how much louder the call of ice cream becomes in the summer. I will seriously have to go back to making my own cennamon ice cream when we get settled in the new house.

I had carrot cake and vanilla ice cream for lunch one day last week.

Then I had leftover carrot cake for dinner after doing the Skyline Dr ride on Sunday.

I polished it off with 10 - 12 blueberries.

Man I love straight blueberries! We had wild ones growing on our land in Maine when I was a kid. I use to pick them and my mom would sell them at work so I'd have money for school clothes. I never made a ton of money - probably because more blueberries went in my tummy then into the bucket.

Oh I've done that before. I admit this with no shame. I *lurve* the ice cream. nom nom nom

I think my favorite ice cream is the Tillamook Oregon Strawberry. It is amazingly good. I like to use fresh strawberries/blueberries to go along with it. YUM. Tillamook is our fave ice cream and we've tried basically every single one, hands down for my family strawberry is the OMG flavor. (Unless you hate strawberries, then try something else, like good old fashioned vanilla. )

Good ice cream is high in essential nutrients. It feeds the very soul.

I am not a big ice cream girl - I tend to prefer sorbet. There's something about ice cream that is just too rich for me, I guess.

That said, I have found the one ice cream I really like: ginger ice cream. It's great stuff. I still can't eat a lot of it (it takes me at least 3-4 ice cream snack sessions to finish a pint), but ohhh is it yummy.

I also like coconut almond chip, but that's more of a "small scoop or two for dessert" rather than something I'd eat by itself. The ginger, though.. it's nice.

Ice cream is essential for me to maintain life. Wild blueberries are probably the best childhood memory I have.

Ice cream for dinner is a fine idea. Carrot cake is a fine idea.

Yum, ginger ice cream. That sounds so refreshing. I love ginger anything ... cookies, tea, crystalized ginger to munch on. I'll definitely have to give the ice cream a try.

I discovered that the two local grocery stores within walking distance from me carry Graeter's (it's a Cincinnati-based company). If I'm very lucky, they have black raspberry chip in stock. (They specialize in "chip" ice cream. They're not really "chips" of chocolate...more like boulders!) Last time I was at the grocery store, yeah, I bought a pint. (It keeps the Ben and Jerry's company.) And yes, I'm thoroughly convinced that that is the only company that can possibly make BRC.

Ginger ice cream, eh? Sounds delicious.

To me ice cream is pointless unless it's rich Mövenpicks is my favourite, I just can't eat a whole lot at a time.

We have wild blueberries all over the woods here in autumn They pick easily, freeze easily, and taste even better when brought out sugarcovered in the middle of winter. But wild strawberries are better than anything else.

We get time off from work if we donate blood, and today's the day. Which leads to the question, where to go for lunch? You people are E-vile , planting the ice cream thought in my head so early in the day. I'm going to have to go to my local independantly owned, make-their-own, ice cream parlor, Creole Creamery, for lunch. They make about 8 varieties of chocolate, and all sorts of interesting (sometimes venturing on *strange*) flavors.

Live with the guilt.


(and I'm another ginger ice cream fan)

One summer my dad and I made ice cream routinely and ritually.

It might have been 1972 because we had a tv outside and I think we watched the Olympics as we cranked.
