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”.
