Always Have Ice Cream in the Freezer

I don't think this is learned, but rather stored knowledge in our genes!

Always have ice cream stocked in your freezer! Chocolate syrup, sprinkles, bananas, cones are great to have on hand too, but not necessary! Whipped cream, well, let say if you have cats, it is a must!
Doesn't matter what flavor...whatever is your favorite. I love strawberry, real vanilla, chocolate with brownies, strawberry cheesecake, peppermint candy cane around Christmas, Pina Colada in the summer! Mmmmm!

When I was little, my Uncle owned an ice cream parlor. The old kind with the long luncheonette counters with the stools that spun around, booths in the back and tiled floors! He made the best homemade ice cream you could ever have! My Mom would pile my sister and me into the car & make a special trip into Queens Village just for his ice cream! My favorite was walnut ice cream with real pieces of walnut in it! Hot summer nights and walnut ice cream ... what more could I ask for!

When is ice cream ever a bad idea? When you're happy, it makes you happier; soothes when you are sad; great for snack time; comforts a broken heart; makes little kids happy (big kids too); creates memorable moments between 2 people sharing a pint; a must for every birthday party; and kitty cats like it too!

My cat knows when it is ice cream time at night before I even reach the freezer! Once I actually get the container out...well, you would think I haven't fed her in a week! She knows she gets a little spoonful with some whipped cream (on a separate plate of course)! That is her midnight snack! Help me if I don't give her any... I won't get a moment of peace! I guess cats know what's good too!

So, at 3 o'clock in the morning, what do you think I am doing while I write this?!!!!


look...you can get strawberries stuffed with ice cream...how cool is that!!!
