           Happy Birthday, America

Doesn’t this bring back good memories? I don’t think we ever get too old to enjoy a good old messy ice cream cone. This is especially true for Emerson, granddaughter of our own Carole Lee.

Everybody has a favorite flavor or brand of ice cream, and we all express our opinion about whose ice cream is the best. Each manufacturer develops its own special recipes, but the actual ice cream production is basically the same everywhere.

According to the International Dairy Association, based on ice cream consumption figures the top five individual flavors in the United States are vanilla, chocolate, cookie n’ cream, strawberry, and chocolate chip mint. They also state that ice cream and related frozen desserts are consumed by more than 90% of the households in the United States. That’s a lot of ice cream!

Novelties are separately packaged single servings of a frozen dessert, such as ice cream sandwiches, fudge sticks, and fruit and juice bars that may or may not contain dairy ingredients. Love those cherry popsicles.

Don’t forget the old standby home ice cream freezer. As kids, we turned the freezer by hand and knew it was ready when it got too hard to turn the handle. It took lots of ice and rock salt. It took a while to make, but it was worth the wait. We usually had vanilla, but sometimes my mom would put strawberries or peaches in the freezer. Yum. Now we have electric ice cream freezers, which are faster, and the ice cream still tastes good—but not quite as good. So pull out that freezer when you have your summer barbecues and outdoor family outings. Give everyone a treat.
