I Scream, You Scream for Ice Cream
It’s time to feel alive with summer’s delight.
Summer has kicked into higher gear, inviting us to enjoy its symphony of colours, from the melodious tweeting of birds to the scorching warmth of long days and starlit nights. It’s a time to chase the trail of dusky evenings by dodging the sun’s fiery gaze and to admire the dragonflies gracefully hovering around ponds and puddles.
Despite the occasional bug bites, pollen allergies, and heat burns, summer transports us to a wonderland of magic, siestas, and electrifying events. Life jumps on its toes, from turquoise beaches to cherry hillside sunsets, where people flock with family and friends, relishing every moment of repose.
It’s the season of the humongous ice cream truck followed insanely by children and river-wide tubs devoured by adults. Scoop after scoop, with an uncurbed craving, ice cream is the ultimate mood changer.
Making its way from withering tongues to pacing hearts, it slithers down the heated nerves and refreshes the heat-beaten vessels.
The origins of this delicious dessert trace back to ancient times. In 618 A.D., the Chinese invented the technique of freezing cow or goat’s milk for the king and his courtiers as a royal dessert, using a mixture of salts to induce a chemical reaction.
In India, during the 4th century, IBN Abu Usayibi became the first to produce ice using salts. The technology eventually made its way to Europe in 1503, reaching Naples and France.
At Windsor Castle in 1601, ice cream was first served as an exotic treat for guests, yet it remained out of reach for the poor and commoners .
Thankfully, we live in an era where ice cream is enjoyed by everyone. If it’s not for free, it comes in affordable prices around the globe.
Whether it’s strawberry madness, double death by chocolate, jolly peppermint, berrylicious cherry, or rainbow fruit sandwich, each bite is divine, unique, and unbeatable.
Grab your bowl , top it off with some pebbles of fudge or choose roasted crunchy nuts for your waffle cone. Enjoy the messy, gluey and sticky fingers because it’s blissful Summer .
Have a wonderful creamy dreamy family season!!!
