National Ice Cream Day is Today! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month. He also established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month. So how are you gonna celebrate? Are you going to make some yummy homemade ice cream? Pig out on your favourite brand? Have a ice cream cone, sundae or sandwich? Maybe a nice milkshake? I'm personally celebrating today by making myself some homemade ice cream. I am trying to decide between making cookies 'n cream ice cream (the taste of this one rivals Bluebell, my favourite brand!) or Nutella Swirl Ice Cream...I mean who can resist Nutella! So tell me, how are you celebrating national ice cream day today and if you have any nice ice cream recipes do share!

Oh yes sharing with friends is always a nice way to celebrate. I made some home made vanilla ice cream just the other day and shared with my friends. Dressed it up with some pirouette wafers and they were delighted because they never had those type of wafers before. It was nice. Now that batch is all gone so I am making some new ice cream today.

Now that sounds like a Great event! I wonder if we can get it recognised here in the UK, though this month hasn't been the best weather for Ice-cream, I'd 'HAVE TO' eat it ........ The more excuses I can find to eat delicious home made Ice-cream the better. I've never tried Cookies n Cream, (I suppose it should be called 'Biscuits and Cream' here - but cookies sounds better) could you be a doll and give me the recipe? Happy Ice cream day to you all!

I LOVE ICE CREAM! Ice cream and me go way back - as a child my dad would go to the grocery store on the corner and buy several half gallons of our favorite ice creams - mint chip, strawberry, and chocolate. He would bring it home and we would eat ice cream sandwiches made with the cheapo, best choice brand chocolate chip cookies. This childhood custom led to a major addiction. In my teen years I had several ice cream eating contests with my best friends. One time I downed an entire quart of Starbucks coffee ice cream in one sitting. (I advice you to not do this). I was shaking and didn't stop moving, let alone sleep, all night. A whole pint of Ben and Jerry's Half-baked ice cream, my absolute favorite, that is how I would celebrate National Ice Cream Day, expect for one slight hang up - I am on a sports diet that doesn't let me have processed sugar. So I will sit here, sad that I can't have any. For everyone else out there - Enjoy the ice cream. Everyone deserves a treat so delicious.

Hey roxanne271, You are too late! I did not know. Yesterday was the third Sunday in July and I have missed it. Does that mean that I have to wait a whole year to eat ice-cream? What time is it now in Hawaii? I might still have a few minutes left! I am trying not to look at your discussion mentioning all those ... bluebell, nutella, swirl ice-cream.. aaargh!!! Back in a second! No!... nothing in the fridge! ...Maybe the Orthodox Church will celebrate 12 days later. I'll speak to my Romanian friends. Gotta go! Bye. Umart
