While school is starting back and it may be getting
closer to fall, it’s still HOT outside.
Especially here in Mississippi, where there never seems to be a change
in seasons - it’s
always Hot or Very Hot! One
of the better ways I have found to cool off is to run down to my local
McDonald's and get an ice cream cone.
They are only a dollar, which is a bargain these days, and it hits the
spot when you want to cool off.

I remember when our town opened a Ryan's Steak
House. The most amazing part of the
whole place was the soft serve ice cream machine. You could have either vanilla or chocolate,
or mix the two together. It was also self-serve,
so you could practice making your own curly q's on top.
I can also remember getting my first dipped cone from
Dairy Queen, and it always amazed me that the ice cream didn't fall off the
cone once you turned it upside down to dip it in chocolate.

Today is National Soft Ice Cream Day. J.F. 'Granpda' McCullough and his son Alex,
future founders of the Dairy Queen, created soft ice cream back in 1938.
Because it's served at a warmer temperature, it's easier to taste soft ice
cream's full flavor. Its lighter texture
comes from the way it is made. Ice cream vendors use a special technique to
double the amount of air in soft ice cream. It is also lower in milk fat than
hard ice cream.

So today, I
can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to stop for a deliciously cold
ice cream cone and celebrate National Soft Ice Cream Day.
