The Joys of Ice Cream

Imagine a hot, summer day, not just anywhere, but in Texas, where the temperature goes unbearably high (three-digits on a regular basis), especially if you have the misfortune to be on concrete, which adds another nine or ten degrees to you body heat.

Now imagine ice cream. Imagine the crunchy cone, the cool creamy texture (no matter what your flavor, chocolate, vanilla, or even chunky monkey), the way it slips down your throat, at least giving the appearance of cooling you off, even if in reality it does no such thing….

Heaven in a cone.
