I is for... Ice Cream
I scream, You scream,
We All Scream for
Ice Cream
Cape Cod is famous for our many small, local homemade Ice Cream shops. Interesting flavor combinations, Ideal locations and settings, and Incredible flavor. (Okay, I'll admit, this photo wasn't even taken on Cape Cod, but in Mexico with my good friend and Chicago comedienne extraordinaire Nancy Walker. But you have to admit it's an awesome photo...)
Given all the choices of Ice Cream available, why do my kids prefer Dairy Queen?
I remember memorizing the DQ jingle when I was 4, but it was the only Ice Cream in town. Does anyone else remember the commercials with the Peanuts gang dancing their way to DQ? "Let's all go, hand in hand, to the Dairy Queen in the scrump-dilly-ishous land... " Short, silly, and I still remember it after all these years. (we won't get into just how many years...)
My favorite Ice Cream nowadays is from Sundae School, the homemade Ice Cream shop that's a few blocks up from our house... a world away from Mexican cones or Dairy Queen jingles...
Do you have a favorite Ice Cream shop? Is it small and local with homemade Ice Cream, or a large chain with a jingle on t.v.? Or do you believe any Ice Cream is Good Ice Cream?
One more Important questions: Cone or Cup?
P.S. For those of you - any of you - who are on Cape Cod this week, I will be speaking tonight at A Book In Hand, a monthly presentation of local prose authors at the Jacob Sears Library in East Dennis. It's from 7-8:30 p.m., and will include a book signing and raffle. Come by and say hi!
