Today, on his way home from donating blood, my wonder spouse stopped at Zesto's and had a butterscotch yogurt malt. He only did this, he assured me, because the nice Red Cross nurse told him he should get a treat on the way home. I guess he gave really good blood.
This desire for cold sweet treats is symptomatic of the time of year. The fact that we're in the middle of a heat wave probably helps too. On Wednesday we ate lunch at the Lunch Box Cafe and ordered mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert. It was delicious. As a general rule, we never even order desserts in restaurants.
And this is not just regional. My west coast brother told me that today is "National Ice Cream Cake Day" and my husband's oldest son and family are world travelers, and pictures they post frequently include delicious looking sweet treats.
So take a minute right now to decide what is your very favorite ice cream or sherbet. Then think of the country where you had this treat and start planning your next trip. My very favorite is Italian Lemon Ice. I could buy a ticket to Florence, or I could just go to Kroger's, a much shorter trip, and buy some Luigi's Real Italian Ice (lemon flavor of course).
Sweet sweets dreams, everyone.
