Ice Cream Please

It's not always good for me. Sometimes, it is forbidden. A little dab will often do me, but I keep reaching for more. I have a strong preference for home-made creams. And once ice cream has become ice cream, you can put away all the candy, cookies, and strawberries. I desire nothing else to be added to my ice cream. Well, with one exception. Consider it 'your calling' to serve me up with plenty of walnuts and pecans. I must confess that I'm a very nutty guy. Also, a cup or a dish is much more preferred than cones. Sure, the hot afternoon is a great time for ice cream, but I prefer the nights. I suspect that for most of us, there is a strong gravitational pull toward ice cream during the Summer, but for me, ice cream is good all four seasons. Whether being enjoyed while reading, watching television, during a friendly chat with my wife, or simply nothing at all, ice cream is a tongue-licking good treat all the time. 070822PSCtest, Ice Cream, Julia Ward

I’m a cone person who loves coffee or raspberry ice cream with chocolate chips the most (but also like other flavors with nuts) but I enjoyed reading about your ice cream preferences, Curtis. And yes, all year long!
