Now that it’s summer, we all start to crave ice cream more than ever, am I right? I recently discovered cherry Dilly bars and it’s kind of my favorite right now. Although nothing will ever come between me and my chocolate, so Dove unconditional chocolate pints will always be my number one.
I grew up in a small river town, Stillwater MN. Beautiful place to grow up! There was this mom and pop ice cream shop called Art’s that had these HUGE scoops. I think the place is still there, but it’s been a while since I’ve been to the hometown. Anyway, I spent many a summer day riding bikes up to Art’s to get a big cone. It was usually either orange sherbet, or strawberry cheesecake. The occaisonal trip to Dairy Queen, I would always want a peanut buster parfait.
And another fond memory was when we would hear the tinkling music of the ice cream trucks. We had a lot of kids in the neighborhood, and as soon as you heard that music, bats, balls and bikes would be dropped and you would hear kids running and screaming “ICE CREAM TRUCK!!! MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”
Ahhh childhood memories! What was your favorite ice cream treat growing up? And is it still the same today? Am I making you want to run out and get a blizzard now? Or a dilly bar? Hey it’s summer! The calories don’t count when it’s hot out
