Ice Cream and Summer Heat

Ice cream is refreshing and wonderful during a heat wave.

While National Ice Cream day has passed, the need for a cool refreshing dessert to alleviate the thirst, dehydration and sun burn rises to the top of my 'to do" list.

The luxurious smooth cooling effect of ice cream is at the top of my list. As I sit looking at my icon, dressed in winter garb, I decide it’s time to update the picture with summer attire. But first, my dairy-friendly lunch for the day will again feature one of those scrumptious sugary snacks from the Dexter Bakery. 

All you need is just one apple fritter or dunker (maybe two dunkers). Slice the sugary carb in half like a roll and place your favorite ice cream between the halves and consume as soon as possible.

A notable ice cream quote form the New York Times style section this week says: “A house without ice cream is a house without love”.
