Savoring Summer #2: Twists on ice cream

When I think of the perfect summer, I think of warm afternoons cooled off with a heaping helping of ice cream — OK, maybe not a whole heaping helping, but you get the point. In fact, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. There is nothing that can’t be cured with an ice cream cone. It’s a fact. Growing up, I spent many a happy afternoon on walks to get ice cream and having to scarf it down before it dripped down my chin as we sat on benches outside. And what’s better than traditional ice cream? These 10 tasty twists…
