Here's an idea ...

...for your bedtime snack.  Or, if it's too late for that, think about having ice cream for breakfast.  Today is "Ice Cream Soda Day," which I think is a day worthy of being honored.  When I was a child we could still get real ice cream sodas at the counter in our small town drug store.  It was also the place to buy comic books and inexpensive makeup, but that's a different story.  As a youth my favorite flavor was chocolate but when I grew up I married a man who had a fondness for A&W Root Beer, and I quickly discovered the joy of root beer floats.  These, of course, had to be served in the frosty cold mugs.  I still have a couple of those mugs somewhere.  While we were dating and still in college my soon to be spouse introduced me to the wonders of Lime O's, a lime soda and vanilla ice cream combination that was delicious, especially on a hot day.  Actually, my future husband and I were set up on a blind date, and our first date ever was at the sweet shop drinking Lime O's.  Sadly, as I sit here writing this, all I have in my freezer is plain vanilla ice cream, no soda to go with it.  Ah well, I will just have to make do.
