When I was in high school, I had an English teacher who swore by the healing properties of ice cream. She always said that ice cream was the key to bringing a smile to a face and lifting a person out the doldrums. I think she's right. I've never experienced a moment where I didn't feel better after a few creamy scoops of ice cream...as long as it isn't vanilla. I've always found it too bland; it just doesn't have enough excitement in it. Give me plain chocolate, cherry cordial, mint chocolate chip, or some other concoction that involves chocolate and I'm a happy camper. Another mood altering treat would be the push pops with the orange creme sherbet. I could devour a whole package of those. For my son, he'll have to settle for soy-based "ice cream," as he can't have anything with dairy in it. Too bad the flavors are limited to just chocolate and vanilla (at least to my knowledge). Lately, though, he's discovered the joys of Jell-O. There's something refreshing about cherry Jell-O on a hot day. I think it's time for a second bowl...mmmm.
