CELEBRATIONS:  National Ice Cream Month  by Whitney Long “I scream, You scream, We all scream for ice cream!” Remember saying that as a child?   Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Butter Pecan and Neapolitan (I would always have this at my grandmother’s and felt so grown-up and adventurous) were pretty much the standard choices then.  Now, the flavors of our childhood have made way for a whole new batch of creative and unique combinations.  Walk in to an ice cream shop or even your grocery store and you will have a plethora of choices with ingredients and flavors that taste surprisingly good together.  When President Ronald Regan declared July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984, who would have guessed that 28 years later there would be such variety in our cones and cups?  So go on and live a little this summer!  Order the jalapeno caramelized bacon, try the lemongrass, lavender and honey or the Jack Daniels brown sugar cream.  In the midst of our hot, humid summer, a scoop (or two) will hit the spot and cool you off.  And who knows, you may discover a new favorite flavor! If you are in any of these southern locations, be sure to try these highly recommended flavors: Jake’s Ice Cream – Atlanta, GA    Mexican Hot Chocolate    Honey Vanilla Amy’s Ice Cream – Austin, TX    Bourbon Custard    Pineapple Upside Down Cake Creole Creamery – New Orleans, LA    Sweet Potato Sassafras Praline    Creole Cream Cheese w/ Wild Blueberry - Pecan Cornbread The Pied Piper Creamery  - Nashville, TN    Krispee-Kreme Donut    Lemon Poundcake Moo Cow Ice Cream  - St. Simons Island, GA    Sweet Corn    Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Ultimate Ice Cream – Asheville, NC    Sweet Cream with Blueberry Swirl    Goat Cheese and Bing Cherry

You scream,

We all scream for ice cream!”
