Ice Cream is my favorite food, YES it is. When I was very young, I thought a boiled Maine lobster was my favorite meal and then for the longest time pasta in various incarnations and sauces would have been my answer. But now, through years of therapy, intensive inward analysis, a 12 step program and past life therapy – I NOW KNOW that given a choice of picking only one food you could eat – it would be ice cream!
Ice cream is the perfect food – not the egg, not a banana. “It fills up my senses” – and I mean that literally. When you lick an ice cream cone or taste that first spoonful, a whole world of pleasurable sensations opens up for you; the ice cream is COLD, it chills your cheeks, clears your head and soothes your throat. It’s creamy and soft and that makes it a truly sensual experience, It’s sweet and therefore satisfying and energizing at the same time. AND the last bite tastes just as good as the first one!!! I think the fact that I was born on the cusp of Taurus pretty much explains where all that comes from; even the simplest of astrological sign descriptions will reveal that those born under the sign of the bull are a luxury loving, sensual group surrounding themselves with velvets, good music, comfortable furnishings and good food. Taurus is the astrological Sign which is known for its sensitivity to sensual experiences provided through the five physical senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound – and its appreciation for the pleasures and comforts of life.
AND under the sign of the twins, Castor and Pollux Geminis are quick, clever, impulsive, restless, changeable and highly intellectual. They crave novelty and variety, and grow bored easily. I think that explains the conflict, the paralyzing indecision, the interminable changing of the mind, and the overwhelming burden of having to choose just ONE flavor – it’s so hard except when you go to Day’s Ice Cream and they, understanding the true nature of an addiction, will gladly provide two flavors in any size cup.
That’s the prologue to what follows; I LOVE: Peanut Butter Moose Tracks, Toasted Coconut Almond Fudge, Banana Fudge, Ben and Jerry’s New York Super Fudge, Chubby Hubby, Mr. Goody, Orange Creamsicle, Cookie Dough, Strawberry, Green Tea, Red Bean, Peanut Butter Twist, Butter Pecan, Mint Chocolate Chip, Peppermint, Peach, Vanilla, Chocolate, Mud Pie, Coffee, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Toasted Coconut, Chunky Monkey, Pistachio, Cherry Garcia, Jamocha Almond Fudge, Eggnog, Pumpkin, Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Orange Pineapple, Sweet Cream, Snickers, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Truffle, Chocolate Brownie Fudge and and AND I think the list is LONGER, similar to the words of Buzz Lightyear, “To infinity and beyond”.

I am right there with you! You covered so eloquently all the reasons why ice cream is the perfect food!!! I once thought that the ideal dinner was a hot fudge sundae. The perfection of ice cream’s cold, sweet and smooth, contrasted with chewy and hot chocolaty goo… Now I am just satisfied with a cone (usually). But I must say that you are MUCH more adventurous with your beloved flavors. For me, it’s usually the same ol’ mint chip, although I do venture into the wild reaches of peanut butter and non-mint chip sometimes. (Sagittarius-related, perhaps?) Thanks for the tribute to ice cream, so richly deserved!!!
Hi Mindy,
Thanks for you comment! I just KNEW there were others out there, those of us who truly appreciate ice cream’s finer qualities along with the fabulous taste sensations. I do like any one of the flavors I mentioned BUT at Day’s Ice Cream they know my one true love is Peanut Butter Moose Tracks. I LOVE it.
The next time I come to the apple, I’ll have to sojourn to Day’s. Tx! 😉
I love ice cream! Pretty much all flavor but sometimes I think that certain ice creams are a tease so I make my own:
Thanks for stopping by – a friend made homemade peach ice cream two weeks ago – yuuummmmmyyyy
Your welcome. How did she made hers.
OMG I can’t believe I wrote peach- what was I thinking? We were having a N’awlins dinner and she made toasted butter pecan. She has a real simple machine but I wasn’t there when she made it – It was delicious!
