Prompt June 1, 2023

what is your favorite flavor of ice cream at the moment? who makes it?
do you have more than one favorite?

soft serve or dipped? Do you buy it in the huge box or a pint at a time?

I am not a big fan of ice cream.  Now, having said that I did partake in gelato while we were in Italy.  More than once.  The pistaschio came highly recommended in Milan but I was not a fan.  The lime gelato I had in Switzerland was much more to my liking.

When I was a kid I loved going to Laura Secord at the mall and getting orange sherbert.  Yum.  I definitely prefer sherbert over ice cream.  I do like to go to DQ for a banana split once a year.  Well, not so much any more as they have become wildly over priced and just not worth it.  I will get a Skor Blizzard instead.  

When my first niece was two years old I bought her an ice cream cone.  It was a hot summer day so I am sure you can imagine what happened.  I can still picture the ice cream running down her hands and arms.  My sister was not impressed.  As a matter of fact she tried to return the favour when she was visiting one summer years later.  I only had two boys then.  They were two and not quite one if I am remembering correctly.  The oldest was a complete disappointment to her as he stayed perfectly clean while eating his ice cream.  Typical of him.  My second son did however make up for that.  

It is interesting the memories that are conjured up around ice cream.  My dad made the mistake of buying me a milk shake when we were in his brand new car.  Let's just say that my second son and I have a lot in common.  Giggles.
