A Case for Ice Cream in Winter
They should make a Brandy Butter ice cream.. like the kind you put on Christmas pudding. Do they have that in US?

A Case for Ice Cream in Winter
That's what I've read too, that more ice cream is sold (in the US) in winter by far than in summer. Funny...

I used to work for a printing company that produces the cartons that Edys/Dryers and Haagen Daz are packed into. I had an interesting discussion with the Salesman on one of the accounts regarding the upswing in production that we always had in the autumn. He said that they sell substantially more ice cream in the Winter than they do in the summer.
Maybe it is because the stores close up?

President's Choice makes some interesting stuff. For a while, we had it here in St. Louis at a now-defunct supermarket chain. When we went to Stratford and Niagara-On-The-Lake, I had a great time in the markets looking at what they are doing now.

One of my favourite Christmas treats is Candy Cane Crackle Ice Cream. A Canadian manufacturer-President's Choice-makes it. I was thrilled to see it in the freezer at the store the other day-I know it's not even Halloween yet, but oh my, is that stuff good!

Driving down Rt. 1 in Wells, Maine this weekend we noticed that the world was a darker, sadder place for the next few months: Big Daddy's Ice Cream was closed for the season.

There is no need to make the case for ice cream. The ice cream experience is not about hot or cold, it is about happiness and deliciousness. You can have those any time of the year.

I remember leaving a Baskin & Robins one Sunday evening around 7:30 or so, when the temperature was below zero (Fahrenheit) and the wind was blowing, carrying my Jamocha Almond Fudge and Pralines and Cream cone and happily realizing that it wasn't melting all over the cone. Preserves the proper texture!

I run an after school program and we just recently acquired an ice cream machine (nothing fancy) through donation, for our cooking club. The odds of my impatient kids waiting until spring for ice cream is unthinkable. I just about jumped out of my skin when I saw it, too, knowing that The Perfect Scoop was recently out and talked about.
Long story short, we will be making ice cream this winter. And maybe I'll turn my KFC loving kids into little gourmets.
Three cheers for ice cream in the cold!

wow! i found your blog a while ago, but never commented until now...because i too grew up near Bubbling Brook (Norwood) and am waxing nostalgic for it as i write, recalling all the many times my mom would "treat" me and my 3 brothers to a giant cone there if we (pick one): stopped fighting, cleaned up our rooms, stopped fighting, stayed "out of her hair" for more than 5 consecutive minutes, stopped fighting.
My mom got sick and died from pancreatic cancer 4 years ago at the age of 61. During her last fall, while she was still feeling ok, her biggest request to me was to take hre to Bubbling Brook--she'd get fried clams and a peppermint stick ice cream cone, i'd get a soft vanilla with chocolate hard shell, and we'd sit in the waning late september light on the picnic tables outside remembering all the times we'd been there before and savoring the moment we had now. I am always sad when I drive by and it as closed, but seeing it in the spring, opening with lines of little kids hopping up and down impatiently...some thing are worth waiting for.
thanks for posting about such a great place and stirring up some lovely memories for me.
namaste,
amy

Under ideal conditions, I don't crave cold food. It's got to be 302 in the shade before I really "crave" a salad or even ice cream.
